On Tuesday I went for my bite adjustment. LF didn't adjust too much of my bite, but it's a little better now. She did also redo a filling on my lower right, that tooth is still bothering me. See, this is why I hate getting work done, I always feel like I opened pandoras box. She did mention that the Endodontist had sent a letter to her and Dr. F regarding the tooth that had just had the root canal - the braces are moving the tooth closer to the cleft, part of why the tooth is taking so long to heal.
On a slightly different topic...
I am part of a large medical study and as part of it I get a physical every year, today was my physical. The PA who was conducting the physical went through all of my medical problems and tried to find a solution for all of them, some might have been good but she wasn't really listening to my symptoms first so she ended up just being annoying. For example, she was recommending to me this nasal rinse. I asked her if she knew if I would have any trouble with it because of my cleft lip and palate. I don't think she actually knew what a cleft lip and palate was because she said that it doesn't go in the throat, huh? I just dropped it. Then she was doing an examination of my nose and discovered that my left nostril was small, it blew her mind! She asked if I could get that fixed. I then had to explain that if I do all of this dental stuff, then I can go for an consultation to see if it can be repaired, but pointed out that I had lived for 30 or so years like this. Am I supposed to take this woman seriously?
My journey to reconstruct my mouth. I was born with a Cleft Lip and Palate and with the changes in technology I decided it was time to try to improve the structure of my mouth.

I bite, but it hurts
This past week I realized that both of the teeth that had formerly been capped, but then separated for my braces, hit the teeth below them and not in a good way. Their position before never allowed them to hit the teeth below them, but the braces have moved them into a position where they are not hitting and combined with the braces are in pain. The pain has subsided a bit in the last day, but I will be going to see LF on Tuesday to get the bit adjusted.
