Well, i’ve had the spacers in for 2 weeks now and i’ve managed to not have a tantrum and rip them all out with pliers and so they are still surviving between my teeth. There’s no pain anymore, so I assume my teeth have moved and found their now ‘home’ for now but they are just still deeply frustrating when eating; I just never feel like i’ve finished my food.
Tomorrow begins the journey for my new face, and the expansion plate goes in. I’ve taken lots of ‘before’ photographs which I will use to compare the changes week by week but I won’t ever look in the mirror and see quite the same face again. Which in many ways i’m happy about since the whole point of this process is to change my jawline so that I can breathe better and bite better and give me my chin back, but I’ve had this face for 45 yrs now and it’s a bit odd to know that it will never be the same again. Love it or hate it your face is yours and yours only!
So I officially say “Goodbye” to my old face and I hope I like the new one!
I will post photos as I go along but out of context I just look like some random fair haired middle aged person with a gummy smile! ( if you look close enough you can see the spacers in there!)
