braces/nose job Q's

[Guest guest]

Step 1--initial consult

Step 2--consult w/ x rays, photos, and molds..

Step 3--Braces!

I'm now officially braced on my bottom row. urgh! I'd forgotten about the

joys of braces. I had clear crystal braces put on the front teeth though, so

they don't look too bad.

I'd taken some preventative Alleve before the appointment, but then it wore

out in the evening when I was at my Stitch n B**ch group and I'd somehow

left the bottle at home. GRR!

I hope my teeth move quickly and I can get these off in record time!

I have a consult with the OMS at the end of November, and I'm scheduling one

with a plastic surgeon too. I want to throw a nose job in with the rest of

this. Has anyone else combined the nose job with any jaw surgeries? How did

it go? Would you recommend it, or is it better to have it done separately?

How miserable were you?

Step 4 will be the palate expansion, then braces on my uppers, then jaw

surgeries on top and bottom. It's a lot to dread!
