Anyway, I went to my orthodontist a few days ago and it sounds like there's still quite a bit of work to do.....:(
I overheard him mention something about a crossbite?? Ugh
They put a tie on to fix the gap between two teeth on the right upper side of my mouth, and they have to adjust my midline a bit more ((I did notice that my bottom teeth are a little off and a little..slanted? I guess)) I have to wear elastics now too, which suckkkssssas so muchhhhhhh. It's only been a fewdays but my teeth STILL hurt after the tightening and the elastics make the pain even worse...so hopefully it ether goes away or I get really used to it.
I'm still taking that Gabepentin stuff for my numbness. I don't think there's been much of a change yet, because I feel like any slight changes I do notice might be psychological rather than actual changes..he did say it would be a slow process, though, so hope is not lost!!
It's amazing how much work there still is to do after surgery.... I feel like a lot of people ((or maybe it's just me idk)) just think oh surgery and then perfect teeth yay ! NOT THE CASE APPARENTLY.
I can't wait for the year mark and beyond. Dr Barr says the swelling is all down by now, but my face would still change and the bones and facial structure start to smooth out so I'm anxious to see the true 'finished product'!!!
Anyway, I guess I'll just leave y'all with some pictures of my glorious, issue plagued face!!
Have a happy Friday the 13th!!
