Welcome to

Ortho-implants have a successful fitting rate of about 80%, which means one in 4-5 screws will not “set in” – it will be shaky and will move in the hole.

2 weeks after the procedure, my bottom 2 screws are firmly in and there’s no inflammation there at all. My top screws are a different story. At first they looked to be the best fitted, with no infection, bleeding etc. Now, however, one top screw is wobbly and infection has started around it where there wasn’t one at first.

I’m going in for an emergency appointment tomorrow, hopefully they can somehow stabilize it. I suspect they will screw in a larger diameter post, but we’ll see.
