Re: Teeth not touching after surgery???

[Guest guest]

When my splint was removed, exactly two teeth touched. My surgeon

threatened me if I bit down before I got to my ortho to have it

ground down or whatever.

He also wanted me to be sure to see the ortho within 24 hours of

getting the splint removed.

I think, in your shoes, I'd call the ortho and ask about your

concerns. But now it's almost the weekend, and you probably can't get

him until Monday.

Tova, any time you want to delete one of your messages, just call it

up as if you were going to reply to it. You'll see an option to

delete it, which you'll then have to confirm.

I've been known to do that when I've posted the same answer more than

once... ;~>)

Thanks... I was wondering about that... would not want to send my mom

here to teach her about the process for my younger brother and have her

read posts where I was talking about her... :-)

Yeah, I was pretty aggravated about that whole thing but I just tried

to focus on the bigger picture... and today I went to him and things

are looking pretty good. My teeth have all naturally come together, my

mid-line is right on, and he told me March 7th is D-day when the bands

are removed (except for 2, part-time) and I can get back to a sorta

normal life. Meanwhile, my spring collection is arriving from the

factory March 2 and I have to call all the stores before I ship them

out... I'm already worried about how that's gonna get done...

And on a personal note... check out my bags!

I'm working on getting them on QVC... maybe my final results will be on

TV for everyone to see!
