So I saw my ortho today.. FINALLY! it seems she is going to wait to put on the braces till after my expansion surgery. The last hurdle I have to jump before the expansion is they now want me to see a periodontist to make sure I have adequate bone around my teeth. Due to the bad bite I have clentched and ground me teeth till most of the molars were broken so they want to make sure there was no further damage before they install the RPE for the expansion.
The only problem with seeing a periodontist is figuring out how I am going to pay for him. The costs just keep adding up and I am not seeing how I can cover this. I figured out how to pay for the braces... cool! Got a line of credit to pay for the dental work.. paying that off monthly, now they want mne to see a periodontist.. I am out of ideas on that one and the appt is for Oct. 14th. With any luck it with just be an evaluation and no work will be needed.
Soooo.. providing everything goes well at the periodontist on the 14th I will get my spacers placed on the 15th and fitted for the RPE on the 24th. November 14th the RPE will be installed and I should get clarification on tuesday from Dr. Mauros office but my Surgery sholuld be on December 10th, one day before my micro and algebra finals. Hoping I can take both of my finals on December 9th..LOL
So that is where i stand right now...... now back to waiting and praying....
