Re: My First OD Adjustment

[Guest guest]

Yeah!!!! I am so happy that everything is moving along for you. I am

still waiting on the braces. Hopefully, I will be joining you soon.

When are you forcasted for surgery?

Rene - My OD told me at my Ortho Consult back in June that I would be

in braces up to ten months before surgery and up to six months after.

He said he was planning to call my OMS in May(2006) to tell him that

I'm ready for my pre-surgery work-up for surgery in June, but he also

told me that if my teeth move really fast that I could be ahead of

schedule which would move my surgery up a month or two. He says it

ALL depends on my teeth and how soon they will be aligned in my

arches. Actually, I would prefer to have the surgery in late spring

(April or May) so my co-workers' summer vacations won't be messed up,

as I will be off from work for four to five weeks if I have both

upper and lower done.// When will you be getting your braces

installed? How long will you be in them before your surgery and then

after? ~~~~ Diane :-)#)

Hey! Good to hear from you, we haven't talked in a while. I have my

consult on Sept 19th, so I will get the braces installed as soon as

they can get me in. I will know on the 19th how long they expect

everything to take. I know I may be pushing it, but I would love an

April surgery date. I don't know if you read my 'feel sorry for me'

post, but my husband is leaving in May for a year, and it would be

much easier if he were home for the initial recovery. Also, the

pain is getting worse. I think the longer I am off the anti-

inflammatories the worse the symptoms are. Anyway, in my dream

world, April would be great. I am so glad everything is moving along

for you. We may be surgery buddies, huh.
