Hi
Heres a question
Well, Heres the Story
My dentist refered my to the orthodontist
The first time I went, the orthodontist the took impressions and pictures and said that i would need a functional brace then traintracks.
The next time I went it said on the card it said ‘ imp. tba ‘
and she took more impressions. & said that the functional brace would be for 7-9 months.
I booked another appointment, as instructed, for two weeks later, which is this coming thursday. When at reception, the receptionist said, oh its good being in the holidays, so you have a couple of days to get used to them before going back to school.
Now on the card it says ‘fit tba’ Duration 10mins
What will she do to me now. Does that mean i will get it on thursday? ( I presume she will be fitting but my real question is – DO I GET TO TAKE THEM AWAY WITH ME?)
BEST ANSWER 10 POINTS !
thanks, Sapphire

1st one (just got out of school) said to pull 2 upper pre-molars; 2nd one (years of exp.) said to pull 2 upper and 2 lower pre-molars; third one said extraction likely but couldn’t make a diagnosis until seeing all the x-rays, impressions and photos (wanted to make sure no jaw problems too). The 3rd one also pointed out my grinding problem.
I have over an overbite with 2 bunny teeth on top; Lower teeth are also crowded and sort contours upward in the middle forming a “ridge” with recession (from brushing too hard?). Am I a difficult case?
(This is a followup of my last question.)

Okay we found a nice location for sale and we want to build our first home on it! My husband recently finished orthodontics school but worked as a dentist while he was in orthodontics school so we have some money saved up and would like to build a nice little home for us and our brand new baby! We are currently living in an apartment. Here’s what we’d like our house to be like…
1 story. 3 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. Kitchen. Dining area. Family room and a small porch out back.
We are thinking of making it out of brick.
I would LOVE for it to be made out of stone and wood but I’m thinking that would make it cost a lot more am I right? And if so how much more?
We arent plannning on have a living room, is that a buy idea and will it make it harder to sell?
I’m just wondering what you would estimate a house like this costing? Thanks for you answers!

And please….don’t mention America…I know there are great countries in Norway/Sweden/Denmark who have amazing social systems…just want to hear more about places who really look after the people.
EG: Did you know that Denmark has dentists in the SCHOOLS. Every child has their teeth, including orthodontics (braces) looked after the entire time they attend school….for free.

I am a freshman at a small liberal arts school and am trying to decide what I want to major in. I have considered psychology, along with orthodontics, and nursing. What are some other rewarding health care jobs that I could enjoy. I want to have a hands on job; I could not stand working behind a desk everyday. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Does anyone know if you need more schooling to be a dental hygienist for an orthodontic doctor? Do they get paid better in orthodontics than they do in normal dentistry?
