I have growing concerns with my bite. I feel that things are shifting ever so slightly to the left. I think this is because my wires have loosened somewhat since surgery. I texted Dr A about it and he said that it was no problem at all if I come in on Monday and have him tighten things up. Yay! I have some "play" in my bite in that I can move it front to back and side to side a teensy bit. I can see the movement in the mirror and hear my teeth squeaking past one another, so I know it's not in my head. Hopefully the tightening helps this.
Also, did anyone notice that their bottom teeth felt funny after surgery? Almost like when I had loose teeth as a kid. It doesn't hurt at all, but it is disconcerting.
My mother has been trying her best to keep me from going crazy from the boredom, and so tonight we went to the movies. I got to see Daniel Craig run around in Cowboys & Aliens...yummy. Hahaha. The movie was tons of fun and really entertaining, so all in all a good night for me. I even got to drink soda with a straw like a normal person!

Nora, thanks for posting this! You look great! It's interesting to see how they wired your jaw without braces. Your teeth look fairly straight already, so hopefully you won't need braces for too long later on.
ReplyDeletewow I really wish I had this option, braces are a pain
ReplyDeleteIt's not all that ideal. I have four screws that are coming directly out of my gums. The wires are wrapped around these. Those screws need to come out somehow...
