My denture has alway bothered me. I think you can tolerate them but there is no quality of life like I used to have when I had all my own teeth! I always complained to my wife that it was never the same trying to eat the things I liked with a big bit of plastic in my mouth, and the denture always moved about so I was never confident meeting people or when I had an important client with my job.
I had fallen and broken my tooth when I was a teenager. The tooth had to be root treated at that time. After a few years I need a crown and a pin in it. Unfortunately a little while later the crown broke and the tooth wasn't salvegeable. It needed to be taken out and as you can imagine i was devastated that i wasting to be left with a gap at the front when I was only 29 years old.
I hated my smile. I always felt as if I was covering it up in photos and my confidence was totally shot. On my profile picture on Facebook I always had one of me in the distance and I never posted selfies of me smiling and was always teased about it by my friends. I know it sounds vain, but I was sure that if I had a good looking smile then the rest of me would be complete!
When I was young I should have got braces, but I didn't realise how important it was to have a good looking smile until later when it was too late
My teeth have always bothered me. They are quite pushed out and not straight. I should have got braces when I was younger but didn't and now I regret it!
