Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi All: I went to the OS today and had a really scary experience. The OS assistant was instructed by the OS to do upper and lower impressions. When doing the upper impressions she put to much of the stuff in the tray and some of it was blocking my airway. Also the tray was a little to big for my mouth, but it was the smallest they had. I was actually gagging and couldn't breathe. When realizing this, she immediately tried to pull the tray out and actually made matters worse because it stuck to my braces and pushed the stuff further down my throat. Being that I was having trouble breathing those 3 minutes seemed like a lifetime. The assistant stated that they don't do many impressions. She stated that normally they receive impressions from the OD. Well from now on I will make sure my OD sends over the impressions because I surely will not go through that again. Anyway, I await now to see how the surgery on the molds come out and will hear from my OS mid-next week. Has anyone else ever had this experience?
