Making Progress

Making progress! it"s crazy how fast things can change in a month. I've been back on my normal food diet since April 1st and it feels nice to chew on food and open my mouth wide again. I was able to eat a hamburger without a problem this time. The knot in my jaw is all gone and all the pressure is gone. I hope to not land on the soft food diet again till surgery happens hopefully it will stay that way. I'm all done with the dentist I finished my treatment plan last Tuesday so my teeth are healthy again and look brand new so i have somewhat confidence in my smile again still not all the confidence. Now here comes the part where its just up to my new orthodontist and oral surgeon in this mess to fix my jaw. I picked a good orthodontist one that got 5 star rating and over 70 reviews so i got myself a good orthodontist hopefully he will be a lot better than my old orthodontist. The way i talk about my old orthodontist makes it sound like i'm mad at him which i am cause i honestly thought when he told me five years ago " your going to need braces again" after he took them off here i am five years later getting them back on I don't know if this is what he was hinting at i guess i will never know the answer to that. But oh well i'm getting it fixed so it will be all taken care of. I'm not sure about a tooth guard anymore i guess after this jaw surgery if i really need one i'll have my oral surgeon make me one like he wanted to but its just so dang expensive yes i know it would be worth it to have it but hopefully after surgery i wont have to deal with TMJ anymore even though were fixing the jaw and under bite and maybe i won't have TMJ as bad as i do now even though i don't complain of pain cause it doesn't hurt but it still makes me feel so sick I feel so nauseated even though no throw up and i'm just tired and miserable its weird how TMJ can make me feel this way like I honestly haven't slept good at all either. I can't wait to meet with the orthodontist but for the braces not so much i'm not to thrilled to have them on at all. but hopefully everything goes the way we want it to go and i'll be able to have my smile back and my confidence back in my smile again. :)
