Pictures of new appliance

My "Adventures" through orthognathic surgery! I am currently in the process of talking with the surgeon to set up my surgery date. I've already had my braces on for almost a year. I have to have Lefort I, upper advancement. My surgeon suggests that I also have genioplasty done, but I am going to pass on that now because it won't be covered under insurance. I will try to write a blog to update you all on my history and how far I have come and the LONG road that it has been.

very cool looking things. thanks for sharing!
wow crazy contraption, sucks to be the guinea pig, BUT no crowns...all your original teeth, that sounds like a good deal to me!
WEIRD! Guinea pig huh? That would be my luck too. At least they will pay special attention to you. =D
interesting for sure. Do you have to wear them all the time or just at night? I imagine it would be difficult to talk with these in. Always something but hopefully you're getting closer to being done for good.
I have to wear them as close to 24 hours a day as I can. I take them out to eat or drink anything other then water. The first few days were rough, but I can get them in and out pretty quickly now. Hopefully it won't be for too long. I can already tell that they are moving closer when I floss! So we're getting somewhere with them!
Very weird looking. I agree with Shontell, with my luck, I would have to be the guinea pig too.
It's good that you can feel it working though.
I wonder why we don't hear of this problem more often? It seems as though after all of us get our bands off, we would all have some spaces... right?
Wow, good to know they work fast, because they sure look like they must feel big, if that makes sense. Good luck!
It's pretty late to ask something about your teeth, but how did everything go with that appliance you have? How many weeks were you able to see significant changes on your teeth?
