(Concern) Complex issues involving dental implants (single tooth extraction) and orthodontics (molar malocclusion)
Sigh... I really feel like sighing even before writing...ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ I once had a hard food and it broke, so I got a crown. Then I ate some hard rice crust and the remaining tooth inside broke (all the way to the root...). In the end, I was told I couldn't use the remaining tooth, so they removed the crown and my tooth... That was in early March. I was thinking of getting an implant without much thought, but the dentist told me I have a malocclusion in my molars... I had orthodontics when I was young, but I wasn't aware of it. After hearing the explanation and seeing it myself, I realized my molars don't align properly...
But if I get implants, orthodontic treatment becomes difficult... So I have to decide whether to do orthodontics before the implant, but my molar is really tilted and leaning, so it’s going to be a major procedure... Since it’s a local dental clinic, they told me to go to an orthodontic specialist... ㅜㅜㅜ But I have to visit various places for consultations, and I don’t have much time, so I’ve only managed to visit two places so far, and both say it’s quite serious and recommend orthodontics.
I had orthodontics when I was young, but now I have to do it again... and on top of that, the treatment methods are so different that I'm confused. One place is pulling the molars on the opposite side to fill the gap and align the bite (no implant needed), while the other place is straightening the fallen molars to align the bite and placing implants. I'm thinking of visiting about two more places first, but just the thought of wearing braces again in my 30s and undergoing two years of orthodontic treatment makes me really anxious...
Putting aside the money, I can't believe I have to go through that hell again... Sigh... 😢😢😢 If I tighten it once a month, it hurts so much I can't even chew properly... When I was young, my front teeth were all over the place, so the dentist I went to back then only focused on aligning my front teeth... I'm so angry... I’ve been commuting from Pohang to Daegu every month since elementary school for orthodontics... I went through all that hardship, and now I have to do it again...
I've been unaware until now, but I'm wondering if it's truly the right thing to do to start now... It's a major renovation that won't be finished in a month or two... Sigh... What do you think you would do in my place??
