Hi Clo,

I think the shock of everything has worn off a little so I am my clear headed self again.

The new ortho said that my current dentist isnt doing any harm since I am still in the phase where he is aligning teeth (16 months later!!!!) and I only owe him $200 more dollar with little chance of getting my money back. I think I am going to let him do his thing until my boyfriend's braces come off somewhere between july and december but I am hoping for July rather than December :) We always go to our appointments together so it makes it a little uncomfortable if I just stop going and if I wanted to call the WA dental board, that might make his treatment a nightmare.

Maybe when I go next week and tell him how I am considering surgery, he will say my case is over his head. But then again, some of those dentists have an ego :)

I the meantime I am going to get another opinion or two so I can figure out exactly what I need to do and how much money I need to save up to cover surgery and a new ortho.

Your progress pictures look fabulous. I wish my teeth looked like that :)

Alyssa
