Answer questions about wearing a nose mold

1. A mother asked, how long should I wear this nose mold?

This nose mold is not medicine, but a mold. The child's growth is constantly changing, and this nose mold is a fixed function. Did we go to the supermarket and see some weird fruit shapes? These fruits are harvested from a mold, and then they are given molds one by one so that they can only grow according to the shape of this mold. The same goes for our nose mold. It needs to be put on after surgery so that the nose can grow according to the shape of the mold. So we thought, can we wear it for one day? One month, two months, not even, more than half a year! More than half a year after the operation, I wore a nose mold for Bing three months after the cleft lip surgery, and I wore it until he was 2 years old! When I was doing the lip surgery, my nose was not affected, so I just used this nose mold to hold it up. You know, I have a third-degree cleft lip and palate!

2. A mother asked if she can rest while wearing this nose mold?

Well, as I said before, this nose mold is not a medicine, but just a mold to help the child's nose grow and develop. The human body develops every moment, and there is no such thing as rest, so there is no such thing as rest when wearing a nose mold. The longer it lasts, the better the development of the nose will be. Dad Bing once said, if your child is feeling very uncomfortable, can you just let him rest for two days? No! Under no circumstances would I listen to him! Because the body develops all the time!

3. A mother said that her child always pulls it off but he refuses.

Well, yes! No one would want that! Because after all, this thing is not something that is born with the human body. I remember that when Bing was undergoing orthodontics before surgery, Bing cried so hard that he wanted to push it out with his tongue. Every day's disassembly and assembly was a kind of torture. Bing's sister said, Mom, if you install it for him every day, if you install it too much, he will think it is his own. Yes, when the child gets used to it, if he accidentally does it, he will cry like crazy. The key is that we can persevere! Later, it was the same when it came to wearing nose molds. We wore them every day and never took them off. We only took them off and washed them when taking a shower. After washing them, we went to bed, got dressed, and then installed the nose molds. Some people also have a problem, that is, when there is no way to change no matter how hard we fight, we will compromise. If we feel that the child is pitiful and wears it for a day or not, the child will think that it is because we cry, we argue, and we can do it ourselves. , so you don’t have to do this? It seems to work sometimes. Well, let's try it again today. If we can always stick to our principles, we won't let our children try to break the rules.

4. Some mothers asked, when can the nose mold be replaced?

Well, if it’s loose, it needs to be replaced. When is it loose? The nose molds we wear are all slightly larger than our noses. It means that we can raise the nose a little higher. This is an overcorrection process. Now when we have a nose mold, we raise it a little bit. When we don't wear it, the nose will come down a little. The lower point is the right position. It doesn't matter if it's higher.

5. A mother asked, when I go out wearing a nose mold, people always ask, why do you do this?

Well, we can generously say that it is a nose mold, which can make the child's nose more beautiful. Just wear it for more than a year, and it will look beautiful in the future. Many people will agree that a nose becomes more beautiful when it becomes straighter. I have been wearing a nose mold for Bing for more than a year, and many people have always asked about it. Also, where can I buy it? Do they also want to wear it for their children? hehe. I said no,

This is a special nose mold for children with cleft lip and palate. It will be useless for your children to wear it. Ha, people look helpless.

Of course some people will question, how uncomfortable is the child? I would say that the reason you see your child happy is because you feel uncomfortable. This is a process of his treatment. It is normal to feel a little uncomfortable during treatment. Well, this is to treat a disease. What kind of disease can be treated so well? You will also understand.

Of course, some children will say, look, he looks like a pig. We don't need to pay attention to him! Sometimes, when I have time, I will talk to some children about cleft lip and palate. My brother is the same as you, but he has this disease since he was born. But like you, he was born by his mother, but he was born with cleft lip and palate. With this disease, he needs a treatment process.

I hope you won’t laugh at him. If you were born and your mother thought you were ugly and threw you away, what would happen to you? Would you be happy if someone laughed at you? Now my brother has not been thrown away by his aunt, and her aunt is taking care of him and accommodating him for treatment. One day he will not need to wear this nose mold, and one day he will be like you. The children nodded in approval, and even loved him very much.

Wearing a nose mold is a process that requires long-term persistence. I got through it, and you can too! come on! Our persistence now will make our children’s future better! And I want to tell you that if your children’s noses are not properly propped up now, they will have to wear them for more than half a year if they undergo nose adjustment surgery in the future. There are several adult children in our group who had their noses adjusted and the doctor asked them to wear a nose mold for half a year. There was a child from Yulin who went to the Beijing Stomatological Hospital to have his nose adjusted. Later, because the nose mold fell off, he came to me and asked if there were any large nose molds for sale here. I asked him to go to the medical school to have his nose adjusted again. Bought. I still remember that his nose mold was size 7.

These are my little experiences of wearing nose molds on my children, and I would like to share them with you! If you have any better experience, please share it with everyone in the group. We just hope that the children can complete the treatment process better and that everyone can avoid detours.
