Beginning Braces: First, the pictures.
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/09/first-pictures.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 7:06 AM. First, the pictures. Because I know how much evey one loves pictures. Even pre-treatment ones. These came from my records and impressions, taken September 7, 2005. The plan (obviously) is to fix the spacing and that huge overjet, which is actually worse than it appears due to the fact my bottom teeth are also tipped forward. Yikes. 2005 / Powered for Blogger.

Beginning Braces: Things I need to ask at my next consult
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/06/things-i-need-to-ask-at-my-next.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 8:38 AM. Things I need to ask at my next consult. As this blog is mainly a means to allow me to record my orthodontia, I'm going to use it as a note-keeping medium as well. As a bonus, maybe I've thought of something you need to ask your orthondontist as well. But i'm not going to remember the things in 10 weeks I'm thinking of now, so I need to write them down. 1) Get a ballpark figure and time estimate for total treatment. Make sure that includes the cost of surgery. An adult ...

Beginning Braces: Just One
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/09/just-one.html
Friday, September 30, 2005 at 11:54 AM. A small cavity on an upper premolar I can handle. My upper jaw freezes much better than my lower, and it's not very deep. I hope. So hopefully this cavity will not cause me the problems the others have. *fingers crossed*. 2005 / Powered for Blogger. An adult bracing saga. At 27 years old, I have been dealing with my huge buck-teeth and mess of a mouth for my entire life. I'm finally taking the plunge to get it all fixed, and this is my story. Second, the mindf*ck.

Beginning Braces: Waiting for the results...
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/09/waiting-for-results.html
Monday, September 19, 2005 at 2:25 PM. Waiting for the results. I've got my records follow up appointment in a couple hours. I have no idea what to expect, but I'll be back to record whatever it is that happens. Just a quick note - I fixed the majority of typos in the previous posts. I really should learn to proofread my work better. I have a bad habit of reading what I meant, not what I typed, and the end result is something that looks like a typing test gone mad. ;). 2005 / Powered for Blogger.

Beginning Braces: Boring! Yay!
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/09/boring-yay.html
Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 7:11 AM. Peridontally boring, that is. As per usual with potential adult orthodontic patients, I had to have a periodontist check me out before I could go through with everything. I was a little bit freaked out about it, to be honest. I was envisioning even more problems that would have to be fixed, needing even more money and time. Thank god I was wrong! If it is, then maybe my government would pay for it (Gotta love being a canadian, eh? 2005 / Powered for Blogger. Forgo...

Beginning Braces: First Consultation
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/06/first-consultation.html
Monday, June 13, 2005 at 4:09 PM. I just got back from my first orthodontic consultation in probably 12-13 years. It is *so* refreshing to hear somebody say that yeah, we can fix that. finally! As this was just a consult and no records were done, everything he's said has to be taken with a grain a salt. But after his initial examination, his recommendations were:. 18-20 months in braces, to fix the overbite. 3-6 months to fine-tune my bite. Financially, he told me in the worst case scenario, the braces w...

Beginning Braces: Yet another consult
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/09/yet-another-consult.html
Tuesday, September 06, 2005 at 11:14 AM. I've been meaning to post for a while, bur for whatever reason, I never got around to it. I did finally get in for a second consultation with a orthodontist close by. The ortho's clinical findings:. Lower jaw is too short. Distance from nose to chin appears long. Lower teeth are behind the upper teeth. Upper teeth are tipped forward. Lower teeth bite into the roof of the mouth. Lower fron teeth are too far behind upper front teeth. Upper front teeth are spaced.

Beginning Braces: More dental hell...
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/07/more-dental-hell.html
Thursday, July 21, 2005 at 9:14 AM. I had another dental appointment last week I've been meaning to blog about. It really shouldn't have been a big deal - it was just another cavity being filled. Due the fact that i'm EXTREMELY prone to decay, I've had dozens filled already. Although I've always been difficult to freeze and sometimes it wears off too early causing my dentist to only do a single cavity per sitting, it's never been this bad. Sigh* i give up. This really does suck. I'd kill to have a "n...

Beginning Braces: Pictures
http://beginningbraces.blogspot.com/2005/06/pictures.html
Monday, June 13, 2005 at 8:57 PM. Argh blogger's being difficult, so here's a post dedicated entirely to the pictures I had taken at my first consult. They're horrible, horrible things, taken while I had some serious plaque buildup, but I'm trying to be very honest about every thing here, so here goes. 2005 / Powered for Blogger.
