The Four Stages of My Maxillofacial Surgery

I just realised that my home page was infected by the MW:ANOMALY:SP8 malware virus. I am not sure how it got there but I have cleaned my web site files and reinstalled everything.

You may have seen the warning above when you visit this web site but it should go away soon.

I did a scan of my web site and there is no malware on my web site at the moment. I am working with Google to take my site off the blacklist right now.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.… Read more…

For the past 2 months or so, all the emails that were sent from this web site landed into my Gmail’s spam folder! I just went to remove all the emails I could from the spam folder but I guess some of them were deleted any way.

I also just found out that some readers have been sending me messages on Facebook. I had no idea the messages existed because I didn’t know the “Other” section of the messages existed until today.… Read more…

I recently moved from Singapore to Sydney, Australia and I am still wearing my braces. I am looking for a good orthodontist to continue my post-jaw surgery orthodontic treatment so that I can deband my braces.

I have not started looking because I need to research about dental and health insurance that could subsidise my dental fees. I do not have the Australian Medicare benefits and I have to pay 100% for all my dental fees here.

Hopefully, I will get this sorted out soon because I have been wearing my braces for over 2 years now!… Read more…

I am currently in Sydney and I am not going back until my Australian permanent residence visa is finalised.

As a result, I have missed my dental appointment in Singapore and my braces are not going to be removed until I go back to Singapore.

What’s worse? My lower left teeth is not aligned properly with the upper teeth and now I have a bit of an open bite on the lower left side and my lower midline is slightly off.

I emailed my orthodontist and he told me to stop using the rubber bands on the right side and focus on using only one rubber band in front.

I may have to continue my post-surgery orthodontic treatment in Sydney because I will be staying here from now on. I just hope that I do not need to delay my orthodontic treatment for too long because I am very sick … Read more…

I’ve had braces since May 2009 and it has been 2 years 4 months.

I did not expect to be wearing braces 1 year after my double jaw surgery. I thought I would need only 6 months after my jaw surgery but it has taken over a year.

My orthodontist said I will have my braces removed in October or November. He said there is a little bit more on the lower left teeth that requires a bit more time.

I need to wear these tiny rubber bands at night to align my teeth to the orthodontist’s desired position. I use them almost every night because I really want to get these things out of my mouth as soon as possible.
