In middle school, my front teeth had grown diagonally from both sides, so I hated my teeth so much and was self-conscious every time I smiled But they weren’t extremely severe snaggle teeth, and it was only to the extent that I was bothered by them myself
When I went for a consultation, they said that when doing orthodontic treatment, it finishes fastest and is best to do it when you’re young, when the gums are weaker And after paying an upfront payment first, I paid 100,000 won once a month, but I haven’t seen anyone around me pay this way, and I heard people say it might be a scam
Because I wanted to get orthodontic treatment quickly, I had two upper teeth extracted and proceeded with treatment, but many people around me first made space for the teeth to move into before getting braces (they say this is much more stable later in life). I regret the method I chose, but if I had had more time and patience, I think I would have gone in the direction of making space and not extracting teeth
When you get braces, the wire is tightened once a month, and for about 10 months, after each tightening, my teeth hurt so much for a day or two that I could only eat porridge. And with braces, it’s definitely uncomfortable when smiling, when food gets stuck after eating, and with mouth protrusion and things like that
After orthodontic treatment, a few friends said, “What changed? What a waste of money,” but I truly never once thought the money was a waste, and my teeth looked so, so pretty to me and I was satisfied Before orthodontic treatment, I didn’t have a single photo of myself smiling, but afterward I took photos smiling every day. Even if the snaggle teeth aren’t severe, if you don’t like them and they stress you out, you should definitely do it. The satisfaction is really huge There were many uncomfortable things, but if I went back and had to do it again, I would
After orthodontic treatment, you must wear your retainer properly. Teeth have a tendency to return to their original position, so if you don’t wear it well, they go back Around me, there is someone who didn’t wear their retainer properly and spent another 3 million won to do only the lower teeth separately
