Delaine/Re: 8 weeks post op and clenching at night

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

I'm so happy you wrote. I was actually reading your other postings

today and check out your latest pictures. I've been working on

getting mine up on the site. I have more later post ops then right

after my surgery. I think I was too afraid to look back at myself

once the surgery was done. You were brave to do this. And in the

more recent pictures you look great. You'll have to check in on

mine. I have some more I need to post tonight.

Thank you so much for your insight. I've been really nervous about

the clenching and I can't wait to discuss it with my OD. I have my

appt. this Thursday (on my b-day). I hope he'll have some good news

for me. I also need to discuss my tongue thrusting problem. I

strongly believe that this is still happening and it could cause

problems again. I believe you had an open bite too, right?

I really hope that the clenching stops soon. My teeth are starting

to feel like when I first got on my braces. That I think was the

worst " actual " pain I remember. Even after the surgery the pain

wasn't that bad.

Thank for writing and I hope to hear back from you soon. =O)
