First Trip to the Orthodontist

Wednesday I went to see Dr. F for the first time since the surgery.  He seemed happy with how things looked.  He also put 2 of my 3 teeth back in my mouth.  I'm sure my sister will be very happy (she was concerned after my surgery).

One of the two teeth that is being moved with the bone has moved backward in my mouth a bit.  This happened over time since my tooth was pulled back in June.  Dr. F didn't bother putting the tooth on the wire, I'm assuming since it has a different bracket on it and I was having surgery 2 weeks later.  I'm not sure why he didn't try to move the tooth sooner, but he didn't.  So now it was wired to the screw in my mouth to pull it back in to place.  I think it might have been easier doing it sooner then later.  But what do I know?

Surgery #4

This is just a quick post since I'm getting really tired, but since I haven't posted since the surgery I thought i should come up with something.

Surgery was Thursday and from what I remember, Dr. D said it went well.  I also saw Dr. S - he said he saw the photos and it looked good.

Now I'm just eating mushy food and waiting to see Dr. D on either Thursday or Friday and start moving this bone.

The pain isn't too bad, and the swelling is starting to go down.  But I have a screw sticking out of my mouth, that's a little weird.  It also makes swallowing a little awkward.  Lets just say that I'm working on my drooling problem.
