My Journey to Surgery Begins

Well its official 15 months for surgery and i gotta say the journey to surgery begins. I met with my new orthodontist over the week and we talked about jaw surgery and what to expect and they also showed me how they will "wire" my mouth shut and its not what people think its actually where they use a bunch of rubber bands and they will use those to "wire" my mouth shut. They did a cool 3D x - ray on my mouth so we were able to see my mouth better and i got to see my skull which was interesting and cool. They were worried about my two top front teeth cause they couldn't see the roots very well so that's what the 3D one was for but now he's not so worried about it cause they look good i guess he was afraid that if they put braces on that it would do something to the teeth and roots if my roots weren't that good. They also took a bunch of pictures of me and my mouth and you look at my face and can't really tell if somethings wrong. I didn't know that if your missing more teeth on one side than the other side of the mouth your mouth actually shifts more which is weird i didn't know that till my mom pointed out that to the orthodontist that she noticed that my jaw has shifted which was true my jaw has shifted. The nice thing is they work with the oral surgeon i have so they were nice enough to notify and let him know that i had a consultation visit with the orthodontist and i'm also getting braces this Wednesday and the orthodontist wants a tooth extracted so i'm gonna have some fun this next week. They also gave me a copy of stuff to have and i just need to give my oral surgeon the disc with the 3D x - ray on it and they also gave me a cookie for being a new patient so i think i like them already. They were more nicer with me I honestly don't remember my last orthodontist being this nice to me as to where this orthodontist was opening up about what were going to be doing with my mouth unlike my last orthodontist i don't think he wanted to really say what was going on with my mouth but this one i have now was way more open and honest to me of how my bite is and how its going to be the next months before i get to be in surgery. Not only do i have a really bad under bite but i have a cross bite too that was new to me having a cross bite. He said his job is going to be messing up my under bite more and making it worse and i'm glad he told me that he was going to be doing that he told my mom he wanted to warn us cause he didn't want me coming back in complaining about more pain and not knowing that he was making it worse if he didn't tell me that he was going to do that so that's an honest orthodontist. He couldn't feel TMJ in my joints so there was no sign of TMJ during my appointment which was good. For now we are going to get the spaces to close in my mouth and i have a gap between two back teeth and its a pretty good sized gap so if we can't get it to close we might have to look into a dental implant. I know this is going to be a long process i'm not excited for braces again but i'm happy that this will finally be taken care of and i'll get braces off 8 months after surgery and i'll be able to get a retainer and wear it after the braces come off and even though we know my top jaw is getting moved forward my orthodontist told me to keep an open mind about double jaw surgery cause it may happen. We will just have to wait to see what my oral surgeon wants to do.
