J9's Jaw Journey: December 2010
http://j9sjawjourney.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Friday, December 31, 2010. Thursday, December 23, 2010: Periodontal consultation. I met Dr. Hagan today. He and his staff were friendly and made me feel very comfortable in their office. We went through the usual health history, which is now much more involved than ever before, and they took some photos of me and my gum lines. Dr Hagan did an exam and used terms like "adequate attached gingiva", "no attached gingiva", "class 1 mobility". The g...

J9's Jaw Journey: Thursday, May 26, 2011: Dental Day (aka trip to the city day)
http://j9sjawjourney.blogspot.com/2011/05/thursday-may-26-2011-dental-day-aka.html
My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Thursday, May 26, 2011. Thursday, May 26, 2011: Dental Day (aka trip to the city day). Big day today. I saw the oral surgeon, the orthodontist and since I was on a role, decided to squeeze in a visit to the dentist as well (suggested by oral surgeon). I'm really happy with my smile now. The arthrocentesis was a success - no more pain! This made my day. The only concern I have left (as of today) is the way my front teeth fit together. It's diff...

My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Sunday, January 23, 2011. Thursday, January 20, 2011: Musical Jaws. Last week, I went back to Dr. Baum to see if there were any high points in the fillings that needed to be filed down. He did, however I have not have any relief. Due to the relentless aches and pains in my jaws for the past 3 weeks, I made appointments to see my orthodontist and surgeon. Later that afternoon, I saw Dr. Hackenberger. He seemed pretty concerned about the pai...1 Art...

J9's Jaw Journey: Saturday, January 8, 2011
http://j9sjawjourney.blogspot.com/2011/01/saturday-january-8-2011_23.html
My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Sunday, January 23, 2011. Saturday, January 8, 2011. My jaw has been super achey the past few days. No idea why. Both sides just hurt. Been icing it, heating it, taking ibuprofen, but doesn't seem to be helping. Also, having issues with these retainers. Maybe they are part of the problem. Must be time to suck it up and get back to the orthodontist's office. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Porceline onlay - tooth #14.

J9's Jaw Journey: April 2010
http://j9sjawjourney.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Monday, April 26, 2010. April 23rd, 1 Month. It's been one month since surgery! But at the same time, it's only been one month. Had a follow-up with the surgeon yesterday. I always have questions and/or concerns and usually, I find that I am just being neurotic and the surgeon tells me not to worry, just give it time. That didn't happen this time. Getting more feeling back! Most people who haven't seen me in awhile say they notice the swelling und...

My experience with orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Thursday May 13, 2010. Good news, bad news. This morning was my first official appointment with the orthodontist for an adjustment. Going in I was worried about being able to open my mouth wide enough for them to get the wires in and out. Fortunately, I was worried for nothing. The good news.or really, the GREAT news of the day, is that Dr. G wants to get these braces off asap! I am not giving up though! Let me tell ya, chewi...
