Let's see if my two cents are worth anything........

20- Self ligating brackets
12- Of which have hooks
4- Molar bands w/Buccal Tubes and hooks
Now the fun stuff.......
1- Upper high pull headgear
1- Lower cervical headgear
2- very tall Molar build ups

Coming Soon to a mouth near me.........

I had an emergency appointment yesterday........ Ortho wasn't very happy. Apparently i'm a thruster......so at my next appt. I get a habit crib.
And if my bite isn't better by my 6 month marker, i'll be getting a herbst too!

I will also tell just for this contest...... i have to 3 inch plates on the middle of each side of my lower jaw, and 3 tie wires in the roof of my mouth that have been there for over ten years. The plates are from a motorcycle accident, and the 3 tie wires are from getting stabbed with a knife in the face......it went in at my right nostril and came out in the roof of my mouth.

Does this get me in the runnings for the contest?

Ohh yeah, might I add too.......... both the headgear are worn for 16 hours a day.........Thank God I work for myself.

I think you must win this Mott, especially if you get the tongue crib to add to your existing hardware.

Lisa,

When he told me about the crib and the herbst, I about freaked out. How can I get any more sesame (pardon my language) in my mouth. I already can't close my mouth with both headgear in......for 16 hours a day. And yes, my mouth stays extremely dry...lots of Burt's Bee's Lip Balm.

I have let my bite get out of hand and I guess if I can help my TMJ/TMD problems without going under the knife again, then I will just accept it and go with the flow.

Motts, after hearing what you have to contend with, I will never feel hard done by again

If there was a real prize for this, I'd come and present you with it personally. I take my hat off to you.

no wait, I'm eating a box of carpet tacks as I type and am about to fire a staple gun in my...just kidding, you win...congratulations. But I wear my headgear in public, so I'm geekier, yeh, right. whatever.

Having originated this thread etc etc etc I reckon it's time to put us all out of our "tin-grin, cheese-grater, guns 'n roses, tinsel teeth, call us what u like, i might have braces but you're ugly and i'll have straight teeth" seasonal suspense.

Having listened to our expert panel of judges, there seems to be general agreement that the winner of the inaugeral IGMMIMMTY competition is ............................drum roll................................................drum roll..........Mottsrods

A very Happy Festive Season to you and all that support you.

Ya know guys and gals,

I didn't want to win this.......It is just that I have been doing stupid human tricks way too long.......Us southern boys........i'm not a redneck......i'm a country boy......we are kinda bred just plain dumb..........

As far as winning, Parr and Lisa and everyone else who has headgear, and oh yeah, SallyMonster too should be right there with me.......I will not wear mine out in public. Not gonna happen. And if I did, I would set off some space sattelite alerting of a threat and get a nuke shot at me.

I will continue to hide during this phase of treatment and hopefully it will be over soon. VERY SOON...... I don't know what I'll do with a crib and a herbst. My mouth is full enough as it is. Maybe I'll get a feeding tube!!!LMAO!!!!!

I guess a thank you is in order to everyone........

Take a bow, Mott

#42 Post by **mottsrods** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 6:50 am

I know a man is supposed to bow, but I think I'll just not right now.......I tend to slam my headgear into things right now......chairbacks, knees, counter tops, dishwasher doors......and such......... Yes, you can all laugh right now.................................................................................................................................................now stop.....it isn't funny anymore.

Well, I do like to think of myself as capable when it comes to comuters...

You can curtsey if it's easier Mott

#45 Post by **mottsrods** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:06 am

Welllll,
Lisa.........you are so funny.........if it wasn't 9am in the morning, I would hold up a beer or glass of wine and say cheers. But no curtsey..........................Plus, i'd smash the glass into headgear.........see everything sucks with all of this.........I wonder how wine is in a feeding tube? LMAO!!!!! But then I would miss the taste, god I love the taste.
