- Welcome back! 365 Days later and here we are! I thought i'd put together a video that you can listen to on your way to work, at the gym or in bed about my update once again!
QnA Video: • my BIGGEST FEAR going ...
Instagram: ...
You are a legend man. Great video, you are helping a lot of people. I just decided to do this surgery after waiting for months for Insurance approval (which my insurance company denied so I'm going to have pay for it myself). Gonna be turning 25 soon, your video gave me all the confidence I needed!
You’ve made my day!! I’m so glad Vineeth! It sucks that your insurance isn’t helping but it’s going to be worth every cent
I have my surgery in a few months from now, your videos are so good, i appreciate your lighthearted humor about your journey, makes me feel way more at ease with the process
You are most welcomed! ❤️ I am always here to answer any questions you may have along the way
im 3 weeks after my SARPE and i cannot even think about 12 months away! You're looking so well
Dude all the best! Thank you! Before you know it, time flies. How are you feeling now?
@@anishdev92 its roughly 6 weeks and its ok. i think the biggest struggles are eating and cleaning everything properly.
Are you thinking of getting a waterpik?
@@burcinsaglam4196 everyone is different, i am starting to eat more solids now after 6 weeks. I am not on fully solid foods as I cannot chew due to the alignment of my teeth and my mouth is still quite numb. 4 days however is too soon to be on solids, give it a little more time :)
how much was your sarpe surgery
Just had SARME surgery 2 days ago, I’m a 37 yo male. Not gonna lie, the recovery from this surgery has been brutal. I would definitely recommend always having an ice back ready, your face will swell quite significantly. I have a pretty high pain threshold but this surgery is right up there.
It will all be worth it in the end.
Ice packs are good for sure! Sounds a lot rougher than my recovery / goes to show how different it can be for everyone. I hope it disappears on you fast Kyle!
1.5month past expanding (8mm). My right tooth started tilting outwards so the gap at the (bottom) base was actually 9mm, which was pretty awful (to me at least). Most people said nothing, a few mades somes jokes about it, but I survived (no shit)
Now, the gap is 5.5mm at the upper base and 7mm at the lower base. It's still a lot, people still look at me weird and I still feel obliged to explain myself to everyone I meet but I have to say: what a relief to see it closing! I confess I've been cheating a bit using some elastics bands (my ortho probs wouldn't be happy about it but y'know, I'm doing it "safe" with a very low amount of pressure, removing it as soon as I feel any discomfort/pain and I feel it's helping)
I'll have the expander removed on February 5th (my birthday, how lovely right!) and will then pursue an Invisalign treatment. I'm an optimistic guy by nature but I have to be realistic too: the gap won't fully close probably before end of summer 24 AT BEST.
It's long, it's hard, can be super annoying and even painful at times, but I guess it's worth it
Beyond thank you for this. I'm getting it done less than a month from today. It's a necessity for me for multiple reasons but I'm freaking out. This video was very comforting. Thanks for your reassuring words. But I'm still freaking out. And yes, it's cause I'm old and the idea of the gap and my face changing! My ortho and surgeon say my process will be 3 years long. I'm FREAKING out. Still, thank you, and still freaking out.
Are you still freaking out!? You are most welcome! I feel like you’re close to the big day, tell me everything!
In about 6 months I'll be having the surgery, got the braces on now. Nervous but determined. Scare about the pain tho, but I did got my wisdom tooth removed and I survived, so I think I got this 👍👍
Thank you for encouring me and all that have or will be going under the surgery 🙌
If you can survive wisdom teeth removal, you’ve got this!!
Ive just had this surgery, your videos were honestly the most helpful and funny, really made me feel better about this. Especially cherish the gap! Your teeth are looking great
Thank you Dayna! Congratulations on taking the plunge! I’m so glad it’s giving you some reassurance because I know how worth it it’s gonna be for you!
On the ejection note, I invested in a Waterpik a long time ago and honestly it's one of the best tools I have to clear stuck food in my mouth and works very well given my palate expander and braces.
Oh man. The spaghetti LOL. The struggle is real!
I was lucky in that I did the wisdom teeth and the surgery all at the same time. I did have to pull another teeth later as a molar had shifted back, keeping my lower wisdom tooth socket exposed and getting an infection. Luckily it was another quick surgery and recovery process.
Yes!!! Waterpiks/ Waterflosses are totally worth it 😍
WHOAH! I don’t know how I would’ve survived the surgery & wisdom teeth at the same time 😂 I would’ve been a zombie
Anish Dev I don’t really know how but I was feeling pretty normal after only 5 days. Every body is different!
