Today I had another ortho appointment, and learned a couple of things: First, I'm now sporting two scalene triangles in my mouth. Dr. Wong can do wonders with rubber bands! I actually never knew what a scalene triangle was, but apparently it refers to triangles that have uneven sides. It was nice to review my geometry!
Second, and most important, Dr. Wong wants to start seeing me in three-week intervals. So I'm really getting towards the end of my orthognathic journey. I am so encouraged and giddy about this closure. Yes, I'm a broken record - I can't wait to be brace free!
And another thing - I told Dr. Wong about my lower jaw. I don't know why, but I can move my lower jaw to the left, but I can't move it to the right. So when I'm not sporting my cool scalene triangles, I'm supposed to be exercising my lower jaw so that I'll be able to move it the right. If I don't, Dr. Wong said that it will affect how I bite. Which means I'm doing my jaw exercises while blogging! :0)
