, you say one of your front teeth is behind the other? Did your

ortho say exactly how he can fix that because i seem to have a

similar problem. One of my front teeth is up higher than the other

creating a " one tooth longer than the other " look and it aint cute.

lol! and i also have the broken top wire between the front teeth.

The ortho is to replace it when i see him next week. The surgeon

needed to cut it in order to move around the the two pieces of my

top jaw (or so he told me) he used a thin piece of wire to hold teh

two front brackets together. Oh and how long post-op are you? Ill be

seven weeks tomorrow. Boy has time flown?!

Hey Krystal, I am 4.5 weeks post op. I will have to ask my OS if he

cut the wire, as i am sure, now that i inspected it over the weekend,

that it indeed has been broken since the surgery. Once of the first

things i noticed when i looked at my face the day after surgery in

the hospital mirror, was that one front tooth was tilted and a little

behind the other. Odd, not correct, but i figured ORtho could fix it.

Indeed he can. I went to ortho today and he did not want to replace

the wire without talking to the OS, who was out of the office today.

So the ortho wired them together. Perhaps mine were by the OS during

surgery if he cut them, but 4 days out of the hosp and i had to to in

to get a wire cut out as it was cutting up my upper lip. i wonder if

that was the wire! Anyway, i see surgeon tomorrow and i will ask

about this.
