hi all , well the call to my ortho was great , he has ordered the buttons, there round an should do better he thinks , he also told me that if i couldn't stand them to come in and the would be removed till the buttons come in , i'll try to keep whats in there till the others come in , because i don't want to lose any movement that has started, so guess i'll wax wax wax till my buttons come back, hgjoe
