77 days to go!!!

Hey Hey! Below is a short video of me talking about my surgery date scheduled for 9th June 2011. Cant believe Its only 77 DAYS away.. I have a few very exciting things to look forward to before my surgery, including my FIJI trip in 7 DAYS and my friends wedding.. so hopefully the time goes super quick!! :)

Also!! Today I visited my local dentist to get a general check up and a clean and polish which included a fluoride treatment. My teeth feel extra clean today :) My dentist was very pleased with my brushing and flossing and no fillings were to be found. I generally had very little tarter build up which was excellent to hear! Since getting my braces on, I have been trying really hard to brush them frequently. I take a spare toothbrush to work and uni to clean my teeth after every meal. I hate the feeling of having food stuck in my teeth.

  4. Congrats on your surgery date. How accurate was your orthodontist about predicting pre-surgical treatment time? You are so pumped right now. Eat plenty of cake at that wedding.

  6. Hi Rhianna
    I have an open bite too and from Sydney, who is your surgeon and ortho? What hospital are you going to?
    I have just had SARPE surgery to expand my pallate and luckily for me I dont need further surgery. They are using anchorage plates to adjust my bite. I watched your video and alot of your problems are the same as mine, I talk about it on my blog too.

  7. @Kristy. My orthodontist predicted my pre-surgical time perfectly. From the very beginning he knew I wanted to have the surgery done around May June 2011 so everything was set up in order to fit into that schedule. Because I have had braces before, I only needed them on for a minimum of 6 to 8mths. They were put on in September 2010 so plenty of time to get teeth ready for surgery. Very happy with how everything has worked out :)

    @leanleanleanleanleanleandro. I am having double jaw surgery, a ginoplasty and a septoplasty to correct my open bite and profile.. check out my videos for more information :)
