We get them like twice a year and the electricity goes out everytime. sucks. anyhoo.. <BR/><BR/>Your teeth are look good girl. Yes, it gets worse before the surgery (the bite). I used to clench really bad at night for a while but it stopped. I'm guessing stress related. Worrying about the surgery and all plus the stress on your teeth from the moving. <BR/><BR/>Your bottom teeth look perfect!Shontellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102156202228869773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748573610052699240.post-24709162187244792762008-06-13T13:24:00.000-07:002008-06-13T13:24:00.000-07:00Hey girlie, Teeth are lookin gooood! =) I can't ...Hey girlie, <BR/>Teeth are lookin gooood! =) <BR/><BR/>I can't really help with your question either. I was a huge clencher before braces. When I passed in my bite plate for my new grill, my ortho told me that people with braces don't clench as much because their teeth are moving and sensitive.. or something like that. (I was pretty worried about giving up the plate!) Without it, I used to break teeth in my sleep. Since then, no clenching. <BR/><BR/>I don't know about the transfering stuff either unfortunately... <BR/><BR/>good luck! I'm sure you will get it all figured out. =) <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for all of your support. =)holskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887035572619265103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748573610052699240.post-75935499787729789662008-06-11T13:43:00.000-07:002008-06-11T13:43:00.000-07:00You have been a busy gal!

Maybe they know a doc that they could recommend in California...and call your insurance company, too, as it's possible that even without continuing coverage your payments would be the same. The jaw surgery would be a different story, but perhaps your ortho has ideas.<BR/><BR/>I can see a difference in your upper teeth! You look at 'em every day, so it's hard to see the changes. You got the most dramatic results out of the lower braces, so now it's just the subtle (but important!) movements that have to be waited on.<BR/><BR/>Keep smiling, girl!Alli Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670764130438939671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748573610052699240.post-26647418074393825592008-06-09T19:23:00.000-07:002008-06-09T19:23:00.000-07:00Crazy that you're freezing, I've been sweating my ...Crazy that you're freezing, I've been sweating my patootie off for thelast week (unfortunately not literally, but ya know what I mean)!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you've been crazy busy. Bet you're counting sleeps 'til schools out :) Sorry to hear gums are still giving you a hard time, that has GOT to be frustrating ~and more than a little uncomfortable, too.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I'm not much help with your questions, so hopefully others will be more helpful. I clench at night sometimes (mostly the firtst few nights after teeth have made a different 'contact') but aside from lying awake telling myself to relax, this lasts only until I fall asleep again.Feel your pain.<BR/><BR/>Wow, you've got some decisions to make regarding treatment. Alas, I'm useless in the OD transfer-arrangement department as well. Don't blame you for wanting to stay with what you've got. Would you travel back and forth?Katherine (Kate)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01197376634270850417noreply@blogger.com
