Sorry that I have been absent from the
blogging scene for a while. I thought it was probably about time I
updated you all on what has been happening. So I got my braces off
just before Christmas which was the best Christmas present I could
ask for. I was so excited even more than I was when I got my first
set of braces off. I now have to wear a plate for a little while
until I can get my implants and my dental bridge put in; otherwise I
would look like a redneck with missing teeth. Sorry I should explain
that more. My plate has two false teeth on it that fill in the gaps
where I'm missing teeth.
I go back to see my surgeon on the 8th
February and that is when we will start planning the next step to
getting my implants put in. I'm so excited to get my implant and
bridge put in because I wont have to wear a plate anymore. Even
though I love that my orthodontist puts in so much effort into making
my false teeth look so real; wearing a plate means my speech is
altered a little bit. Honestly though I have had to deal with worst
things so it's really nothing to complain about at all.
I have also been using a whitening kit
at the moment. Ever since I started all my orthodontic work its
something I have always wanted to do. I was so incredibly happy when
I got it. It finally hit home that all the major work and
appointments and all the fuss with seeing doctors and stuff is
finally coming to an end. Its not over yet but the road is coming to
an end. Its so nice to have people compliment on how great my teeth
look. I was always conscience of how my teeth looked but now I just
want to show them off all the time haha.
I am so glad that I had jaw surgery
done but if you asked me to do it again I would most likely say no.
Its not that it was terribly painful it was just a horrible feeling.
With your face being swollen for so long, not being able to eat
proper food and just sitting around doing nothing during the recovery
period it drove me crazy. Although I have realised that your body
quickly forgets pain as it now feels like forever since I had it
done.
Anyway just a quick update to show you
all how it's all gone post surgery and because everyone loves to see
photos here is a photo I put together of before and after surgery.
