SWELLING: Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery and will not reach its maximum until 2-3 days after surgery. It can be minimized by using a cold pack, ice bag or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel and applied firmly to the cheek adjacent to the surgical area.
During the first week after surgery be careful to make sure that while brushing your teeth, the bristles of the brush stay on or very near the teeth and braces. You may have some soreness and may have some difficulty in opening your mouth. This may prevent you from brushing the tongue side of your teeth.
