Finally, some photos to share with you all!

Well, here are some pictures, FINALY! They aren't the best, but then I took them myself after an ortho appointment. I can't wait to post the new improved smile. I was thinking that I didn't want to get the genio done, but after taking a closer look at these photos, I may spend the extra money and do it anyway. We'll see what my OS thinks when I see him next (which will be for my pre-op!).



Front view, remember, I took these myself. And it was after A LONG day at work (but then what days aren't long when you are working 50 - 60 hours a week?). Oh, notice the gummy smile. Can't wait for that to be gone!


A nice CLOSE up of teeth. If you look, you can see that there is a slight underbite. Before the braces I had a cross bite, one tooth under, one tooth over. Now it's all under. The only teeth that actually meet completely are my K-9's with the first molars.


Ah, the dreaded profile pic. I think this is the one that we all hate the most. I have ALWAYS hated my profile, and never really thought that there was anything that could be done about it. But that's why my OS is going to move my upper jaw forward instead of my lower jaw back. That will give me more depth and more pronouced cheeks. I can't wait!!!



Yup, this one's not any better.
Well, there are some pictures. I wil try to be better on putting updated pics here. I'll have to have Bob (my husband) take the pics next time. Maybe they will come out better then (but then I NEVER think pics of myself come out good, no matter who takes them). Thanks for looking! I will also try to be better at updated this blog. I know that I look forward to reading how everyone is doing, and when a day goes by and there are no updates from everyone, I get sad, but then I never update, so I really shouldn't. Keep up all the good work guys and girls, and we will all be through this before we know it!

do u have a surgery date yet? i'm having upper/lower/chin surgery myself. surgical hooks appointment is May 2nd. now they just need to pick a surgery date sometime in May. I just got word that my surgeon's wife passed away this weekend from colon cancer. what a way to go! so sad.

Tara said...

superflycrazy,
Nope, no surgery date yet :( Hopefully sometime in the end of August or somewhere around there. I thought I was ready, but the surgeon wants to see a little bit more movement before the surgery. Good luck with your surgery and hooks! I'm sorry to hear about your surgeon's wife. That's so sad.

Hey Tara,
Nice to put a face with a surgery buddy! I think you are wise to wait to get your teeth aligned a bit more before you have the srugery. They really do need to sorta fit together well beforehand so when they get in there they don't have to do too much work to make them fit right. It will be worth the wait.....

It's so nice to see the face I've been missing...not that I don't have a lot of pictures of you, but it makes me miss you more!

I'm sorry that the whole process is taking longer than you anticipated, I'm sure that is aggravating--but it's better to wait and have it all right than to start the procedure just to do everything again! So, be as patient at you can (I know how good you and I are at that lol), it'll all be worth it in the end!!

Miss and love ya!! xoxo

Hi Tara. I saw your blog linked from Mary's site and I see that you've been chatting with the rest of the gang too, very cool. Looks like you and I are in a very similar boat. We're both class III and waiting a dog's age for a surgery date! I'm hoping for July but it will probably be closer to October, but who knows.
Anyway, I can tell that you are going to have a dramatic improvement in your smile so I'm going to link you in to follow along!

Erin said...

Hi Tara - I found your blog through Graham's blog. I'm going to be having upper advancement too (along with widening) -- no bottom jaw work. But like you, I have a long face and chin, etc. My surgery is set for July and I can't wait! I've had my braces on since August 2005 (things got held up for several months because of TMJ concerns) so it's definitely time for me to be getting this done with. I look forward to reading about your adventure and I hope you'll come check out my blog & comment!

Take care!

Olah! Saw your blog from Marys page. This is as far as I've gotten but will continue to catch up. I hope you don't mind that I've linked you to my page. I'm getting my lower jaw pushed back pretty soon. My profile looks a lot like yours! I think I'm going to ask my surgeon about getting my chin shortened now that you've mentioned it. Anyhoo.. can't wait to see your results. I like your "I can't wait to have kids" line! Sounds like me. K- chow for now.

I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was surprisingly fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

Nice...
