well its 4 months till my big op (nov 20th)
My wisdoms werent too bad to get out, i would reccomend getting the IV injection rather than a local or the full anestetic. i took a week off work to recover, this may sound silly but i needed it as ive a physical job ( decorator) .
My braces were tighetened today and the wire replaced with a thicker one, this really hurt if im being honest! ive no extra bands on the top, only the bottom which are straightening out nicely since the removal of 2 teeth in nov.
Ive had more xrays to check the roots of my teeth are sufficent to keep the braces on for a few months after the op!
to be honest i dont see much difference with my top teeth. Id rather get the op now so the braces are less noticeable. I think the next few months are going to drag. all this waiting and discomfort when the braces are tightened!
Its important to keep busy and get out there with friends and family. Having braces in you late 20s can be very uncomfortable and bring you down abit. but at the end of the day this is what you want and in the long run you will be happier.
My weight gain is steady, im 8stone now. thats 9lbs more than this time last year. Id like to get up to 8.5stone by November as i know ill loose weight after the op!
please get in touch if you have any questions or you too have had or are having this op :)
