Tony,

Very Good Morning!
It's 7:00AM EST here and slow is allover here in Philly.

First of all, thank you so much for precise attention to my recovery and replies to my posts. I feel too fortunate to be here. Honestly, I maintain strict protocol of self motivation and rock steady attitude/approach to treat this guest "C".
Luckily I have multiple mentors here who encouraged me to get through this flawlessly. I saw your reply to Fish, kindly for your info, we are in touch over FB and sharing experiences. We enjoyed video chat and gained confidence a lot. He is running a month ahead of my treatment, so its truly easier to follow pattern and his experience footprint. I am so glad to have such an extraordinary leverage in this high tech age. All blessed and thanks to god for enormous moral an spiritual power.
Definitely, I will posted here all developments. BTW, 24 Feb I am going to see RO first time to discuss second phase treatment blue print. After that I'll bring more updates.
One question I have is, my dentist examined my tooth and said everything looks great and you are good to go for Rads. But he denied to make FL treys saying it's hard to take impression of your jaws since mouth is not fully opened. SO he gave me disposable treys for a month, use and throw kind of thing. My question is,
Do I need a custom fit treys during the treatment? Is it
Is it mandatory / must to have treys right before Rads?

Thanks


Special thanks to OCF and all respected members here for their support
