3rd Adjustment - 4th month
Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 8:04 am
Well had my 3rd adj yesterday -- wen't well, I guess! LOL
met with 2nd ortho regarding 'my decision time'......she said basically the same thing as the other ortho in the practice I've been seeing...
here's that story: viewtopic.php?t=18818
anyway - I still haven't come up with any decisions yet... that jaw surgery just seems sooo extreme to me......they sort of really don't recommend the extractions, cuz of the flat lip appearance....so I'm sort of stuck!! My original reason for this journey was to straighten up my front upper teeth -- well, that's just about done! LOL - but in doing that, my overbite is a little worse (5mm)....and it took me this many years to get where I am, I don't just want to 'give up' and not look 100%, however, at this stage, I'm not sure I want to go thru the pain/recovery of jaw surgery, or the possibily of extractions and not being happy with the end result....so maybe I should just 'do my time' in braces and hope that I'm happy enough with the end result! It's already 100% better to me than it was b4 braces![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I got new ligs yesterday and a '4 string' (I call it that) power chain across the front 4 teeth to close up a little gap I had....am feeling that this am.... will have to load up some pics later![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Thanks for listening!!!!
