JAW SURGERY UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time I had an update was when we got the approval for the headscan.


Heres an update on the update!!!!!!!


I just got my headscan done this morning at ten am and saw the X-ray of my skull and my orthodontist did the impressions on my teeth, for those of you who have never gone through impressions, let me explain what they do.
 Let me tell you something about headscans, for me, I have to take my hearing aids off so they don't show in the X-ray,it is the weirdest yet most normal thing for me to literally be told to go sit down and have this machine scan my head and not be able to hear anything or be able to hear just a little. be glad you "normal" people have ears.

So the orthodontist takes this thing that goes inside your mouth and onto of your teeth and puts it in your mouth to determine what size you need, in my case I always need the smallest size possible because my jaw is small. Then they take this goopy puddy and put it inside the contraption and then they put the thing with the puddy inside your mouth and smash it against your teeth so they can get an imprint of your teeth. The only thing is the puddy smells and if your tongue accidentally touches it, tastes like medicine and goop, kind of like play doh once you get the curiosity and try to eat it. its gross and I had to get four imprints done, so thats four rounds of really gross goop and I had to rinse my mouth out almost every time after they did it. Eww!

The surgery date is still estimated at October 29th,so thats about a month, I think though, we may end up either pushing it further into the beginning of November, or pushing it back closer to middle of October,we will see though.

Then they put a new set of rubber band on me, I got purple. They also had to give me a new bracket for one of my teeth because last week I was drinking a bottle of pepsi and was kind of maybe biting on the bottle and it slipped and knocked the bracket loose, but I didn't tell my orthodontist what I was drinking.

Lesson learned,never bite the top of any bottle while wearing braces! At least I had a name tooth for a few minutes while they did the impressions.
