I am 100% surgery ready!

Yesterday my orthodontist put my surgical hooks on!

I look like a robo mouth.

but I don't care because now this means if any cancelations come up in June/July I'll just be able to go for it straight away and they'll be nothing holding me back.
My orthodontists been amazing as well, shes done everything that she can do to help me get an earlier date. shes emailed my surgeon, and now she says shes going to write a letter saying that I have the surgical hooks on and that I am ready for whatever date he can offer!
yaaayyy!
Normally I would be really annoyed to have so much extra metal in my mouth for no immediate reason, but I just so desperately want an earlier date so that I can go to Australia as soon as I can. So I am willing to have any amount of metal in my mouth in order for that to happen:)

One incredibly sad thing is, that now I can't have colours on my braces!
That was the one fun thing about braces.....
but It's because they fall off during the surgery.

  1. Yay! I'm so happy for you! :D Good luck on getting an appropriate date ^-^

    Also don't worry about the colours thing haha, my hospital doesn't even offer them so I'm staying with silver the whole way through this process!

    Luck!

  2. when I had my last ortho visit before surgery I was all ready to pick out the color I'd have for months only to come to the same sad realization... no colored ties during surgery! :( at least the ss ties are easier to keep clean!

  3. oh my gosh beth that is so unfair on you! I reckon you should request that they order in coloured ones especially for you:) haa
    and laura I really was truely devastated! It's a silly thing to be annoyed about but I loved picking what colour to have each time:D and I find my braces soooo hard to clean with these hooks on. Food gets stuck so badly, I feel like I have to brush them after to every meal or snack!

    My ortho needs to learn a lesson from your ortho!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get put on a waiting list asap as well. It's so cool how we're both heading to aus after surgery. Hope everything happens asap for you and that you get to go sooner.

  6. Yayy for being surgery ready!! That is really weird that none of you got to have colors on during surgery. I had some purple ties on my braces. I just checked to make sure and they definitely were there with my surgical hooks.
