Time to Get Started!

Welcome to my orthodontic blog! I am jittery with excitement and anticipation for my jaw(s) surgery! I had a Orthodontic Surgeon (after this to be referred to as OS for short) appointment last Thursday... he took some pictures, gave me a ton of paper work, a packet telling about the post-op recovery, and some major news. Most of my life I figured that I would only need my bottom jaw fixed, yet Thursday I found out that I will have to get top and bottom jaw surgery. The OS said I have an open bite as well, and a cross bite! So now my surgery gained an hour in operation time, and an extra night in the hospital. I also found out that I have my bottom 2 wisdom teeth, and my top ones soon to arrive... Therefore during the surgery my OS will just go ahead and rip them out... might as well I suppose. :( After that appointment my OS sent me downstairs to a speech specialist. According to the specialist I have a lisp, but he said I was well "adapted". I also received the best present ever yesterday... braces. Uhhh... gross! (I will soon post some pictures and in-depth info on the never ending burden of braces ;D ) BUT if they will get me one step closer... I will try not to complain. :)
Lots of Love, Makay :]
