This was sunday night, approx 7 hours after the injury. The lower half of my face swelled and the next day my lip was giant.
So we have no pics of the next day, but just think of a simpson's character that has a giant upper lip and a tiny lower lipthis is the brace/bracket they put on my gum after they moved the tooth as best as they could back in place, swelling was down.
Me and my clear braces that I will have for a year. I get lower braces on the bottom teeth on saturday in order to fix my bite. The impact shifted my bite out of place.
the brace on my gums removed (3 weeks after the accident) it was bloody and pussy for a few days... Gross is all I can say.
cleaned up and now waiting for the gums to heal...
So as of now, I am still on a "no chew" diet, I don't know for how much longer. My upper teeth have changed yellow because of a rinse I had to use for my gums. I go to the dentist tomorrow for a cleaning, praying it works, if not I will have yellow upper teeth and white lower teeth till I get my braces off and can bleach them. All in all the situation is pretty lame, trying to stay positive and learn all that God has for me in a silly little tooth!
