Years of clenching had brought on the inevitable – my
formerly straight teeth had nudged to a perceptible crooked line. Time for
braces.
(Apparently, only the dentist and I can see how crooked my
lower teeth had become. And before I started this adventure, I didn’t' notice
my front teeth – the two big ones – were slightly out of alignment.)
Now, I don't have the full set of Invisalign, but some
(hopefully cheaper) shorter version. Theoretically, my life will revert to
normalcy around June. The down side – if it doesn't work, I would've spent
$3,000+ on fancy orthodontics.
There were pictures taken. And molds – four? six? Lots of
biting down "normally". Which I found difficult, because I don't know
what my normal bite feels like. I know when I clench. But on a regular, no
stress, comfortable temperature day? I haven't a clue.
Still, it must've been good enough because a month later,
the first set of trays came in.
