Wow, time flies! This week marks ONE YEAR since jaw surgery. I went to the orthodontist and he is moving my teeth all kinds of ways. After surgery I had a relapse in my upper left jaw causing a cross-bite and an under-bite. My orthodontist is working on the under-bite now. He is moving my teeth in ways that make them look like the hillbilly teeth you find in a dollar store. It is not a pretty site, to say the least. I have a big space on the left top and a very short front tooth. They said it would be awhile before they could close the space, so "gappy" I am. I am posting a profile shot tonight. That is something I would have never done before surgery. LOL. I am happy with the results and I am glad I went through with the surgery. All is well. : )
You look GORGEOUS! :) I am sorry you are having to go through such a big shift with your braces, but when you get them off and you teeth are perfectly straight it will be worth it! :)

Rita, you're looking so great! Are the TAD's still in? And how are they? Any guesses on when you'll be out of the braces?
ReplyDeleteHey Meredith,
ReplyDeleteYes I still have the TAD's and I have no idea about the braces. I am scared to ask again. haha The last time I ask, he said, "hmmmm not sure, may be awhile." I guess that means another year. I will be glad when they are gone. Thanks for asking!
Hey Makay,
Nice to meet you. I love your blog! I decorated mine after seeing yours! LOL Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate it!
Hope you both are doing well. Thanks for stopping by! : )
Hi Rita,
ReplyDeleteI just had a double jaw surgery like you 9 days ago.
You had a relapse? Could you enlighten me on how that happened? I am terrified of getting a relapse.
If I get a relapse and I need to get more surgery to fix my jaws, that would devastate me.
Anyway, congrats on a successful surgery!
