Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Diane, Hang in there. Soon enough you'll be in braces. With me they did in steps put in spacers, then front brackets Then finally back molars - which was the only time it was a real problem as the one molar is tipped and they had go under gum to put bracket on. It got inflamed or infected, so I treated it with periodex and it finally got better. I have a hunch this next 12 days (before surgery) will fly by. I have so many things to get done before hand.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Diane, Just to be clear, I think you are already very supportive of other members. In fact, you've been great providing comforting words. By this time next year you will be the Queen of all supporters because you'll have read so much about other surgeries and recoveries that no problem will seem new to you. Just wanted to make that clear:-) Sara > Diane, > > thanks for your well wishes and for the compliments for my photos. And > it's a good thing that you like your OS.
