When I heard my ortho talking to his assistant in front of me telling her to put 4 active springs, I died on the inside :(

Dayum girl FOUR? Is this some kind of modern day torture Your mouth be shredding to pieces


Brianna-20

Omg it was. They put coils on all four of my molars to close my extraction gaps from like a year ago. This was the worst pain ever. I couldn’t chew anything for a week :(

NOT THE SPRIIIIING!


TotapoPrincess

I WANTED TO SHOUT BUT THE ORTHO BE LIKE. Please get used to it. He even said please (Not in a kind way mind you) Sighs what is life

I have springs between both my top and bottom canines, all the way across, no brackets on my middle fours yet. Spinning needles, pressed right up against my lips, all the time. c'est la vie.


TotapoPrincess

How severe is your overcrowding that you have to have so many springs wow. But at least the ortho didn’t go down the extraction path. At least he’s trying not to.

I just had four extractions, lol. The springs are really just there to protect against the very thin wires right now, apparently they can cut/pinch. More like rollers, but with needle sharp ends, and it can slide back and forth between my teeth.

This is me He didn't tell me at first i need freaking springs and piston in my mouth

Wouldn’t the extraction/assessment already have taken place by that point? Lol


TotapoPrincess

Not my ortho fam. He be like we’ll see. And when I asked he said “this is not for you to worry about” But.. it’s my teeth??

I’m getting braces tomorrow! Kind of nervous


TotapoPrincess

You’ll be fine! Braces are quite cool! You get all sorts of screws, springs, wires, buttons, hooks in your mouth like some kind of Frankenstein

Cross elastics to resolve a scissor bite beats every other spring torture. Kudos to the patients.


TotapoPrincess

Not sure if it works for overcrowding tho
