I went to the orthodontists yesterday. When I saw them in march I had gotten very disappointed. I was so confident that everything was proceeding according to schedule, which wasn't the case. The molds they had taken showed that my palate needed to be widend and they had to reposition my upper and lower teeth. The technician said that I might be ready for operation in september after the summer holidays. I litterally dropped my jaw and couldn't hide my disappointment. Initially they had said 1 year with braces, then operation followed by 6 months with braces. Mentally I wasn't prepared for 4 months extra. 4 months extra with this metal stuck in my mouth. It's getting increasingly worse to chew and eat, and I am starting to loose weight. Wonder what I will look like before the operation.
This time I didn't have my hopes up. It wasn't too hard. They just had to make minor adjustments to the braces. At the end of my visit they said that they would try to book a surgery date in august. So august it is.

Hang in there. It will be here before you know it. You do want everything right before surgery. Thanks for responding on my blog. It is always nice to meet someone new. Keep eating well balanced meals and it is okay to have soft foods. Right now I have fresh juice, a blended potato with milk and cheese, a protein drink and 2 milk shakes a day. I am doing okay so far. Although I am ready for a cheeseburger. : )
SvarSletThanks for your comments. You are right, I do want everything to be 100 % in order before the surgery. So I have to be patient.
SvarSletI can relate to the cheeseburger issue. :-)
