Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 You look great!! I'm jealous that your teeth touch, even a little! Only my front 4 teeth touch right now, and without the rubber bands to hold my jaw where it belongs I wouldn't know what to do with it, I have a lot of room for movement in all directions with my bite right now since nothing is touching. My OS explained to me that I'm going to have a series of rubber bands installed by the Ortho later that will be pretty tight so that they " erupt " the molars that aren't touching and bring them together. I don't know when that will happen for me, but I'm not looking forward to it, it sounds painful! ~Jen > Hi there everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I know, I'm not looking forward to the ortho rubberbands either, I know I will still need them, hopefully just not for that long. I'm figuring it can't be any worse than the intrusion I had to do with my lower front teeth. They were really bad before my braces. That actually was what held up my surgery, my gaps closed quicker (I had some pretty big gaps too). So how are you doing today? > > Hi there everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I'm doing good today. I think some of my energy is coming back. The pain in my neck and shoulders is almost gone, and my jaw is sore, but only really hurts now when I talk a lot. I'm going to run out of the Vicodin today if I keep taking it like I have been, so I guess it's a good thing it doesn't hurt as much now. I think I'll save a couple just in case though. I'd rather not get stuck without it. ~Jen > > > Hi there everyone!
