Injured face pictures are always good for a laugh.

No offence
but I'd rather not be memed.

You can have the initial Xray though.

note the three teeth hanging on by a combination of roof lining and pieces of palette.

it's rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise from where it should be

Did they wire it all up?
I spent a hilarious month last year offering large food items to a mate who'd smashed his jaw and had it wired up. I had to search high and low for a massive gobstopper but it was totally worth it.

they couldn't
they can only do that with the lower jaw, the maxilla and palette aren't so solid or easy to repair. Actually it wasn't that bad, except for the bone graft to repair the upper jaw. Never agree to have a bone graft done under local anasthetic.

Is your face straight or is it a bit pissed?
Friend of mine had a similar injury and his face is a bit...well, askew.

no real change to the external look
except no teeth, obviously, but that changes on thursday. The graft meant my lower jaw changed shape where they cut bone out but it's fairly symmetrical.
