Orthodontics

Posted 02-20-2008 at 09:28 AM by vegasandbecca
I had my first orthodonist appointment yesterday and my teeth are apparently kind of messed up. My bite is nowhere near where it needs to be, some crowding due to wisdom teeth, etc... I have been scheduled to have all of my wisdom teeth removed and two others pulled all in one visit. Sounds painful!!! They put spacers on me to make room for a habit reminder for my habit of thrusting my tongue on my front teeth. So my teeth are kind of sore right now and it seems to have given me a headache. Oh well, I am scheduled to have my braces and everything put on April 2, 2008 and they will remain there for an estimated 2 years. I sure hope it is worth all of this in the end, and hopefull it's not too painful!!!

Well hopefully the suffering is worth it in the end.
I had 8 teeth pulled in one go, it was a mixture of retained baby teeth and some adult teeth, my advice? Eat as much red meat as you can before the surgery because you are going to miss it for a while afterwards!
I ate applesauce and jello for like 2 weeks.
Also take a painkiller as soon as you get home no matter how good you feel...and keep taking them or you will feel like you got hit in the face with a hockey puck.

Thanks, I am such a wimp when it comes to pain so I know I will be taking painkillers for sure.
