2nd molars out of whack

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I e-mailed my ortho today. Just got a reply. My molars

are flared or tipped outward so that chewing has become non-existant.

They don't line up with the rest of my " tooth line " or my bottom

teeth. Is this normal? The ortho said to wait til my next appt. to

check it out. I don't remember going through half this much trouble

the first time in braces! First the bands around the molars and now

this! Must be the age.

Wondering how Cammie is doing??????

, welcome to my world! My surgery was put further off than it

could have been because my third molars did not line up with the rest

of my upper arch! I was so mad! So now the race is on to get them

in line for my 7/31 date. The ortho never touched them until the

surgeon told me we couldn't do surgery until they were lined up. I

wore braces when I was 12 and they never touched my molars then

either.

Lady B, Not only did she touch them, they are now way out in space!

I actually bite down on the sides of the upper now! Can't imagine

this is normal. She said that they will all line up eventually.

Great!! How could your ortho not notice yours??? Or did they think

they would fix them after surgery? I've only had the braces since

April 22. Things sure move fast in my mouth it seems.

my ortho assumed I think that she could line them up after surgery.

But, the surgeon felt that if she did that it might throw off his (my)

bite.

How long to move them?

Its been one month and I go to the surgeon on Monday so I'll find out

then if we are good to go-which we better or I will literally lose it.

You poor thing! Guess I'd better be happy we are adressing mine

upfront, ha? I'm not even scheduled yet. I did find out that my

surgeon's office is working on the pre-authorization letter. Our

insurance excludes TMJ (which I have mildly) and craniomandibular

deformities (whatever that is). Not sure how they are gonna code it.

I never even realized , until this board, that alot of my headaches

came from my jaw problems. Doctors never mentioned it. Hoping this

will fix alot of things! Good luck with your molars.....Irish

sending her vibes?

Good luck on Monday, . I can so relate. I'm going to the ortho

tomorrow morning to see if I'm still " on " for August 5th.

--- Hi , sorry to hear that you are having a spot of bother with

your molars not lining up. I'm sure they will be able to sort the

problem out for you ;] I don't think my molars line up particularly

well either but sure they have lots of time to sort out these things.

as we're both not having surgery until next year, right? Let me know

if you've got any more news about what they're going to do for you,

take care, Annie (your orthognathic buddy)
