I had my follow-up visit with the oral & maxillofacial surgeon this last week, following the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (see blogs passim, St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and Broken Face).
It turns out that I don’t need to have surgery on my jaw to correct my occluded bite after all (although I could still have it for cosmetic reasons for $8,500!), which is a relief, although I do still need some more bite correction (i.e. sanding my teeth down) and possibly some orthodontic work (braces! At my age!).
So, it’s back to the dentist.
