6 min readReviewed by Dr. Mohammed Bakri

Swelling and comfort

Swelling is an expected part of healing. Head elevation, cold therapy in the first days and prescribed medication can help.

Eating and oral hygiene

Nutrition is important for healing. You will receive guidance on diet progression and on keeping the mouth clean around incisions.

Follow-up

Regular follow-up appointments allow your surgical and orthodontic teams to monitor healing and the bite. Contact the team promptly if you have any concerns.
