Its been a while since I posted any updates.
Well its been a rocky ride and trying to save my teeth.
After my last update I have seen a Periodontist and a MaxillioFacial surgeon to figure out what can be done with my lower front teeth and the bone loss caused by a dentist. I was told I would loose the 2 teeth next to the extracted tooth before the 2 years of orthodontics are over.
I contacted the dentist and made it clear that the siituation I am in is unacceptable and that they will need to resolve this problem at hand. After a few emails to the head of the facility and dentist, he agreed to assist in sorting the problem out.
Went to see my orthodontist and he said that the teeth dont have a lot of bone supporting them but that he was more optimistic about the long term outcome and that he thinks all will be ok. Well the ortho stabilized my bottom teeth for the last three months with the gap not closing at all. I must admit the teeth have firmed up and dont wiggle around much anymore. My one tooth was so loose that when I bit on it, it would move up and down. Now its stable with no movement when biting on the tooth.
My top teeth have started moving into alignment although very slow.
I am going for my next appointment in a weeks time and will now be getting my 16X22 top archwire. Things are looking on the bright side again.
Still hoping and praying everyday that it all works out for the good.
Oh and while busy with the braces saga me and my wife have our first baby on the way. Found out 2 months ago. She is now on her second trimester today. So yes their is a little sparkle of joy on the way
Will post new pics after my appointment next week.
