So yes, I will be having braces soon.
Have to get extraction as well, 2 top 2 bottom.
The thought of having to pull out healthy, permanent adult teeth just sends shivers down my spine. I'm not worried about the physical pain. But more of the heart pain that my 4 teeth would be gone forever.
My bottom row teeth isn't even that crooked or overcrowded. ); Maybe i should ask the dentist whether i can skip pulling out the 2 teeth at the bottom row.
I've read like pages and pages on the repercussions of extractions on jaw structure and making your lips look receded. It gets even worse as you age.

& i was told i might need jaw surgery to improve my profile cause i have a receding chin. But i would start off with elastic bands first in hope to improve the positioning of my jaws.
Sigh. It's just very depressing to think of all the money needed to be spend on improving my facial and dental structure.
What can i do? Genes lor. Not like i choose all of these.
Sometimes i just think that it is easier to end my life than to spend all these money trying to correct the problems horrible genes gave me.
To think about it, we are all going to die one day so what's the point of spending money, going through so much pain right?

This is getting a little personal. I shall pen the rest of my thoughts in my diary.
