Bad run of luck

It seems much of the time that i write in my blogs, i just bring bad news and whinge. My apologies ha ha ha. But im going to do it again. My work vehicle got broken into this morning and im furious!!!! My GPS, ipod, CD's, gift vouchers all got stolen and as its a company vehicle, were not sure if we can claim the personal items. Im so bummed right now and feel unsafe where i am. Luckily thou, my Dad has come to the rescue and has got me a brand new high tec alarm system for the house and carport so this wont happen again (touch wood). What kind of person does it takle to steal???? Dont they know how long and hard you have to work to get these things??? Whats wrong with the human race that were more willing to steal from each other then help? Its all beyond me.

In other news, i have posted up some more photos of my teeth as its has been a while. There is no significant changes since were just waiting for my back molars to move but i thought i would post them anyways :) You can really see in the photos that the midlines of my teeth dont line up and will need correcting. Also, my teeth at the bottom have been worn down in places cos of my underbite so they look uneven. Im getting really excited now for the surgery and cant wait for it to happen. Allot of you ortho bloggers are in the stages of surgery and its helping so much to read what your going through and how your coping. Good luck with your recoveries. xxx

What a weekend

Morning everyone.
Well what a weekend i had! An excellent pub crawl on Saturday night was something well needed. Good mates, good times and lots of fun.
In regards to the teeth, my next checkup with the orthodontist is on the 8th of September. I have my back 2 molars on my upper jaw that need to move into position and then im done and ready for surgery. The molar on my right hand side is really out of line and i think will take quite some time to move. The molar on the left however, is nearly in the right position! Yay. The gap between my top and bottom teeth has increased slightly and now you can really see that the jaw is off center.
Will post some teeth photos soon.
For the moment, here is a pick from Saturday night with my gorgeous housemate Ailsa. Im quite happy with how easily the braces blend with the teeth in photos. Even if they didnt, i still would be smiling :)

Finances

Hi guys,
Well i have spent allot of time lately reviewing what benefits i will be getting from private health insurance. I changed into the specialist plan in Feb 08, just incase there were any problems and all i have had from my insuarnce is headaches. Today im feeling quite fed up and just over it all. I hate the fact that people get insuarnce (i have had private health for 5 years) and when it comes to actually needing it for medical purposes, you get slapped in the face. Grrrrr....

Well now that my grumble is over, i get spacers in this Thursday! Yay. New metal rings on the my back molars on Monday and then its just a waiting game. I felt quite self concious last week about the gap between the jaws at the front. I had a consult meeting for work with new clients last Friday and all they seemed to do was look at my teeth. I had to laugh. That was my only option or let it get to me. Usually im pretty thick skinned and i just let things pass. Just think of the end results and that makes everything better :)

I did a very silly thing also last week and that was go onto You Tube and see corrective jaw surgery videos. Ha ha ha. You know when your just really really curious about something and you have to look, even though you KNOW your not going to like what you see. Well yeah. I looked and had a mild heart attack. I think i have learnt my lesson and realise that ignorance IS bliss :)

Finally coming together

I have posted up my most recent photos of my smile. I can notice that my bottom teeth are allot straighter and all my top teeth are fine. My ortho is going to be putting on metal brackets on the 1st of August to align my very back top molars and after that, im done :)
Yay yay. Then its organizing a date for surgery and getting it over and done with.
I must say, i haven't allowed myself to think about the surgery too much to avoid a major freakout. But as scary as it is and will be, the end results will be worth it :)
Cant wait
Goodluck to everyone coming up to surgery dates.....were all together in this

Wired smile

Update time.
Had another ortho visit a few days ago and everything is well on track. I however, continue to break the back brace off my tooth so im going to need spacers again and 2 additional metal bands put on. (I honestly think that the spacers are the WORST part of braces but anyway).
Most of my front teeth are straight and the main part is to now straighten 2 back molars. After that, it will be a waiting game.
Im finding it quite hard to talk fluently now whilst having a gap between my jaws. Makes conversations quite interesting ha ha. Especially when you have a blister developing on the underside of your top lip and you try avioiding contact with it when you speak. Makes you look pretty funny when you talk ha ha ha.
Hope all is well for any of you reading. I should post more interesting stuff but im having too much fun reading everyone elses blogs :)

Changes

Im sorry it has been a while since i have posted but i have been very busy lately. I have posted some photos of the current positions of my teeth. (They photos are a bit yellow cos of the light). Now i have this big gap between my top and bottom teeth but they said that would happen. My bottom teeth are allot straighter now and im surprised by how quickly they turned.
I go back to the ortho at the beginning of next month so until then, nothing much going on with the teeth.
Other big changes in my life occuring now though. I have just moved out of home and into my own place. Scary. But so far so good. Neighbours seem nice enough aswell so thats a bonus.
Will post as soon as i have more news.
Bye :)

Broken braces already!

Well what a week it has been. In Oz, it was Anzac week last weekend and so me and all my girls went down to Dunsborough for some girlie fun. Ended up somehow, breaking the last back brace on my bottom braces off. I think it might of happened when i was playing circle of death after having numerous absinthe shots. (cringe just thinking about that night). But after speaking with the ortho, it turned out he placed the bracket too low on my tooth and thats why it fell off. Yay, it wasnt my fault :)

But were all back on track now and i have my next ortho visit on the 20th May. Already my 4 front bottom teeth are looking straighter and are turning. I forget how fast teeth move when you have braces. In other news, me and my boy went hot air balloon riding over Northam which was fantastic. Recommend it to anyone if they are coming to Perth. I have added a few pics so you guys can see my awsome braces and some of the ballooning.
Talk soon :)
