I was just told to have them out once I had the braces on. They didnt put brackets on them and surprisingly they came out fine with the braces, although all the blood does stain the elastics to a degree. <br />Do you know when you are scheduled to have jaw surgery?<br />So just the upper jaw? I have to have both because of the underbite thats now formed. <br />I look forward to your posts :) <br />Thanks for following my blog tooIncognita https://www.blogger.com/profile/10094613755561267960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328682455236712965.post-29602504908611974632011-11-04T20:15:59.386-07:002011-11-04T20:15:59.386-07:00@Max and Terra: Thank you both for checking out m...@Max and Terra: Thank you both for checking out my page!<br /><br />@Max: I just read over your page and I think we have the same feelings regarding these blogs and how long this process really is. I'm glad to hear how far along in the process you are though. It's already awesome to know you have a set date for the surgery! Thats exciting in itself. I'll be keeping a close eye on your progress from here on.<br /><br />@Terra: I think it makes sense that the other molars would touch after removing the wisdom teeth. I think thats why he doesnt want to take them out yet because this way I'll just continue to grind on the teeth im gonna take out anyway haha. I wonder if they are going to put the braces on me first too. Did they just leave them off of your wisdom teeth then? I saw the video when you mentioned that about your jaw moving. I guess its something they will fix with the surgery. I've been following your blog closely ever since I started searching online for similar cases and yours is definitely most similar to mine. Open bite, smile bigger on one side, jaw pain, and now (according to my sisters and mom) a lisp :( I'm sure itll all be fixed in the end. Also I studied abroad in Australia for a whole month when I was in school. Easily one of the best months of my life. Let me know if you have any questions about it!CrazyMofo107https://www.blogger.com/profile/14847273610605935375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328682455236712965.post-57020297751322754242011-11-04T14:38:59.559-07:002011-11-04T14:38:59.559-07:00Hey Tom, thought I'd share this, its sort of w...Hey Tom, thought I'd share this, its sort of weird but after I had my wisdom teeth removed my molars made more contact. I had my braces on at the time though too. I noticed it made a difference in closing my bite although my bite still isn't closed. <br />My bottom jaw has sort of wandered off to the left in the meantime too.Incognita https://www.blogger.com/profile/10094613755561267960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328682455236712965.post-14694419431969308962011-11-04T08:07:04.116-07:002011-11-04T08:07:04.116-07:00Hey Tom!

Good luck with everything! I look forward to following your blog.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09133651094598919385noreply@blogger.com
