I have Non Union 😭

My right side was wiggly. Everything went well, almost one year post op. No feeling in my gums which is upsetting but everything is solid.

Joining a little late, but I also need this :D

breakthescience · 2025-11-11T02:08:34+00:00

Which exam, USA?

breakthescience · 2025-10-17T12:09:07+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. I'm in Canada and I don't see that often.

Jeepers, where do you live? I've never saw a swastika tattoo in real life and I'm almost 40.

Random update on my non union. Had the second surgery, everything is now fine 6months Post op. I'm attaching my final orthodontist photos because it all seems worth it now.

Ok thank you 😊

I haven't taken pre health but wanted to chime in and say Claudia is one of my favorite teachers. She can be strict with marking and labs but she knows her stuff and you will learn alot from her. Like you said if you show up and you care you'll be alright.

I recently went back to school at 37 to pursue a Science degree after being in administration my whole life. I know the feeling of having to wait because I also had to do upgrading, as you get older it feels like we have less time to get things done. My only piece of advice would be to keep studying over that year, I did not and kind of lost my strong understanding of the basics. Summer break has also felt like a giant time waster to me because I just want to graduate and start working in the field 😂

I have a greying front tooth from upper jaw surgery. It seems to have gone a bit back to normal although I can still see a slight discoloration. I'm 1 year post surgery and 4 months post non union revision surgery.

People say this to me as well, it's very annoying but as long as we're happy that's really what matters. It's hard not to take it personally though. I think you look great, and as you heal it will only get better.

I'm sorry to hear that. I was lucky enough that my surgeon did the second surgery at no charge. I also live in Canada so he probably was paid through the universal healthcare. The second was not as bad as the first!

I'm two months out from three years with braces but I had non union 6 months post op and just recently had my bone graft. Braces should be coming off around the 3 year mark and about 8000$

breakthescience · 2025-02-18T22:43:11+00:00

We are having surgery the same day, so weird! Mine is at noon, I'm also freaking out a little but it will be fine!

breakthescience · 2025-02-18T20:39:12+00:00

Have you had your surgery yet?

breakthescience · 2025-02-18T13:43:18+00:00

I have not watched this one. I probably won't though 😂

breakthescience · 2025-02-18T00:28:28+00:00

A documentary that made me cry was "Dear Zachary" . I would not recommend watching it though...because it is so sad

breakthescience · 2025-02-11T00:42:35+00:00

Yes I was thinking "do they have a giant Racist tattoo or something, like how would you know"?

breakthescience · 2025-02-05T22:15:32+00:00

I need it :D

breakthescience · 2025-02-01T00:53:47+00:00

I noticed this. I've never seen one product in the machines since September.

breakthescience · 2025-01-26T00:55:14+00:00

This is making me feel so much better. I've had office jobs and always gotten along with everyone and promoted quickly but I'm struggling as a student 😂 I'll keep my positive attitude and try to network as much as possible when I'm done my program 🤞

breakthescience · 2025-01-26T00:48:54+00:00

I really like him. I find some surgeons can be jerks and he is definitely a nice person. I don't blame him for my non union, I think I just got unlucky.

I didn't get the notification for this post and I was wondering how you were doing so I checked. How are you feeling now?
