Orthagnathic Surgery.Well Worth the Wait - Birmingham, GB

So I’ve had my top veneers all done last year.. still waiting to have the bottom ones finished but happy with my result so far :)
The process of getting the veneers was actually longer than expected and also quite sore ! They “shaved” my natural teeth right down (uncomfortable) before fitting some temporary veneers while they made my permanent ones...
I got to choose the colour and shape I wanted although my restorative specialist had a lot of say in what he thought would suit my face and I think he did an amazing job.
It did take some adjusting and took a while for me to get used to my new teeth but after a few months I started to forget I’d had them done until someone complimented me on them! I’ll never crunch an apple again and there are lots of recommendations to keep them in good condition.. they say they should last about ten years before I would need them doing again...either way I’d highly recommend :)

I keep forgetting it's only been 15 months ago since my surgery.. It feels like a lifetime ago! Mad!
Well, since my last post I've had a few appointments In preparation for my ameliogenesis imperfecta treatment and have finally got a consultation with a registrar booked for the 22nd August to start planning my veneers.
I'm relatively happy with everything at the moment... Still get a bit self conscious about everything from time to time and a bit of toothache occasionally but definitely in a better place now than I was before and just after the surgery.
Still hate photos because I can't show my teeth... also feel like my jaw is just so long lol.. But starting to accept that it's just the way I'm made....( Who wants to look the same as everyone else anyway?!)
Trying not to get a date in my head for when my teeth will be finished as i don't want to be disappointed.. So just going to go with the flow, ride the waves, que sera,sera and all that... Lol
Ill add some new pics taken this week too.
Thanks for reading!
Be happy :)

Sooo my suspicions were correct, I'm not on the system for my veneers after all. I put in a complaint yesterday and spoke to a lady today who, to be fair, was lovely.she first told me my case was due to be reviewed about July time but due to a backlog at ortho,it could take longer.. to say I was disappointed is an understatement. (had a cry)... I told her It should have been done in 5-6 months and i had already been waiting since September last year.. So she said she would get back to me ..cue the waiting game. I feel so frustrated and fed up now, my self esteem is so low I don't feel like I can talk to people :(... I'm turning 26 next month and want to save for my own place,I only work part time and get anxious about working with people for too long at the moment..and I'm not the daughter of a millionaire.. ! so there's no way I can afford to get them done privately. It annoys me that so many people take advantage of the nhs all the time but the people who actually work and need the treatment have to wait ridiculous time for anything to be done! I'm lucky it's only my teeth but it's happening across the board to people who are really ill!
Nevertheless I just watched a Disney film and ate some comfort food. It helped.
