Maryaten,
Yes think i got a short straw, with my teeth. Lol. Yes they are planning implants and there has been talk of possible bridges. But implants seem to be the favourite at the moment.
Am waiting for next appointment letter to come through to have joint clinic with Ortho and ortho surgeon.
Will let you know the outcome when i have had it. but it probably wont be for a few weeks.

thanks x

You can see on my signiture what i have had done so far, i have had braces for 9 months nearly and still closing gaps where my premolars where removed. For me i think i wont be ready for surgery untill march time, i was hoping sooner but i doubt it lol

Kerry,
Yes i am currently between Heatherwood and Wexham but most likely shall end up at Wexham.
I can see you have had quite a bit of work done, I am glad all is going well. You saying that march is a bit later than you thought but i am sure it will come round sooner than you think.
Keep in touch, you never know we may bump into each other up at wexham.
I must ay is great being able to speak to others going or had the same thing as i shall be going. Had no idea ths website existed until my Ortho told me. Glad he did i must say.

not sure what happened there i didnt post that message three times lol

#11 Post by **Becky** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:04 pm

Yes one would be with Mr Powers,
Guess he must be, made a big difference to my decision of going ahead with surgerry. It is so true no one does really know what to say.

I have just had my next appointment come through for a joint clinic so i can meet the Ortho surgeon i believe. Bit nervous but hey ho who would nt be. lol
I am from Windsor but am temporarily living near Gatwick airport ( as i work there) But am commuting to Hospital. Oh and im 20. Lol How about you?

March will Fly round i am sure. My god when i think where this year has gone. I am sure it won't be long until March for you. My fingers are crossed.

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!

Anyway hope we can help you with any queries - have you got braces on and started treatment yet?

im not sure who my surgeon will be yet but i think it would be caroline mills shes really lovely, when i first went for braces i was given so many optins and one of them was surgery for the perfect result and she actually came to se me at a private practice which was really good of her.

i have my next apointment on the 21st november then another one on the 19th december.

oh im 23 by the way not much older that yourself.
