First Dental Cleaning

Yep... so last Thursday I had my first dental cleaning since surgery. It was difficult with the braces... but I felt good knowing that my teeth were getting some TLC! I can't wait to have another after my braces come off. I'm worried that the braces may not be coming off as soon as he said they would... how long does it take to close two slight spaces??

2 Months Post Op

Nothing much to report:

• eating pretty much everything now- only exceptions are very hard crunchy foods like tacos, whole apples, etc.
• numb spots remain unchanged but are not bothersome- right corner of mouth and same area of chin, as well as inside right side of mouth.
• other people do not notice my swelling but when I compare the left side to my right, the left still feels like there is a hard pocket of swelling along the jaw line. When will this go away?
• Next ortho appointment is in late August when he will be deciding when the braces come off. There is a space between my two front teeth which is difficult to see unless you look specifically for it because the surgical hook hides it.
• Next post-op appointment with surgeons is in mid-September.
  

I hope everyone is doing well!
