Final Orthodontic Appointment!

Published August 8, 2016 by k3bab87

Monday 8th August 2016

So, firstly – I never received that phone call back last week so I rang them on Friday and apparently his response was ‘oh I did promise her, didn’t I?’…..so to me, hes forgotten about me!!

Back to the orthodontist this morning. She did lots of finalising things and asked if I had another appointment. I said that I was seeing her on 30th August but was told she was on holiday so not got anything else booked. They finally cancelled that appointment.

She said she was going to put my SURGICAL HOOKS on at the next appointment but because there has been some c*ck up, she is going to do them today! Just means they’ll be on for a bit longer than normal.

I explained the situation with the phone call last week and she said she’s done with me now – its just a case of waiting for a phone call or letter from Mr Smith. She said he is one of those surgeons whose really organised and so should be able to fit me in for September / October. I said “really?! coz Septembers only next month, and know there’s a bit of prep beforehand”. She said that her bit (the surgical hooks) is all she does and the rest (wafers / splints) is what Mr Smith does. She said she was going to email him to tell him im ready etc and to chase up…..Im still going to ring on a weekly basis. I will no doubt get on their nerves but as I said to the dentist and her assistant, I just want a date so I can start planning things.

She has said that I will see her on 4th October for a check up (if not heard anything before then)

So still no further!!!

Piccy of surgical hooks!!! (Sorry the pic is awful!)

  • Wow surgical hook are long-ish. My ortho said they aren’t long. I’ve got TINY hooks on mine, but they are not surgical (always had them). I’ll take a proper pic for the blogs one day!! But she said they won’t be any bigger than whatever the hell I have on my braces haha. I don’t think I believe that. I am prepared for the huge surgical hooks to be put on!!! xx
