I had malocclusion where my teeth bit together too deeply, so my jaw would sometimes hurt ㅠ I went to the dentist for cavity treatment, and for the first time I heard, before even talking about the cavity, that I might need orthodontic treatment, and I was like, huh? Then, on a friend’s recommendation, I visited an orthodontics-specialty clinic near my school, got a consultation, and started orthodontic treatment.
My teeth were very small and there were lots of gaps between them, so I didn’t have any extractions.~ They also told me to avoid pulling my wisdom teeth if possible and just manage and use them well, so I’m still using my wisdom teeth well~~
What’s good about orthodontics! My teeth are even! And my jaw doesn’t hurt anymore?? But ㅠㅠㅠㅠ my gums seem to have gotten much weaker; they were already bad, but even more so... Especially during orthodontic treatment, they’d bleed at the slightest thing. After the treatment ended, it doesn’t seem to be that bad now!!
Everyone, please think carefully before getting orthodontics ㅠ Your gums can get weaker, and the retainers inside your teeth have to be kept on for a long time to maintain the result; I always end up crushing Shin Ramyun noodles and ㅠㅠ they come off, ahhh.... I have to go to the dentist often, ahhh........ I’m so lazy
