Orthodontic Update July 2008

I went in for my first braces-tightening today. My teeth are a bit sore! Dr. Olsen checked out the Hyrax and said that it gets to come out next time!!! Yes! I hate that thing.

My next appointment is August 27th. I will be getting the Hyrax out, but a bar will be going across the top of my mouth in it's place. I'm not really excited about that, but at least I'll be rid of the Hyrax. I will also be getting braces on my top teeth at that appointment! We're moving right along. :)

Any word on surgery yet? Will you need it? And will the bar be permanent?

Nothing new on surgery. I think it will be quite a few months before anything is decided for sure.

The bar is temporary (as temporary as the braces, at least!). I will probably have some sort of a permanent retainer, but not the same thing that will be going in next month. :)

One step closer to babies, Beck!

Well, it's good that it's not permanent, anyway... still crossing my fingers about the surgery!
