Bill,

As you may recall, my surgeon thought there was an opportunity to maximize my chances of success with MMA if I had some orthodonture first.

The idea is to tip my upper incisors out (they slanted inwardly quite a lot). This way my manidible can come forward that much more.

I've had brackets placed on my upper teeth for about two months. I'm on my third wire (now stainless steel). Finally, I've had four of eight bands place on my molars (they are my least favorite).

No surgery date yet, but I would guess around 8 months.

All the best,

-Dug
