Diane/Re: How many orthognathic surgeries should an OS be doing a year?

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

Sounds like our OS are on the same page. I have a tooth that was

extracted that needs an implant. It is a molar tooth and I will hold

off on that until I get my crowns in. Yes, my OS is a great guy

also, plus an added bonus is so so good looking..(haha) Not that I

planned it that way of course..(haha)

I am so happy that your journey down the Orthognathic path is getting

ready to begin. That is really exciting news. Yes, the spacers were

not fun for me, but nothing that a little Tylenol couldn't cure. It

probably wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and take the Tylenol

before your appointment.

Best of luck to you and keep me posted!!
