Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Here is the latest update inthe world of me: I went for my monthly adjustment at myorthos today (Surgery April 20, upper lower, wired for two weeks, banded until today) and they said that I could stop wearing my bands except at night (and only two at night and not three) and that my jaw had not moved at all, AND.... If all goes well I should be out of the birthcontrol.. I mean braces by August or september (one or two more visits!!!!!) I was so pumped when I left. My ortho even had me go into a consultation wiht him and a prospective patient who was facing hte same type of process I was. It was interesting to hear him tell the guy the same things I was told 14 months ago! I am hoping that they will be gone by august.. would be nice to go back to class with teeth showing instead of metal...*drools at the thought of normality* ANyways, I am still lurking and shall be reading through the msgs form time to time... hope everyone elses process is going well.. PS> has anyone ever heard their ortho say that ideally 3/4 of the length of your bottom teeth shoudl be showing? i.e. you should see 3/4 of the tooth from the tip, 3/4 of the way towards the gum.. on the bottom? i heard my orth say it today and thought it was interesting... --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!
