Re: TIME TO MOVE TO ARCHWIRED - orthognathic style

[Guest guest]

Friend, spend your time where you choose to spend it. And I hope

those here will check out the site you suggest, too.

For me, despite yahoo's shortcomings, this site is easier to

navigate than that one, although I know many people have found

support and reassurance there.

I encourage all sources of information for all people.

But please don't down this one because you like another format

better. Personally, I find the archwired format cumbersome to

navigate. And it, in my experience, is more devoted to discussions

of braces (which of course are relevant here, too) than surgery,

which is a whole 'nother giant step.

So everybody read everything, and use the parts that serve you best.

You can't have too many resources... More info is better, always, I

believe!

Nope. You don't have to keep scrolling. Just pick a keyword and do

an archive search, and you'll find the references. It's not a tidy

process, but I've never found anything organized in any way i could

figure out on the archwired site, through no fault of the

participants. I'm glad you've had better results.

I wish that some of the docs who are posting ads on the pages here

would participate, at least occasionally, in the discussions. I

agree that having such expert commentary is useful. But I also would

warn that comments from one expert may not reflect what your own

expert has found in examining your mouth.

And I can tell you, as a person who has had braces and ortho

corrections alone, and who has had surgery (even minimal, as mine

was), that the prospect of surgery on the jaws is quite different,

and (I think) more frightening one than wearing the hardware to move

things around.

I do think your contributions and viewpoints are welcome, and hope

you will continue to post here. The more info, the better!

And I wish that some of the docs who place ads on this site and OSS

2 would occasionally check in, too, and give us some ideas of what

they think. Clearly they're interested in our conversations, because

they're paying Yahoo for their ads here. Wish they'd contribute,

too. Even if they say, " Cammie is a nutcase, and don't listen to a

thing she says! "
