I lived without feeling any particular functional problem, so I never thought about orthodontic treatment, but after I turned 20, I found out that my teeth had an issue where they were tilted inward.
I got orthodontic treatment at a well-known dental clinic near my home, and all the doctors were very kind.
However, even though they charged a monthly fee every month, they also charged separately for every tiny detail, like scaling a very small area or retouching because the crown height didn’t fit, so it definitely wasn’t cheap just because it was a neighborhood dental clinic
What I felt after getting orthodontic treatment was:
Even aside from the regular once-a-month checkups, problems often happen, such as brackets coming off, so you end up having to go to the clinic a lot. If possible, I really hope you get orthodontic treatment somewhere close to home.
I hope you find a place where the doctor is kind. Orthodontic treatment takes a long time, and you have to see them every month during the treatment period, so if your personalities don’t match and you dread going, it’s really hard Plus, situations inevitably come up where you feel embarrassed going in, like brackets frequently coming off, and if they are even a little unfriendly, it becomes quite uncomfortable.
Do it as young as possible! Teeth generally move faster the younger you are, so you suffer less, and during orthodontic treatment it inevitably becomes harder than usual to chew food thoroughly. As you get to an age where digestive function declines, you may suffer from gastrointestinal problems
There are definitely discomforts that come from teeth not fitting together properly, so if you plan to do it, I hope you do it quickly and become more comfortable