Charlie Evans hahah woww! Literally blessed right here, I was on the other end of the spectrum
I have done this sarpe surgery last week. Thanks for sharing your experience.
What a great sense of humor this dude has; his word variety is genius.
Hahahahah 😂 the skill of blowing the food out of your mouth just literally killed me 👏🏼🤣
No joke 😂 I feel sorry for my partner
These are SO helpful. Thank you!
You’re most welcome!
Omg thanks for answering my question about the facial changes haha 🙌🏼
HHAH you’re welcome! I didn’t even think about it being a concern till recently!
So proud of you!
😍❤️
i got my wisdom teeth removed at the same time they did Sarpe, im 2 days after surgery and its the worst i've ever tried..
#cherishthegap!! Great video, should of given us a content warning for the ejection topic though 😂
Oops 🙊 watch out it’s flying toward you!
Really good message bro...I am about to go 4 sarpe...already freaking out..God bless you buddy.
I do my S.A.M.E surgery in 2 weeks, so nervous but yet so excited! I'm in Melbourne as well. I going with Smile Solutions and OralMax :)
That’s exciting! Exactly like me!
First. Thank you so much for the videos. They helped me prepare for everything leading up to my surgery (November 2022) removal March 2023. I got braces on 2 weeks before removal.
Lately, I feel like I've had a setback. My front upper teeth have hurt since the beginning along with nerve pain. But it seemed to be getting better but for the past week it feels like the pain when I used to be turning the SARPE. Did you have any set back like that?
Thank you again!
You are absolutely welcome! Nothing better than hearing that my videos have helped you in someway!
A “setback” I had was I do remember having a bit of a “click” every couple of days on my upper jaw, it felt a little uncomfortable but it went away in a week or two!
Any updates? I have had a slower than normal healing process according to my oral surgeon. I am almost 9 months post op and about 8 mont post completion of expanding, and I’ve had nerve pain. I was prescribed GABAPENTIN to help and it definitely makes a difference. Hoping the nerves heal soon. I’m definitely anxious about this whole healing process just because it’s been so slow. Hope you have had some relief as well with your nerve pain.
@@felishapowell3847hello, it's been 14 months for me now.
My top gums still do not have feel back. Brush my teeth, talking and eating all feel strange. A part of my nose also doesn't have feeling back yet. Hopefully at the 2 year mark? Lol. Next up is my next jaw surgery 😳
Thank you so much for the positivity in this video. I am getting SARPE surgery in 2 weeks and I am 30. I was scared and nervous about it until I watched this video.
How long do you think it would take to go back to strenuous exercise?
You are so very welcome! Good on you for taking the plunge! I would say a month before doing any HIIT or sprints. Don’t lift heavy above your head for 2 months and you should be fine by then!
@@anishdev92 Thank you so much for responding. Why not lift anything heavy above my head? What happens?
In terms of HIIT or sprints is it because it hurts or bleeds?
No worries! So the biggest reason is the risk of something slipping, hitting your head and causing trauma to the jaw while it’s healing.
As for hiit, it’s the combination of vigorous movement & blood / heart rate going too high, causing potential bleeding while your nose blood vessels are repairing
Lmao you're hilarious dude. Smile looks great! I'm two days away from my surgery and this made me feel a little better
Hahah thanks man! HOW ARE YOU FEELING NOW
@@anishdev92 I’m 5 days in. Swelling has gone down slightly. Cant chew anything yet and lips/nose/cheeks area feels a little painful yet. Will I ever talk normal again ?!
Hahah of course you’ll be able to speak normally! It’ll be very different with the expander honestly, you won’t sound the same until the expander is off, just not in a bad way! Plus once you’re used to it, you slowly start to speak normally again
Hey ! Thanks for the video. It’s been really helpful to me. I had the surgery three weeks ago. Quick question, I know that our bodies behave differently under recovery , but any idea how soon can you get back to exercises like running ?
I had it 3 day ago and i just wamt to get back in the gym, i hope soon
Things like running can be started as soon as a month, all depends on what your ortho thinks. However? Any heavy lifting needs to wait because of the pressure that it has on your body
Thank you for the video! Can I ask how old you are and weather or not they split your maxilla in the surgery?
Thank you for watching! I am 28 years old and they did split my maxilla 😃💓
@@anishdev92 Your progress and positive attitude is amazing! Many thanks for your videos. Really gives an insight into the process 👍🏻🌈
Thanks Ricky 😍 So glad it’s useful info to some!
@@anishdev92 One more question if I may... I am considering this surgery for my narrow upper palate in order to open up my nasal passages (I have breathing difficulties, especially at night).
Have you found that you can breathe better even with the device in, as your palate broadened?
I must’ve missed this!
To answer your question, YES! I breathe so much better through my nose compared to before. It’s one of the things I didn’t think I needed, but has helped so much
It's interesting that you were able to eat so soon. I was told STRICT no chew diet for 6 weeks and I'm now 8 weeks post op and can barely chew anything tougher than thin pork belly or shabu beef 😮💨 I was in so much pain the first 2 weeks I barely could drink my bone broth every day.
Oh nooo im so sorry you’re going through that! I think it boils down to every body and the different ways we recover from surgery. How are you feeling right now?
Brooke, can you please tell me how you managed your pain? I'm really nervous about it
@Jen Channon they give you meds. My doctor just severely underdosed me so after a couple hours I could feel everything. Just be honest with your doctor if your dosage doesn't work for you. Unfortunately my doctor was DOD and they're notorious for bad patient care, so I got no fighting choice. Lots of cold water though, ice cream or Gelato etc.
the sass 😂 love the video ! thank you !
Hahaa what sasssssssssss
You funny lol 😂
You're a king
No you’re a king!!!
Current compared to old pic you look good.
Only compared to my old pic 😂
How sassy you've become haha looking good!
Haha i hope not too sassy!
Where did you get your surgery done? And did medicare cover any of the cost? Thanks!
So I had private health insurance and one of my extras was orthodontics, so all in all it covered about $3,000.. don’t quote me on that just yet because I’m going to do a full cost breakdown on my next video
Also I got it done in Melbourne! Oralmax surgeons
Anish Dev thanks
Lol your funny love your sense of humor
Hey, you're in Melbourne? Did you see Ricky Kumar for the surgery?
I did!
How soon after the surgery can you talk somewhat normally?
5-10 days
Hey Anish bro,
How has your breathing changed when the gap was created (2-3 months after SARPE maybe)?
I'm waiting for my MSE to arrive to fix narrow upper jaw and breathing problems.
So I noticed mainly that I was able to take much better deep breaths with my nose. Something I never actually thought I had an issue with. I also have seemed to stop snoring 🥳
@@anishdev92 Wooohooo! Big score man! Without good breathing your whole life is messed up so its a amazing change.
Did you get yours and finish it? I’m getting this done soon (hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks)
@@lightsy2010 Finished my expander, it definitely helped a bit but doing my past unhealthy habits gives me sleep apnea again
@@Kbgoda1 what process did you do? I’m actually doing DOME and then an MSE (I’m 29 but will be 30 at the end of the month when surgery happens on Nov 30)
Hoping for the best. Laying in bed about to put on my cpap and hoping to rely on nasal sprays less in the future lol
Did it change the way you talk/ shape of your nose? How long did it take for the gap to close
If there was no lockdown in Melbourne, the gap would have taken 3 months to close!
How did you get this process? Idk how to start it
First step - see an orthodontist! The rest works it’s way naturally depending on what you need
I'm 41 and want to do this but i'm really concerned about the face chance...I like my shape. Don't know what to do.
Look at some before and afters on Google and judge for yourself, the changes can be minor and also major depending on each individual case, just think whether a small change to your face outweighs the benefits of expanding
@@anishdev92 hi, thanks for your message. Im going to do it. 19th of may
Woohoo! Good job on taking the plunge 😍😍 I’m so excited for you!
@@anishdev92 me too. Text me the 20th and i will tell you how it was. By the way, im from belgium, Antwerp. Nice to meet you
@@stijnjans2311 hey i recently got this procedure done
Hows it been for you?
Did the surgery change your nose shape or make your nose holes bigger?
Negative
But I do think nose shape slightly affected, but by any noticeable difference tho
#cherishthegap 🤣
Don’t know what y’a got till’ it’s gone!
That gap is making me not want to get it. Pretty ridiculous to look like bugs bunny when you’re pushing 30
It’s probably the most daunting part of the whole process, but what looks like he’ll actually ends up being nothing at all once you take the plunge
How long did it take for your gap to look more normal
It never looked normal 😂 but I had fun with it - if you mean how long before the gap closed, I’d say 1.5 months after reaching maximum gap. My gap got smaller throughout expanding because your teeth actually move closer together each day that goes by, and sometimes can outrun your expansion
@@anishdev92 woah lmao - went through all that pain for your teeth to go back? I am in week two of MARPE rn… I have a different device than the moon one because my palette is too high and narrow.
But no gap yet :/
