You're not backwards at all! I saw my surgeon for a wisdom tooth removal - she offered me the treatment and sent me to see my ortho that works alongside her. I saw my surgeon in Jan 08 to see if I wanted to proceed with the treatment again April 08 for my other 3 wisdom teeth to be removed. Then not...

Thank you Karl - I know it's early days and as my surgeon keeps telling me! I'll read your blog

I had veggie chilli and rice tonight and using very small fork-fulls I ate a small portion. That definat...

Hello all, Well just when i needed the site pre/post op it was down! I'm now just over 3 wks post op after having BSSO and Le Fort on 9th Jan. Recovery has gone well really and I was up and about out of hospital after day 2. The worst part for me was the splint and it was gratefully removed on day 6...

Hello all, I have a surgery date of the 9th Jan - I will have been in braces 11 months by then. I have actually enjoyed and seen some amazing changes since having my braces and this stage has been 100 million % worth it... I'm now quite anxious about the surgery - Le Fort poss 3mm and BSSO 6mm ish (...

Welcome Becky! I'm also having treatment with Gavin and Caroline and have got a surgery date of 9th Jan (Le Fort and BSSO). It's been great having Kerry to follow up our progress together and annoy Gavin with!! I live in Egham now but grew up in Windsor where my parents still live - small world! Any...

For wisdom tooth removal I was an out patient.

Well hopefully you'll go ahead just after your trip and have the winter months to recover! I've been pushing him a bit as I'm a freelancer - (no work no pay! :( ) and I've got 6-7 weeks with no contracts in Oct/Nov so was hoping it would fall then - if Caroline isn't happy and it doesn't then so be ...

You're my motivation!! - I'm having the same procedure as you've just been through in 3/4 ish months time. Having seen your smile and seeing me in you I'm eagerly awaiting your progress shots!

Yep - I had my final three wisdom teeth out exactly three weeks ago today. This is in preparation for my jaw surgery and I've been wearing my braces for 10 wks!

Hi Kerry, Sounds like your making great progress.... I went for my 1st Adjustment on Thursday morning - he changed the top and bottom wires for stronger wires - and they really ache! He was pleased that we were on to stronger wires already. He tied in 3 of the teeth with a wire rather than a band fo...

Good luck Kerry - will be thinking about you! x
