Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I have read your concern.

You have not mentioned from where you had the treatment undergone.

I would suggest you to visit an or al-ma xillofacial surgeon and get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done.

Based on the prognosis of treatment,titanium jaw plates has to be either replaced or removed.

Meanwhile,avoid application of heavy forces on jaws.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Take care.

Hello ,
Thanks for asking your query.

First of all, if the plates are exposed in oral cavity, then you immediately need to visit proper Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in your locality.

Preference can be given to visit the previous oral surgeon who had operated your jaw before & placed the same plates.

Until you visit the surgeon, take softer food preferably to avoid any extra load on the jaws.

Use proper brushing along with mouth rinse locally to avoid food lodgement under the plate causing secondary infections.

Hope this helps.
