Four Months Post-Op
Well I know that most people out here in Adult Ortho world think I have forgotten about you... I definitely haven't. I am separating from the military and just arrived back home to move in with my folks about two weeks ago. I have been w/out personnel Internet access since the end of March, and of course the day after I arrive home where I do have Internet access, my digital camera breaks on me. Luckily, I have already met with my new OD in Oklahoma and they took new pics which they were kind enough to email me. So my long awaited results are finally here!! I have made tremendous progress and could not be happier with my bite! I am actually getting to the point where my teeth look as good as BrandyLeigh's!
The new OD is awesome and he has moved a lot around. I went in today and they took off all my brackets around my molars (to include the nasty ones that my RPE was attached to) And they did some bonding on my left lateral that is part of a bridge. Once I get my camera back I can take pics of that...my teeth look dramatically different already. I have to say it has been awhile since an adjustment made me sore; but today is definitely one of those adjustments. But well worth the pain! I hope the pics end up being big enough to see the detail/improvements. But my camera is being shipped back to me today...so hopefully more pics will be forthcoming.

Cooooool!! I can't wait to see your bonding job. Do you have a power chain for the right side? I guess we'll see in the forthcoming pics. I can see a lot more definition in your chin (and cheeks) now that all the swelling is gone. It looks very balanced as well. Seems your back molars are meeting a lot better too? Wow, I think I need an Advil, you're so pretty it hurts! :)
Hey there. I remember you saying that your midlines were an issue but they look pretty close in your pictures! I was wondering what your ortho or surgeon did to address that. Mine's about a whole tooth off and I don't actually know what's going to be done about it (if anything). I guess if my teeth all come together, it's OK, although it would be nice if things lined up "perfectly."
Lookin' good! You take some nice photos. :)
Erin,
The mid-line were corrected during surgery. He brought my entire lower jaw over to the left. I was a whole tooth off prior to surgery...and from my first expeience w/ braces my OD told me that it wouldn't be correctable w/out surgery. But after seeing the magic OD's can do these days...I don't know if I believe that. The movement of my lower jaw wasn't done to address the mid-line allighment, more so my jaw was really off set. Have you asked your doc what the plan is??
All,
Thanks for the positive comments and encouragment!
Wow! It's make me wonder to see your teeth was moving.
