Re: braces yet?

[Guest guest]

Hello Joanne - Hope you're having a nice weekend. I'm trying to

relax and get a grip on the whole LeFort situation, but I will

probably call Dr. next week to talk to him about it. I don't

get my brackets and spacers til July 26th, and then August 9th I get

spacers out, archwires in, bands on molars, and maybe power chains

on the top. So, I have a few weeks left to really enjoy eating

things that will soon be forbidden, like popcorn. I just want to get

this whole process started; the sooner the braces get put on, the

sooner I can get the surgery done (whatever procedures I actually

end up having: BSSO, LeFort (YUCK!), and Lipo). Thanks for the

support. ~~ Diane
