Today, I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. Part of me was a little nervous because things are still a little sensitive but, the other part of me couldn't wait to have a good cleaning. So, off I went to the Ortho's office to have my wire and power chain removed. My Ortho's office was actually closed today because he is opening another office. One of the girls stayed on to do a few things at my office so it was going to work out well for me today... or so I thought. After I got there, she told me she was having childcare issues and wouldn't be able to put my wire back in today. UGH!!!! So I have to go back tomorrow morning at 7:15. My teeth are already screaming they want the wire back on!!!! It really hurts without it, more than I thought it would.
The cleaning went well. It was a new girl, very quiet. I think I made her a little nervous. She kept asking if I was okay. She asked if it was okay for me to open up my mouth for that long. I guess the best part of the day though was that she said I was doing a good job.
While I was at the Orthos office today, I asked if I could have a copy of my before pictures. She said she would have them ready for me at my next appt. on Oct. 16, so I'll make sure to post those then.
Does anyone have any trouble with sore lips. My lips feel like they are always incredibly chapped and burning. I asked at my appt. today and she said it is probably because I am a mouth breather and my lips get very dry. I do use alot of chapstick but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Any ideas???
My husband and a group of our friends that I don't see often went to go see the Patriots game last night. We tailgated beforehand and I barely ate anything. I just feel like I must look quite ridiculous when I eat. This expander takes any enjoyment out of eating and I also feel like since my surgery, that chewing is just weird. It's hard for me to explain but, it's just not right.
I always put my hand in front of my mouth when I chew too.
Okay, Okay, enough whining for now. I hope my Ortho. buddies are all doing well.

Sounds like we both had a great day...your all clean and I'm all chained. Well, check out my update. I will look forward to seeing your before pictures..chow for now!
Olah! Doing good over here and what a nightmare to not have your wire in! I had my teeth cleaned in June - I think - and the entire time the wire was out my mouth was in pain. I hope your able to sleep tonight like that!
I have the chap lips syndrome too. I thought it was from not drinking enough water but here I am drinking 6-8 glasses a day and still with the chapped lips! I have no idea whats going on. I can't wait to check out your pics. Tata!
Yeah, a great day except for your Pats making my Chargers look like a JV team. :)
