How I thought the conversation would go: congrats! Your teeth look so good, we only have a little more work to do. You should be ready for surgery within the next 6-8 months. (Yay! Happy Cassi)
How the conversation went: we want to take off all your braces. We want you to have expansion surgery and have an expander in for 4ish months. We then want to put you back in braces for 12-18 months. After 12-18 months, we will do double jaw surgery. Also, we are not going to take into consideration the past year you have spent in braces/the $4,000 you've already spent on such braces and you will owe us $7,000 for just the braces portion. (Super pissed off Cassi)
I called my old ortho in tears, told him everything and he was appalled. We have a plan, I've had braces for a year. Why are we changing the plan and starting all over??!! I wanted to get married in 2 years not still be in braces, fresh out of surgery. My next steps are to call the orthognathic surgeon to see if this new plan was his idea or the ortho. If it was the ortho, I find a new one and stick with the surgeon. If not, I have to call the university of Minnesota and see if they will take me on. If not, I will be going back to illinois and finishing my treatment there.
I'll let you all know what happens tomorrow!
