Another adjustment ...

[Clo]

Hi !

Thanks for being interested in my case. Yes, I finally did get an email back from my
ortho. I see her coming Thursday. I hope to have a serious talk there. I mailed her
about what is going wrong, in the rather technical way I talk, you know me. I needed
to do this, but at the same time feared she would not accept me talking like this. I
mean, I am just a patient, well informed, but just a patient. Well, she admitted what
I wrote was a basis for her to study. This weekend, she wanted to do this. So I hope
we can have a good talk next Thursday.

I need to go to the surgeon who placed the bone anchors also that day. I hope I do
not need to have another surgery. But the area is still far from ok. It does not look
very promising.

I know I normally would need a jaw surgery, to create a good bite. They would need
to reposition my upper jaw to close the open bite and do a BSSO to correct this bad
overjet I have now. I have seen cases on the net and here that, when compared to
my bite, looked better than mine, and still were corrected by means of a surgery. I
saw 2 oral surgeons who told me they could do this. But my ortho is convinced it can
be corrected also just orthodontically. You have to know this is my third treatment.
In the beginning, I did not have an open bite. I did have a bad treatment, and as a
result, now I have this open bite and overjet. The second ortho tried to correct this,
but admitted it failed. Oh dear, it is such a long history already. If you want, you can
do a search here, and type in "clo" for "Search for Author:". All those threads started
by me in the Metal Mouth Forum are about my experiences. Plenty of them with a lot
of pics.
