Seeing Me Differently

That's me, really...

Isn't it creepy, kind of???

It's this weird x-ray that my dentist took.

The shadow of my face is what's weird.

I have major mouth issues.

More so than I realized, actually.

My bite is abnormal.

Not sure if it has always been this way,

or if the accident left me this way,

or if I was and the accident made it worse,

but lets just say I have mouth issues.

Dr. Scasta is wonderful and wanted to take

my x-rays and impressions with him to

Chicago next week so his mentor can

look at them and tell us anything different.

Chances are nothing can really fix the problem,

other than oral surgery where they would remove

a section of bone from my jaw to change my bite.

He isn't recommending that!!!!

He has ideas of what we can try and see if he can 

manipulate my bite by training my muscles in my 

face which would retrain my bite.

We aren't there yet,

the price tag is gynormous!!!!!

Do you see how my front teeth are sticking out 

almost straight?  You can't tell that by 

looking at me, but because I have no bone,

no palet, that's how the fake teeth are.

Never understood that!!!  

It has been 15 years since the accident!

But I thought that this x-ray was cool and weird

and not everyone has one of these! =)

So be jealous!  ;)
