Re: Expecting too much when i eat? KATIE

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I'm in elastics until I get the braces off, which at this point

looks to be another six months. The elastics are pulling my teeth

into final alignment vertically. The way my OD and OS worked it out

my teeth were touching at the back and front after my OS was through

with me, and the elastics are pulling my lower middle teeth up to

match the level of the rest of my teeth.

I feel for you with the 11 month old. Mine are all older, but that

only means I have to hurry and finish eating so I can help with

homework, help clean the kitchen, help... (you get the picture). It

is easier when you can talk with the child and communicate what you

want/need, but with 3, it's always a zone defense around our house!

My numbness isn't too bad. I have just over half my chin, from my

lips to my jawline, that is still numb. Some of it is sensitive to

sharp touches, some feels dull, and some is completely numb. But I

saw my OS this morning and he says that all the area that has any

numbness is controlled by the same nerve, and some of the areas are

sensitive to sharpness, so there is an excellent chance it will all

come back over time. But, I still do chew on my tongue sometimes!

LOL

Take care and continued great healing!
