I had 4 teeth extracted and got braces in 2016.
At first,
Reasons I wanted braces
1. Crowded teeth made brushing uncomfortable 2. Because of the protruding crowded teeth, I kept biting the inside of my mouth while eating and sometimes bled 3. When I smiled, my buck teeth showed, so even when people tried to make me laugh I would pretend not to laugh and smile with my mouth covered 4. It wasn’t a prognathic jaw case with a protruding lower jaw, but my chin had a jutting 느낌
Once I actually got it done, all of the above got resolved.
I don’t bite the inside of my mouth anymore, and I just smile without covering my mouth now. Brushing is easier too. As for the chin issue, since it’s a bone issue, it doesn’t change dramatically, but it does seem to have changed slightly.
If you want it for reasons like mine, I highly recommend it haha
After finishing braces, I’m still using the fixed retainer on the inside.
It cost about 4 million won, and I got Clippy C? The clear one.
Very satisfied.
It was uncomfortable in many ways during treatment, but if I went back, I think I’d do it again.
