I don’t think I’ve mentioned anything about this at all on here, but back in March, I started wearing an orthotic to help realign my jaw. My teeth don’t line up properly, and never have, so I’ve just adapted, which caused TMJ pain, jaw popping and clicking, jaw clenching, enamel wear, and noticable wear on the jaw joint via CT scan. After wearing this hunk of acrylic in my mouth 24/7 for six months, with weekly adjustments, my dentist proclaimed me stable in September, and last week I finally got to see my orthodontist. After a small little hiccup due to not wearing the thing during the day (which I was told I didn’t have to do!), I’m cleared to get braces. The week before Christmas.
I am both excited (I don’t have to wear this orthotic anymore! One step closer to fixing my goddamn teeth/jaw issues!) and… well, I’ve had braces before. I know what’s coming. But I survived it the first time, I can do it again.
And I’ve had people ask, but no, I can’t get Invisalign. I’ve seen the models of my teeth, and I can feel the fact that none of my teeth touch. Metal braces with rubber bands are gonna be my only option, and in reality, the quickest and cheapest option anyway.
Back to the important stuff.
