I finished orthodontic treatment around August 2020, and now it’s been 3 years! I had braces for a little over 2 years. At first, I went in for orthodontic treatment because of my crooked tooth, but they said I needed to treat my jaw issues first, so I did jaw correction for a few months first, and then started braces. For the jaw correction, my mouth didn’t open well and it made clicking sounds, so they said it would be better to treat it before orthodontics. I had a consultation, wore an appliance at night so I wouldn’t clench my teeth while sleeping, and got machine treatment? a few times at the clinic. After my jaw treatment was all done, I started orthodontics. I only had my wisdom teeth extracted and didn’t have any other extractions, so they said my mouth could protrude slightly, but after finishing orthodontics, I feel like there wasn’t any major change?? Now I’m just wearing my retainer about 3-4 times a week when I sleep hahaha I think the orthodontic period was hard, but now I don’t really remember it well,,,ㅎ Anyway, while having braces, I developed a habit of brushing carefully with things like a Waterpik and dental floss, so that part is goodㅎ
I heard that the director who treated me moved somewhere else around the time I finished, so I’ll keep the clinic private,,
