Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 --- Hello there Cheryl. You're welcome for the thoughts, prayers, etc. Well since you just the surgeon, maybe there is hope that they can come to a mutual understanding of your situation and it won't involve more money, knives or time (sorry to be so blunt!). It would seem to me that if a tooth was moving or didn't look straight, it would be a tooth issue. From your post, it sounded like you thought your teeth were not as " straight " as they used to be. However, it is a complicated process and I guess there is a possibility the jaw could be causing it, but what do I know?? Plus, sounds like the surgeon really did everything he could to rule out any possibility of it being a jaw problem, so maybe if the ortho looks at those molds, x-rays, etc., it might change his diagnosis. have fun in Naples.....Try to have a good time and not think too much about your mouth....although if you're anything like me, it's probably ALL I would be thinking about. Happy Memorial Day weekend!! Be safe, Donna In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " cshecmia " <cshecmia@a...> wrote: > Thanks Donna, > > I'm trying not to panic - just to take it one step at a time.
