Would you rather feel weird or have uneven teeth?

the only thing worse than going to the dentist is not going to the dentist

go !!

my teeth are even its just a "check up" ??

im not really sure exactly what the point is so im thinking of just cancelling it and never going back

i have a retainer anyways that i can just use if they ever arent straight

That's not how a retainer works, but I'm not really surprised that you're this retarded since you think orthodontists are only for children. Go to your fucking appointment

>>17874073
You know what? Don't go. Let your teeth move back to where they were and waste the thousands you or your parents spent on braces. I don't really care

>>17874048
Not that odd. I'm 21 and still have braces.

Not op but does anyone know how serious wisdom teeth removal is? Do you have to do it or is it some trickery?

nothing serious about surgery anon. its literally all fun and game

>>17874337
It really depends on the state of your wisdom teeth.

Stop fearing that you might get mistaken/associated with teenagers. Act like an adult, get treated like one. Act like a child get treated as such. Part of being an adult is feeling comfortable with yourself, your body and its présence in the world. Ever notice how teenagers are wiggling, slouching and generally awkward? It's 50% physiological, 50% psychological. Stand up straight, chest high up, shoulders back, make eye contact, firm handshake, fix your teeth and go home.

Do you have teeth?

If the answer is yes then it is not weird to go to an orthodontist.

Go get your teeth fixed. I mean you're probably not paying for it yourself so the least you can do for the people doing it, is to grow up a bit and go to your appointments. And if you don't, call the fucking place 48 hours prior to your appointment..

It can fuck up your teeth alignment bretty gud. Had them removed 2 by 2, couldn't feel half my face for a day. No biggie really. It's jusr that prior to the opération, one of teeth pressed on a nerve and was giving me headaches so strong I would pass out from pain. Dentist prescribed 1000mg pure codeine for it... Not a bad experience overall

No it's not weird at all

I'm 22 and just started going to the orthodontist for the first time and this thought crossed my mind as well. But then I realized I'm paying for a service that is intended for people regardless of their age and it makes no difference.

Only thing that makes me feel a little childish is that my orthodontist has a defender arcade machine and I occasionally dick around with it while I wait for an appointment. I can't help that they have good taste in vidya.
