I got to pick up the model of my jaw from the orthodontist, which I’ll bring to the oral surgeon.


It’s 3D printed from scans they took of my teeth. A lot has improved since the last time I had models made (late 90s), when they used that gum that hardens into a mold. It took longer to take the scans than it took to make the gum harden, and it was pretty hard to get the wand behind my back teeth… there’s a lot less room back there than normal people have. But they got it, and the models look really nice.
