braces here i come

Hey yall!
Long time no post! figured i would take some time to fill everone in on my journey. ok here goes...
Yesterday i thought i was having an adjustment... but instead i just got more STUPUID SPACERS! these things are my enemy. I was told that i will be having bands put on my molars again next week. when i asked why i needed them the lady said so that after your jaw sergery, there will have something to wire your jaw shut! tell me that was not scary! so now today... i have "lost" 2 spacers already have to have them replaced on monday but at least i can have the weekend to myself! one of the spacers on the upper left seems to have been really irritating my gums, they are extremly swollen and i can barely see my tooth on the underside of the bracket! very painful indeed.
so while i was at my ortho, i took some time to ask why i did not feel any "pain" from my braces. i figured agfter the first few days in braces my teeth would feel very tight and lots of pressure on them to move which of course did not happen at all. (only problem i have had was those darn hooks!) and to my surprise the lady gave me the study molds that were taken the day of my consult and my teeth have really been movin!
so now all thats left to report is i have a consult for maxilliofacial surger on Aug 3 to discuss my jaw surgery! so after that i should have loads more to report.
(one more thing totally off topic but its really driving me crazy is that the Harry Potter movie was terrible! im a hugh fan and i was very dissappointed to say the least!) SORRY FOR BEING OFF TOPIC BUT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW!

CHEERS AND I CHECK BACK AFTER MY CONSULT!

Hey everyone!! lots to talk about today! i even have a picture! ok so as you all know i absolutly hated being in spacers! well 2 weeks ago i was put in spacers again! lol only this time my gums were so swollen they actually pushed the spacers out! well after a little bit of healing i had my second molar bands put on and now all is well. last friday (8-3) i went for my jaw surgery consultation and i must say it was not what i wanted to hear!
Ok so apparently by ortho is pushing my teeth forward at an angle so they have more room to spread out. The surgeon said that with my teeth at this angle there is no where for him to more the jaw forward too, he cannont justify having surgery to move my jaw 1 mm
His recommendations where to make a problem to solve a problem. so basicaly he recommends i have 2 teeth removed to put my teeth in line WITHOUT them being pushed forward so that he can move my jaw forward a lot more, putting my profile in line!
So while im having this mandibular advancement surgery, the Dr. is also going to make some adjustments to my chin! im so excited this is what i have always wanted, its just a little depressing that i have to take a step backwards and remove teeth before i can have this surgery. BUT, it all good right?
well here is my 12 week updated pic for ya! moving right along i think!
