This video is a quick update and how my surgical hooks feel as well as field trip to my ortho to see me get the hooks on.
Surgical hooks on braces.
Whoever would think to say that wearing braces is wonderful my teeth look clean my clear braces look great and i feel like today was an important step in the recovery process.
I hope you like my new intro.
Broad selection of surgical hooks and instruments.
A tiny contrast from the teaspoon of wax i got for 9 months in braces.
After she changed the elastics the surgical hooks were put on which wasn t really painful just a lot of pressure when affixed to the braces.
I was handed this gigantic wad of surgical wax and told to use it on my braces and hooks after the surgery if i got any ulcers or if anything was poking me.
So there you have it i am now back to wearing just braces and it feels wonderful.
Surgical hooks seem to be the modern alternative to wiring the jaw shut.
Had my second last pre op orthodontic appointment today.
Song is love comes by the posies.
I have to wear just two bands one on each side and will continue to be banded for the duration of the orthodontia.
So it s like 8 bucks a piece for that tiny metal yeeesh.

They re just relatively annoying and i can certainly feel that they re there.
The last one will be in a month and my ortho will take my final dental impressions.
It seems a bit early to.
The hooks are sitting well at the moment i had visions of them tearing my gums up like the braces did but i guess they re already pre hardened to it now.
It took less then five minutes to do.
