How long are you going to have them on? When did you get them? |
I had them put on up in Northern Cali and wore them for 3 months then moved to Southern Cali and it took 6 months to get an apt with an Ortho cause nobody would see me! "We don't take transfers" Turns out nobody takes transfer patients! Reason being that the harware you have in your mouth is never compadable with their systems... ugh! And that means that they spend an hour consulting with you only to have to give you the bad news that you have to pull everything off and start over.... at whick 99% of people tell men to get hosed and bail. A huge waste of the Dr's time... so they just don't make the apts... So I managed to get my step sons ortho to see me... He gave me the bad news and the inside scoop on why I couldn't get in anywhere...
Soooooo, I yanked everything off... Scrapping 2,000 investment in whatever?? And started all over this time on a great payment plan... I had to do something... I had the choice of removing the old ones and letting all the work that had been done reverse itself... or continue the treatment. Hubby refused to let me give it up... even with things being as tight as they were at the time... and I'm glad that he held me to it... cause everything worked out and they are looking sooooo good now. Pain and all! LOL
So they've been on for about 4 1/2 months now and I should be in them for a year and a half....
The bite plate should only be in for 4 to 5 months... That is going to SUCK! My back teeth won't touck for over 2 months! I won't be able to chew solid food! LOL Who knows what I'm going to do with that??? Thank God for the Vita Mix!!! Lots of Smoothies for me!!!!
