Crooked teeth? Our author had it almost her whole life. Now an orthodontist should optimize the teeth. The road to the decision was bumpy and full of surprises – also from a financial point of view. A personal experience report.
There was a time in my life when my teeth stood straight. I was around 14 years old and had my fixed braces removed from my upper and lower jaw. After the appointment, I marveled at the result in the mirror: my teeth were lined up like a string of pearls. Perfect. It had taken three years to get here – and a total of three braces, a good dozen appointments with the orthodontist and numerous episodes with aching teeth.
But the new teeth didn’t last long. A month to be exact.
