This is me pre braces initial consultation at JU (2/19/2009) I think I really started the full treatment in May-June because of the file-bit in my root canal issue.
These were taken 3-4 weeks before surgery.
And this is yesterday, 4 weeks post-op.
I will still tell you I am very, very happy with all of it. For a lot people who don't understand and have always had straight teeth that touch in the back, you are lucky. But I know have it and cannot wait to bite into a pizza and chew it up.
There are issues still: I have no feeling on my chin, however I think my lip is awaking. I feel like there are fireworks on my chin (or strange sensation of shingles, yes - I have had them and know how they feel). However, I seem to biting my lip with the side teeth and not knowing until I feel something tug strangely. My left side has been hurting the last 2 days, but I think and I hope it is because of use. I am starting to eat a little more solid...such as beans, mac and cheese. But the down side is the 10 plus minutes I have to sit in the bathroom trying to get all those darn little pieces out. Rice pieces are a pain!!!
Love you all, and I cannot wait to go out and enjoy a normal meal with my friends.
P.S. put on a pound or 2 this weekend. But broke down and bought a size 4 jeans (last time I was in that size I was mal-nourished and just divorced.)
