well he has my xrays now, but as far as the two of them discussing my "case", thats where they are lollygagging.
Im thinking that the next time I go to my ortho Im just gonna get ALL my records anyway cause Im going to find one closer than him. He's an hour and a half away from me.

hi all- This may be a bit long, but Im in need of some advice. I had my consultation with my oral surgeon on Nov. 29th. I show up only to find that he had NOT received my xrays from my ortho, and only had my molds. I had just seen my ortho a couple of weeks before seeing surgeon. I asked them if the...

Well, about 3 hours till my appointment and Im still jotting down questions. Hopefully I didnt leave anything off!! Im so glad this site exists. It makes me feel like I have a bunch of freinds who all understand what Im going thru, and are always there for me. Lately people here havent been so suppo...

thanks, you two, for your input. Im going to make sure all my questions are answered before I leave the office on Thursday. Then Ill take all that info and make the decision, I guess. And by the way, does everyone jot down their questions and actually show up with a list in hand? And is that accepta...

Hi all- I hope that I dont sound totally clueless, although thats what Im thinking I am right about now. What exactly would the phrase " Maxillary (and/or) mandibular arch length is deficient " mean? Thats whats written in a letter that was to be sent to the OS from my ortho. I know that m...

hahaha, its really quite funny to read about all the foods that are being "blenderized".
How creative we can be when we need to....

wow, thanks everyone for the input. Maybe Im jumping the gun, seeing as I have not even met with my surgeon. Im just going on my past history of weight gain and weight loss. I currently weigh about 115. I know when Im sick, such as with a cold or flu, and dont have an appetite, I tend to lose a few ...

Hi all- Just wondering if anyone has been on any type of "program" to try to gain weight before their surgeries? I know that might sound like a silly question, but I lose weight very easily( not a good thing) , but can barely gain weight at all. Thats a concern for me seeing as you cant ea...

you might check into those things called Comfort Covers. Havent ever tried them myself, but checkout the "Dental Do Dads " section on the main page, and maybe you can find out if those are what you are looking for.

Hi Sherria, Im 42 and finally got braces last year. I never had them as a teen, so Im excited. My teeth looked pretty bad to begin with, but I agree, they looked even more so once I got the braces on. I decided to have fun with them ,so I always get bright colored ligs. At first you think everyone n...

I hope I dont sound like a total fruit cake, but here goes.... Does anyone know if its possible for an "average joe" to buy ligs/ powerchains ? Im asking because lately when I go to the ortho, they are very limited on colors, and the last couple of times Ive had adjustments, ive had to hav...

Well, after exactly 5 months after getting my top braces on, I finally got my bottom braces on. For some reason I thought it would be a pretty easy, painless experience,since I had gotten used to the top ones and forgot what it felt like at first. I feel like Im starting all over again! I finally go...

After watching the show, I have to say, I was more focused on the rest of her appearance than her braces. They couldnt've made her more "schleppy" looking!!OMG!!! Her hair, her eyebrow (s) , etc. Were the braces supposed to be the clencher on her being "ugly"? I doubt Ill watch t...

Hi All, I moved about a month ago, and even though I knew that I would be moving the last time I saw my ortho, I told him I would like to keep coming to him. Well, since then , reality has set in, and I thinkI will need to find a new ortho closer to me.(It would be a 2 hour drive one way, and in the...
