my update...saw my ortho today at 5:30

May 25, 2004

First of all, thanks you to all of you that responded to my post.

Just hearing that you thought I made the right move by sending a

letter made me feel a bit better. My ortho called me today at noon

after reading my letter and told me to come in.

I saw my ortho at 5:30 today. She agreed that my bite had definitely

changed (not for the better). I explained to her my concerns again.

I am back in a box shaped rubber band that goes around my four upper

& 4 lower incisors (right in the front of my mouth. She is also

trying to jutt out my upper canines (eye teeth) a bit because I seem

to be hitting on them.

I see her again on June 2. I guess she now realizes that my case is

important to me. I am going to give her a chance to work this out and

try to " fix " me. She is supposed to be very good & my ortho works

with her on cases often. I also will see my OS soon, he is on

vacation but I will try to make an appt. for when he returns in 2

weeks. I am trying to stay positive & hope for the best outcome. I

do feel that now my ortho will pay better attention to my case. I

told her I contacted my surgeons office today.

Hopefully while I am on vacation my front will close up as much as

possible. I really want to enjoy myself and not

worry about my jaws, mouth, teeth ect. I am going to the British

Virgin Islands for 4 days (I leave Friday). Have any of you been

there?

Best,
