my teeth: update number 5

well as some of you may know as of yesterday i no longer have braces! my teeth seem pretty good except for the discoloration of the one 'dead' tooth, but on tuesday that may be fixed. dr. ball, my endodontist, may begin a bleaching treatment to match the color of my other teeth. i'll know more as of tuesday. here are some pictures from this whole ordeal:

this is from right before i had the braces put on.

and this is today:


so thank you to all of you have supported me through this whole ordeal. have a lovely weekend much love and peace, dmaloney

my teeth: update number 2

today i visit the dentist who sent me to the orthodontist who sent me to the endodontist who sent me back to the orthodontist. after all this running around and x-rays at all the specialists the orthodontist decided to put braces on. along with an appliance so i can bite down comfortably. so i'm back to brace face. and absolutely no physical activity for one month. i'm also not allowed to play any instruments until the orthodontist clears me. it was a pretty crazy afternoon and evening, but i'm on my way to a long recovery.

dentist report: x-rays, the one tooth may have some nerve damage.

orthodontist: x-rays, pictures, mold for the appliance, visit the endodontist to check for viability on the two teeth.

endodontist: x-rays, cold temperature test, teeth are viable!!

orthodontist: put braces on, fit appliance, took more pictures.

so that was my monday. much love and peace, dmaloney

my teeth: update number 1

i'll give a solid post tomorrow hopefully after i visit the dentist. if you haven't seen or heard what's going on i'll fill you in.

saturday i took the sat's after i headed over to softball practice. we started warming up the pitchers and a couple minutes later i took a wrist flick to the mouth. fortunately my teeth didn't fall out and there not loose, but they did shift back. so tomorrow i'll visit the dentist so they can assess what can be made of this situation. i'll let you all know more as soon as i know.

prayers for a speedy and relatively pain-free recovery would be greatly appreciated. thank you to all! much love and peace, dmaloney
