Hello there, been lurking around here for a while and now looking for advice.
I have been embarrased by my teeth since childhood. I had a very strange experience at the orthadontist with very unkind words being said when I wouldnt wear my brace regularly. I have had anxiety issues from a young age and personality disorder. Now in my mid 40's these issues are not as prevelent as they once were and I am starting to try to rebuild the damage thats been done to various parts of my body.
I would also add at this point I have only just regularly started brushing my teeth.
I have hardly any back teeth, I have an upper front tooth missing and goodness knows what else. I have self medicated dental pain for many years as I was in denial I had an issue. The fear of pain has also been a huge thing in my life.
Where do I start? My jaw pretudes and I have always felt its ugly, I have never smiled in all of my adult life (if that makes sense) is it too late to get my teeth straightened?
Any advice would be greatly recieved
