Cross bite adjustment woes

Last week was supposed to be the last time I was to visit the ortho for the month of November. But I had to do a quick visit yesterday because of the unbearable pain I have been having these last few days due to the cross bite correction adjustment done on my braces last week. The pain was too much that there was no way I will be functional without taking Mefenamic Acid. I wake up in the middle of sleep because of the horrible pain!

Doc was surprised himself yesterday when he saw that after only a week of adjustment, the cross bite is already relatively corrected. The abrupt response of my bones was the culprit to the nagging pain! My doc does not just have a fine clinic and services and great dental equipment financing, I assume, he also knows what he’s doing. I was given amoxicillin to treat the swollen jaw and help me heal the disintegrated jaw bones and also Celebrex for the pain. Hopefully, this will all go away in a few days! I can’t imagine having our vacay, celebrating our 10th anniversary in such pain.
