I'm on day 3 after having my left-side wisdom teeth removed, both upper and lower, and I've been having a lot of pain in my left temple. It's so bad that I can't sleep at night. I'm also worried because the left side of my tongue is still numb. What's going on here? Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

View allI have a small mucocele under 1 cm on my lower lip that doesn't seem to be going away. Is it something to worry about if I don't want to get surgery for it?
A small mucocele (mucous cyst) on your lower lip, under 1 cm, is usually not a cause for immediate concern if it's not causing any pain, discomfort, or interfering with your ability to eat, talk, or swallow. However, it's best to monitor it and see a dentist if it persists for more than a few weeks or if you notice any changes.

I have a short face and want to increase my midface length how much can double jaw surgery or Lefort surgery actually help with that? Are there limits to how much they can lengthen it, and what factors affect the results?
Double jaw or LeFort surgery can lengthen the midface slightly (4–6 mm typically), but results depend on bone anatomy, soft tissue tension, and surgeon expertise.

My son had cleft surgery 9 years ago but now his upper and lower jaws don't seem aligned properly His lower lip is protruding and looks thicker What should be done next and is there a recommended age for further treatment
Post-cleft jaw misalignment often needs orthodontics or orthognathic surgery; ideal age is after growth completion, usually mid to late teens.
