Wisdom Teeth

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

Well, I had all four taken out at once.  One of my bottom ones hadn't broken gum yet and all of them *apparently had extremely deep roots.  The somewhat braindead surgeon said that it would be extremely difficult and I *needed* to be put out.  I hate being put out...

I was eating in the car on the way home, no swelling or anything.  I went to a party the next day, karate after that and finally school.  I had no trouble whatsoever.  I think the doctor was over dramatisizing it...

I only had 2. Though actually right now I can't remember if it was top or bottom. I got them out AFTER my mission...they never bothered me, but I had to have some other oral surgery (removal of an odontoma that was blocking a tooth from coming down) and they suggested just doing it at the same time, and it sounded like a good idea to me. I was completely out, though I vaguely remember some tugging feeling. It took an hour longer than they said it would, and I'm pretty sure I went home and went to bed. It's kind of a blur though, really. I can't really remember -_-. I guess it wasn't a big deal or I would have.

I was happiest about getting that tooth in finally, since that started the process for the eventual removal of my braces.

I didnt have to have mine pulled all four grew in straight with plenty of room, although they are very sharp and pointy like the rest of my teeth. bbut when I got my braces on I ate jack in the box ultimate cheeseburger twenty minutes afterwards.

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

Pfft.  Braces don't hurt.

[Maxwell]

when you have a british smile they do.

[Tekiel]

Don't hurt?!  I had speghettios for two days afterwards, and chewing those hurt my teeth!

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

I've had braces on and off again four times, and out of experience I am telling you, they do not hurt.  You have just been brainwashed is all...

[Tekiel]

four . . . times . . .

??

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

Long story short, my genetics suck.

They were put on when I was about 5th (?) grade.  Then taken off to do some surgery, on again, off to shift the teeth with a retainer, on again (7th grade?), off because they thought they got it to the point where I didn't need them, on again because they were wrong, and off again a little more than a year ago.  Now I have a retainer and I'm told I might need them again...

[Maxwell]

actually that sounds more like your orthodontist sucks, not your genetics.

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

No, my teeth lining is very difficult.  I know it's genetics because my sister has it even worse than I do.  My orthadontist is doing fine except that one time they got it wrong.  But it's hard to tell because my teeth are stubborn.

[Maxwell]

it cant be that bad...trust, my front teeth were sideways, my canines were a quarter of a millimeter too long(_ like that long) oh and I had six extra teeth on the bottom(my adult teeth came in, then six of them fell out {with the braces on} and came in again)

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

My sister required a jaw operation including them breaking her jaw and wiring it shut for several weeks.

[Maxwell]

ouch...I concede, although that was you *sister* not *you*

[GorgonlaVacaTremendo]

I thought we were talking about that, since I said she had it worse then me.  Yes, you probably had it worse then me, I concede to that.
