I got my letter from my ortho today with all the info in it and I have to admit I was very excited! It is another step towards B-Day, and now I can get things organised with the Health Fund as I've got the quote in writing. Of course included was my very first bill and even that excites me!

Anyway, I have....
a relatively mild malocclusion resulting from malalignment of the anterior dentition
Sounds rather impressive, doesn't it? All those big words....
On a more serious side, it just goes to show how important it is for people who may be considering fixing their teeth to actually see an ortho... before my consult I had almost definately made up my mind that I wasn't going down the road of braces. I was very sly and didn't tell anyone about the consult, so no one knew that I was going to back out. I had in my mind that it was simply a case of crowding and would need extractions, and I was terrified of the idea. In fact, I have a completely different problem with my teeth and if I had never gone to the ortho I would have never known... so if you're just lurking and not sure, like I was for so long.... just do it! Knowledge is power

Anyway, it feels as though the days are just dragging by until it all starts... but it will be here before I know it.
Cheers!
