Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 My upper and lower jaw surgerys were on 6/22. OK, first I had " zebra " rubber bands on each side from the OS. Then, the OD changed me to " bears " on the left and " zebras " on the right (here I am stuck in the middle again...) Next, it was " bears " on both sides, on the left just at night and all the time on the right with changing them 3 times a day. Today, back to the OD and I NOW have teeny, tiny rubber bands--tikis---- on both sides to pull the lower jaw back " just a little " so the bottom teeth don't strike the back of the top teeth in the front. gotta wear them 24/7 and change 3X a day. Just when I feel like I am going forward, then I take two steps back....not really complaining. My mouth is sore (again) from the wire changes, new brackets and new wires and now the teeny-tiny rubber bands...BIG SIGH.... I am truly looking forward to the day that I can grab a burger, open wide and CHOMP into it! Months to go, I know, but still looking forward! Now that there is another Connie, I'll sign off as....
