Before I had work done, my teeth were some of the worst that my orthodontist had ever seen (through no fault of my own). I have a cleft lip, which caused severe malocclusion (crowding) as well as an extra tooth.
I have had
Braces for almost 3 years,
Very painful elastic bands (they used an even stronger than usual one because of pretty bad overbite),
5 teeth removed (local anaesthetic. The extra tooth was right in the nerve endings of my cleft lip which made it incredibly painful)
A permanent wire behind my teeth
Dozens of pictures taken for medical journals
Stupid cunts stabbing my mouth
Temporary retainer
Kept my teeth very clean all throughout and brushed for 5 minutes twice a day almost every day;
Had all sorts of stupid fucking students watching
Despite a lack of calcium (neglectful mother), I've only had 3 fillings due to impeccable hygiene
Bleeding gums all the fucking time because of incompetent dental staff
Dozens of trips to a specialist hospital
I'm incredibly proud of my new teeth, as they used to be literally 1/10 deformed tier, but I'd say they're just a little below average or average now! It used to severely impact my life, being called names and it being difficult to eat. They would also cut my gums sometimes because they went OUTWARDS. I was afraid to smile because I would see that grimace. I'd either cover my hand with my mouth or not smile at all.
Anyways, people who say orthodontic work is a scam are fucking retards and it's helped me immensely. Even if my maxilla didn't grow or whatever, it was more than worth all the pain.
