Today while I was at work, I had an answerphone message on my mobile.
I listened to it at lunchtime and found out that it was the Maxillofacial waiiting list calling me.
I rang them back and the lady told me my pre- op appointment for tomorrow is not on as they don't hsve a clinic day on Thursdays.
She said she's changing it to the Monday and will send me a letter to confirm.
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.

All is well!
This was the first time I went my bus to my appointment, it took nearly an hour!
My boyfriend wasn't able to take me but met me there.
Luckily he told them I was running late.
The first thing Mr S asked was if I had any problems, e.g. broken brackets etc.
He said the last thing you need at this point is anything delaying my surgery.
He set about having a look at my teeth, but had problems with the chair and tool controls, so he said to Nicky his nurse to grap a torch as he wanted to get me sorted and could cancel any other appointments.
Mr S eventually got the controls working, then changed my elastic ligatures.
(He missed a few though :o(
I still have some emerald green looking ones, oh well...)
Just when I thought I was done, he said hold on, got some lip separators out and tried to find the correct size.
After three pairs he found some small enough for my mouth, got me to hold them in position and he took photos of my teeth.
Appointment over, I'll see them in July for my hour long appointment for measurements etc. Joy!
