thank you Dani! You're so sweet! I just posted my day 0/day 1 entry. I will definitely write more tomorrow!
hey, by the way, were you able to get your toothbrush inside your mount on the backside of your teeth and tongue area? I can't get my mouth open wide enough so just doing mouth rinses and using a syringe. Any tips??

I couldn't do that for quite a few days... nothing to worry about! I just brushed my front few teeth and then used the mouthwash.

Dani - do you recall how much your palette was expanded with the 3 piece le fort? Did your doctor tell you how it might impact your function/appearance and/or what exactly it was for? I'm assuming just so my teeth would fit together and there should be no other purpose but I don't know for sure. This procedure was "tacked on" last minute after my surgeon did the mock surgery and I never really got the chance to look into it or ask any questions about it.
