Re: Orthodontist / surgeon consult (UK)

[Guest guest]

Mira - Sounds like your Orthognathic Journey is about to begin!

Congratulations on having the courage to undergo the process. Soon

you will be in braces. The eighteen months in braces is just an

estimate - I'm sure once your teeth get moving it won't take that

long. So what does your Orthodontist and Surgeon look like? Mine are

both very handsome men; my OD is very tall and in his 30's, and my

OMS is about 5'10 " , in his forties, and has a huge mustache. If your

OD is good-looking, it gives you something to look at while he's

working in your mouth! HaHa! I'm confused: What is Mr.Harper's job?

Well, keep us posted about the bone scan, and take care. ~~ Diane---

Hehe, my OS's partner is the hot one there. My OS, Dr. Cannon, is a

nice looking " older " gentleman (around my dad's age, late 50's...and

no I'm not saying that's old! lol)

But Dr. Sexton, whoa. He's the very good looking younger Dr. (mid

30's maybe?) and it takes everything in me not to blush when he looks

at me, hehe. And then when he stares at my face looking at my wonky

jaw, I really get embarrassed. It's bad enough to have my regular Dr.

looking at me for what seems like forever, but when he says, " Let me

get Dr. Sexton in here, " I just have to take a deep breath, lol.

I mean really ladies, could it be any worse than having a hot Dr.

named Sexton??

And I had a dream this weekend that he had to come to my house to

check up on me, and I was all embarrassed because my house was a

mess!!! LOL! Thank goodness it ended there. My husband would not be

too pleased if I'd dreamed any more.

Hi Diane!

You can see a pic of Mr Harper here,

he is my consultant and coordinates my treatment with

the surgeon etc, but he is also my orthodontist.

You're right, lucky to have someone pretty that you

are spending muchos time with
