On August 2nd I had a consultation with a new orthodontist. He told me I'd need double jaw surgery, and possibly a genioplasty (just to help my profile). He said I'd need braces for about 6 months prior to getting surgery. I asked him if it were possible to have my mouth ready for surgery by December, so I could be operated on during Christmas break, and he said maybe. I'd have to talk to the oral surgeon about it.
So what's happened since August 2?
So what's happened since August 2?
- I had a consultation with an oral surgeon
- He basically told me everything I knew from my orthodontic consultation and blog-stalking, except he told me I'd need to get my wisdom teeth out. Oh, and I'd have to wait til next summer for surgery. No chance getting it during Christmas break.
- I waited for two weeks for something to happen
- My family's insurance had the possibility of changing, so we didn't want to get the process started and then have to stop if the new insurance didn't approve, so I waited and waited for something to happen.
- Nothing happened.
- We didn't get new insurance.
- The wisdom teeth appointment was made!
- I'm getting my wisdom teeth out October 18, 2013
- The braces appointment was made!
- I'm getting braces (for the third time) October 28, 2013
I hope to have info worth updating for soon.
Pictures to come.
