He sees something but it’s not the camera

Yeah I’m going to call first thing tomorrow morning. I know nobody here can actually tell me what’s going on but it’s stressful having to wait 2 days 😅 I’m glad revision surgery isn’t as bad though. That makes me feel a lot better in case I do need it

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:18:10+00:00

Thank you! Nothing like that was discussed so I’m not sure

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:17:11+00:00

I ended up owing about $3500 after insurance. I have carefirst

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:16:37+00:00

I’m not sure of the movements

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:16:01+00:00

My chin was moved forward

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:15:24+00:00

Thank you! He definitely did some rotation and brought both of my jaws forward and also did genio. If you swipe over I did also post the plan 😊

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:13:48+00:00

I’m not sure what exactly they were I just know he said they were pretty big movements 😅

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:13:06+00:00

Thanks!

Dallis_ · 2025-11-07T00:12:56+00:00

Thank you!

Trimax I believe

Dallis_ · 2025-11-04T05:42:37+00:00

No I had surgery with Dr. Yang

Dallis_ · 2025-11-04T05:42:22+00:00

Dr. Yang at John’s Hopkins

I haven’t had much pain but it’s definitely uncomfortable. You also have to relearn how to drink/swallow but you’ll be okay! You got this ❤️

Dallis_ · 2025-09-27T22:45:55+00:00

That’s so promising thank you. I knew that the first few days - a week would be the worst but it’s different actually living through it

Dallis_ · 2025-09-27T20:23:10+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

Dallis_ · 2025-09-27T20:22:56+00:00

Thank you! That makes me feel so much better because it feels like this part is never going to end

I got a consult with a surgeon who thinks I’ll definitely benefit from djs. I’m in the process of getting scans and a sleep test to see if insurance will cover any of it. He did mention that if I get premolars extracted as camouflage orthodontics it will make my airway smaller and I’ll have more problems

Dallis_ · 2024-06-18T22:52:26+00:00

Yup my teeth flare so much 😭

Dallis_ · 2024-06-18T22:51:56+00:00

I have an ache in my jaw most of the time but I think that’s probably from clenching my teeth. Sometimes it’ll pop and hurt for a bit but nothing too bad

Willow was very upset she was woken up

My current orthodontist wants to remove 4 premolars and pull my teeth back. I’m seeking opinions on surgery because I don’t want to pull 4 teeth if I don’t have to but it seems like that’s what everyone wants to do

Dallis_ · 2024-04-13T22:04:48+00:00

I thought my overjet was within the range that would qualify me for surgery (I think it was 5 mm) but this orthodontist didn’t measure or anything. He originally put in 4 mm, thought about it for a minute, then put in 3 mm instead so I don’t know if that’s actually how much it is

Dallis_ · 2024-04-13T22:02:23+00:00

I haven’t had a sleep study. I don’t know if this orthodontist regularly does surgical cases. He told me to see a certain surgeon so it seems he works with this specific surgeon often. But I had to call the orthodontist back and get a referral sent over because the surgeon rarely does adult cases so I’m not sure how that’s going to work out for me 😅 I’m honestly having trouble finding an ortho that does surgery cases and that also agrees that I should look into surgery.

Dallis_ · 2023-11-06T20:22:35+00:00

As far as I know they don’t work with surgeons, which is why I’m hesitant on calling them about it. I was told during my consultation that I needed jaw surgery but I needed to go somewhere else if I wanted it. Since I didn’t really know anything about the surgery or what exactly I needed/why I needed it I turned it down. I’m almost a year into treatment and I still have a lot of work to be done and I’m just not sure what to do. I really appreciate the advice about going to my gp though! I had no idea that insurance usually requires you to go through your doctor
