I had braces for 4 years, then got a retainer and broke it after 6 months
:pepeslippy: Never got it replaced.
My front tooth gap came back so I got clear aligners to fix it. Got another retainer that was basically another clear aligner.
I'm bad at remembering to wear my retainers. History repeats itself x.x
:lazypotato: Hadn't worn them in 2 weeks and I put them on last night.
HELLLL IN A LAVA PIT.
SO MUCH PAIN, I cried.​

:lazypotato: I wish they glued the wire behind my front teeth but they told me no. Is it hard to floss with it?

i sure hope so :blownyoungbae: one day...
:sanapray: Dear mariokartwii's ortho, free them from the glued wired.
I have braces right now. You don't want to know how long :runrunrun:
o.o okay im curious how long
No, but apparently I need them
I have some... interesting tooth placements
If you dont want them and you like your teeth as is, especially if none of them hinder your health or everyday life :icgyu: skip it
"fixing" teeth is not necessary.

"fixing" teeth is mostly for aesthetic purposes unless they tell you how and when a tooth's placement can hinder you.
Like removing wisdom teeth makes sense for many since it's been explained it overcrowds the mouth

I wish I could fix my spacing and nothing else lol
But I agree. It's not like I can afford to fix them anyway

not really scary.
I won the genetics jackpot and my mom gifted me her bad teeth. Basically causes me to have tartar very quickly so i always leave with bleeding gums.
I stopped going because our dentist is a germaphobe and during beginning of covid, Brussels had most cases so he didn't want me to come.
All the others in the area trick you in expensive treatments etc
I know i should really go to one and since I moved, it makes sense to go to a new one but i'm so embarrassed cuz it's been years

That's tough. I hope you do end up finding a dentist that can make you feel comfortable returning and doesnt pressure you into unnecessary treatments.

let's just say i spent my whole childhood with them :we_kpopsourcing: but there are valid reasons.

There were points where my braces kept breaking and i had to start over. Also it was hard for my mom to keep up with payments since it was around the time my grandma was sick. Right now the goal is to take them off since my teeth is straight :sanapray:
