Me!

OK so, here are some photos so you can see what I am working with. High palate, V shaped bite, teeth are collapsing in. My actual TMJ's are OK but that neck is very straight and still gives me a lot of trouble. Visible over bite, and lots of sinus issues. Always hard to breathe. This may be why I yawn constantly whenever I try to get active and therefore hate exercise? My lungs give out way before my legs ever do so can I blame my fluffiness on this? Eghh?  




Also, look closely and you'll see I don't actually have a bite! None of my back teeth touch at all 🙁
I called and made the appointment to get the ($300) evaluation with the periodontist, which will be April 25th at lunch time. The receptionist seems adorable and booked me a spot where I will have time to ask 500 questions. Love her already. 
They will do the CBCT and give me all the details and let me know how routine or special I will be. If I am not a chicken poo, I will book the procedure to have it placed! Eeek. 
Also, as a quick estimate, the ortho quoted me around $8200. and she estimated the perio will be $1300. So total is $9,500 out of pocket. For me to fix all of my lifetime chronic issues... all while cracking open my own skull.
