Maxillary movement after SARPE
Question
Hello and thank you for your very rich site.
I just underwent a SARPE and after 24 hours, my upper maxilla is moving a lot vertically.
There was a transversal movement with a crack that is already visible, but this movement (both hemimaxillas and the teeth move about 5 mm when I talk) does not seem normal to me…
What do you think?
Sincerely.
Answer
I have never had any patient whose hemimaxillas were moving of 5 mm vertically while talking after undergoing a SARPE.
This is definitely not normal.
I recommend that you consult your surgeon as soon as possible.
