A Day of Appointments

Today was a very full day of appointments. Rachel and I left the house about 7:30 and did not get home until 5:00pm!!

First appointment was with our dentist, Dr. Hoffer, for a crown on a tooth that is transposed in her mouth and was going to impact her new jaw alignment based on molds that had been taken. The crown took just over 2 1/2 hours, but when it was all said and done, Dr Hoffer did an amazing job on the crown and it should work out perfectly.  

SideNote: I absolutely love our dentist!! He's gentle, kind, very knowledgable, and up to date on the latest and greatest dental techniques. His wife is a pediatric dentist whom the girls went to for many years! 

After her crown was down, she switched chairs and had a routine cleaning. After almost 4 hours at the dentist office, it was lunch at Chick Fil A, and a trip into Home Goods and Walmart. 

Next appointment was out in Beaumont, with Dr Carter, Rachel's orthodontist. Thankfully they have a CT Scan machine in office that takes the scans that Dr Martin needs for planning out surgery. So new CT scans, new molds, a new bracket on the crowned tooth, and new wires and rubber bands. 

Everything is stabilized for no additional movement prior to surgery and we won't see the Orthodontist again until the week before surgery. 

A trip through the McDonalds drive thru for a McFlurry and then on the road home. Getting home just before 5:00pm. It was a very long day. Rachel's  mouth is sore. But everything was necessary to keep on track with surgery in a month.
