Thanks to everyone for their input on my tooth/gum pain. It has subsided for now, and I'm silly and haven't made a dentist appointment yet. But I so will!
I had my latest adjustment this past Tuesday, and it is the first adjustment in which my teeth haven't been sore afterward. I had my old, silver powerchain replaced with a fancy red one; which, oddly enough, seems less noticeable than the silver one. Go figure.
I still have this annoying gap in my bottom teeth, but Dr. Arango says it's closing. "It just takes awhile," he told me. Argh! My next appointment is August 22, and that is when we're supposed to look at surgeons. I hope this pesky gap is closed by then. Already, though, I can't fit my tongue all the way in it, like I could a few days ago.
I saw some pictures a few days ago of myself from the side... my bottom lip sticks out so much! It looks like someone punched me. I'm really hoping to have my surgery in December, after this next semester is over. Hoping, hoping...
Take care!

I was looking at your before pictures, and you are beautiful! But, it's funny, I have the same concern about my jaw as well. It always looks so huge to me. Especially when I see myself in pictures. Mine is also crooked and it just drives me crazy. Hopefully after surgery, we will both look exactly as we hope!
Oh, and I just started a blog about my experiences as well and have set up a link to yours (let me know if that's not ok). Please feel free to check mine out, we can follow along with each other's progress! :) http://kellysnewsmile.blogspot.com/
