As noted prior, Dr. Simon wanted me in this morning to make some adjustments and create more space for the surgery. I wasn't sure what that meant, but just as I had suspected she placed some springs on both sides of my upper teeth, between my canines and incisors. She said my front teeth needed to be "flared" out more, to give my bottom jaw room to slide forward the 6+mm that it needed to move. As it is now, my bottom teeth would crash into my top teeth and not go as far as it should.
She feels as if we have enough time to make the change, but I'm a little worried. She made the comment, "I think this is what Dr. Tiwana would want us to do, but I don't know, he may decide we need to give it another month or so for more space."
Another month?!
NO!!!!
I am stream rolling down this path and I don't want to get off now! I have prepared mentally, physically, have my pantry stocked with Ensures and soups and have even cooked ahead and have frozen meals for my family to heat and eat while I'm recovering.
I need this to happen the first week in October as scheduled.
Please say a prayer that it continues as planned.
I am FINALLY meeting with Dr. T this Friday to have a chat and have him let me know if he feels I need upper and lower, or just the lower surgery done. I have been waiting for this appointment for what seems an eternity. I have my list of questions ready and I hope he has the answers I have been desperately seeking.
To be continued.......
