Nothing exciting just updating

Ive got a good two weeks at least until the next adjustment. Ive been wearing my bands like an addict. Only time there out is when I'm eating or brushing my teeth. I'm finding I'm clenching my teeth when I sleep, or at least it feels that way when I wake up in the mornings. It actually feels odd to not have them in my mouth now! I can tell its working whatever its supposed to do, my bite seems a bit off. Im finding it harder to eat on the right side, nad dont seem to be chewing food as well. Im down a few lbs as of late, the foods I seem to like are bad for braces or just dont seem worth the hassle. Guess thats gotta be good right?

For the next adjustment Im supposed to have the mold for my rpe made, im getitng a tad nervous about all that. Im also job seeking, so what happens if I land a new job that doesnt cover all this surgery that I all ready have pre approved? Do I pass up an opportunity? Ugh life is grand isnt it? Ill update soon, really Im not Debbie downer, this whole braces thing is pretty much ok;-)

Just checking in

Im not sure why I even keep this log, no one even reads it...LOL..Guess im hoping to see changes myself. I see some but nothing earth shattering, it is pretty early into treatment though. Ive been wearing my elastics like clockwork, taking them out only to eat and brush my teeth. Im wondering how much time off I may need with this Sarp surgery, will I need someone at home with me when its done? I feel like a stalker on archwired, I was all freaked out when it went down again for a few days. Ive read that alot of people dont start elastics till a decent time in braces, wonder why Im in them so soon? I trust my ortho as he is "The best" I hear, I just wish I new more KWIM? I have not had much pain with my adjustment, not sure if thats good or not? At least when it hurt I knew it was becuase my teeth were moving. It could be I guess because I started right off the bat with coils and a bunch of nasty mean things, so when they just replace them it sill feels normal. I dunno.....Ill check back in soon~

First Adjustment and update

So on Thursday I had my first adjustment. I think I had some great improvements and alot of new space added, due to my lovely powechains and coils. The ortho doesnt talk alot to me, so im not sure if he was delighted but I was. I had my wire replaced, I think with the same size, some more coils added to the bottom and again another on my top left. Lastly I had some elastics added to my number three top and bottom and then from my right top numer three to my right bottom 3 and 4 . The Ortho thinks that at my next visit they will take my molding for the RPE device(fun fun). That usually takes about two weeks to come back. My outpatient surgery is tentatively set for May 28, 2009 at 0600 hrs. With the placement of the RPE on the wednesday before the surgery. I would like to tell you more about exactly is in my mouth but I just dont know? Ive included some pics so you can see my changes if possible, with and without elastics.
Thanks for looking~sephanie
