This morning I went to my dentist off post to get fitted for my night guard. Would you believe it didn't fit.
It was more than just getting it trimmed down. No matter what the dentist tried the thing wouldn't fit. It was warped.
So my dentist decided to work on the high spots on my teeth where it hurts when I bite and chew. I had many fillings put in over the last few months and she explained that when dental work is done the bite changes. Hopefully chewing on the right side won't be so painful now.
New impressions were made of the upper and lower teeth and the tech promised the dentist she'd make the molds directly so as to prevent the impressions from being damaged. I have no clue as to who's fault it was that the night guard was so warped. It could have been the fact that the first impressions weren't done right, the first molds weren't done right or quite possibly the place they sent them off to didn't do the acrylic night guard in the proper environment and it warped while cooling.
I just hope that in two weeks when I have to go in yet again that it fits properly this time. I don't think my teeth changed that much in two weeks from the last set of impressions.
I need to get this out of the way before I delve deeper into the IVF.
Oh and though my husband still hasn't called me he was able to send me an email at 0300hrs. I'm guessing his shift doesn't correspond to mine and he is afraid to wake me. Thoughtful of him but I'd still love to hear his voice and it doesn't matter what time of day or night he calls as long as I hear his voice. A middle of the night call from anyone else, of course, is always unwanted, especially the butt dialing and crank callers.
