My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery: February 2013
http://myawfulopenbite.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. March 12th my braces will be coming off! I am so excited that I already scheduled a cleaning and whitening for the very next day :). I also don't have to wear that palate retainer anymore, which is good and bad. The feeling is still working itself back to the roof of my mouth and when food touches that area it's just plain weird. The retainer helped to avoid that weirdness, but I am ready to try life without it. 3 Years Post Double ...

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Thursday, October 11, 2012. 10 weeks post op. I'm sorry for the lack of blogging lately its been a crazy couple of weeks. So where did I leave off? So it's been two weeks and the mucous seems to be less, but today I woke up with a sore jaw and the left sinus area is still sore to the touch. So I don't know. I had to change my follow up appt to next Friday. Trying to not worry about it too much. They are über sensitive right now. Cold breezes or laughing s...

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Thursday, May 31, 2012. The gap is on. Not too much surgery news to report this week. I have an appointment with my surgeon next Friday for another x-ray (i have had more x-rays in the last year than i care to comment on! And I hope to get info about when surgery will be. My front teeth have been moving and a I do have an official gap, so i'm thinking that may get the ball rolling! They can't expect me to have a huge gap for months, right? Friday, May 25, 2012.

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Friday, January 4, 2013. At my last surgeon appt in December ( I've seen him almost every 3 weeks since surgery because of all of this) they finally said I should see an ENT to try and resolve some of this. But they told me to wait 5 months to continue to let the sinus membranes heal. Well I had already had an ENT appt scheduled for the next week and just went ahead with the appt. I know! Hang in there everyone! This is the journey that never ends! Subscribe ...

Baby Elephant Dance: December 2012
http://babyelephantdance.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A record of my journey through surgical palate expansion; braces; and almost definitely double jaw surgery. Thursday, 20 December 2012. Busier than a Blue-arsed Fly. On Dec 5 I went for my second braces adjustment, and I had a pretty great day! My Orthodontist group travel down to another town once a month - and it just happens to be half way between their usual office, and my home town - YAY! Canine on my right (your left) is now behaving nicely. The offending canines before treatment. I was SO EXCITED!

My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery: July 2012
http://myawfulopenbite.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
My Awful Open Bite - The Road to Jaw Surgery. Monday, July 30, 2012. Today I had my appt with my surgeons. They were very happy how everything looked. I have another appt next Monday and I may have the splint removed! Nothing guaranteed, of course, but I am optimistic. I also had X-rays taken and it's crazy to see the changes from a week ago. That's all I can say. Rinsing with mouthwash helps but not that much. One more fun stage of recovery! Still can't believe it's almost been a week. Day 5 - so tired.
