Day 370- PLATE REMOVAL SURGERY DATE!

    Today i received a phone call for my plate removal surgery! Yaaayy! and i only inquired about it a few days ago :D

                                                           23RD JULY 2012!

Luckily it does not clash with my spinning instructor course on the 21st and 22nd of July! Phew!

Is it really sad that i would like to keep them after they take them out? Haha!

Day 365- ONE YEAR POST OP!!!

                               WOW!!  Its been a whole year already! How time really does fly!

I really have got used to my new bite now.....but sometimes through habit i still find myself using a knife and fork for foods such as pizza and wraps! Ill remember.....eventually! Haha!

I have a few areas that are still numb, in the roof of my mouth and gums and sometimes when i just brush my fingers over my chin i feel a nerve i think haha! I'm so glad i done it, and had a fantastic orthodontist, surgeon and team of nurses and receptionists at the clinic, that always helped when i had a question or was worried about something.


Pictures throughout the process.

ONE YEAR!!!!

Good luck to anyone waiting for surgery as well as those who are recovering! Its worth it in the end. 

Day 364 Phone call to the clinic

    I phoned up the clinic today to inquire about when i'm having the plate and screws removed from my  top right upper jaw as i had not heard anything since April. It turns out i am on the waiting list, however due to a virus outbreak the process has been delayed slightly. Its just a waiting game now. On Friday and Saturday my face really ached, slightly more than usual and on two consecutive days, so i just hope it doesn't become more frequent.
