Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:54 am
Had my first appointment with ortho at local nhs hospital. She had a look and said I have a 9mm overjet. Also sent me for xrays. She has now made an appointment for me at another hospital to meet a surgeon and ortho, that is in june so another wait again 
She said I probably will have to have some teeth taken out on the bottom because it is crowded and probably have to have my wisdom teeth taken out, on the xray it had shown they had grown sideways because my jaw was too small. She does not know if she will be treating me or the ortho at the other hospital, I will have to wait til the appointment when the ortho and surgeon decide on what is going to happen. So 14 weeks to go, I cant wait
