Hope everyone had some happy holidays! I got The Little Mermaid on blue ray so of course was Christmas was great.
But, back to reality! Right before the holidays, I had my 2nd appointment with the orthodontist. It included getting some more x-rays, pictures, and the dreaded impressions. After Dr. Klein and I spoke, she told me that I would have to schedule an Orthognathic Work-Up with my oral surgeon. I'm still a little unsure of what exactly will happen at that appointment, but I was told that my surgery team will form and they will decide exactly what type of surgery I need. They told me that I can expect anything from blood work to x-rays to an EKG. Unfortunately, it is not covered by my insurance (GRRRR) so this will have to come out of my own pocket. And it's not a cheap appointment. $1500 for a single appointment! Ridiculous! Thankfully, it's a new year and my FSA has just started. I opted to get the max my company offers. With the $1500 work-up and braces, we will definitely use it up no problem.
Speaking of braces, I have my appointment to get them on. Wednesday, February 12th is the big day. Now all I need to do is decide on a sweet color. Hmmm, decisions, decisions! I'll have to search online and see what all the cool kids are doing.
Well, hopefully I'll update again in a few weeks after my work-up!
