The Cool Kid

Its official...

My face is soooooooo crooked now that i now spit and sometimes even lisp a little when i talk. Yep....and I don't have another Ortho appointment until July 8th.

On the bright side, I do have a new party trick. "hey guys, watch this! I cant bite my teeth together and stick my tongue out the side!! Cool right?!"

187 MDK My Face

Wow....so I suppose my orthodontist decided it would be good to take the aggressive route. She DOES have new molds...so she would know where I currently am, and where I need to be...I dunno though...

So I went in for a fun filled adjustment, which I now call the "oil change" at work since they are so few and far between, and she took out my wires and I had to sit there. There was some code B5...C6...A10...no its not battleship its my face....that the hygienist needed information about. So I happened to peer down at the wires that were about to be put in. BAD IDEA!! BAD IDEA!! First, it was a solid 1/4 of an inch wider than my last one, as in wider than my current bite...and it didn't give...not a smidgen. I know this for 2 reasons, the hygienist showed me, and well lets just say it took some crafty hand work and a pair of industrial pliers/a vice to get it in there and tie it all in....Lordy....my face hurts so much, I am hungry for REAL food, and my face is so much more crooked than it ever has been. But it's SUPPOSED to get worse before it gets better right?! RIGHT?!?!?!

Anyways, i was informed that i get more molds done at the next "oil change"...so that makes this uber aggressive approach a liiiiiiiiiittle more tolerable.

I will keep you posted.
