I walked into this guy's office in August of 2008...

I walked into this guy's office in August of 2008 for a consultation on Invisalign vs. lingual braces. I chose lingual braces. I should never have pursued this craziness for a few teeth I wanted corrected, one front top and two front lower. I wound up having lingual braces behind six front upper and lingual braces behind six lower. The bottom never bothered me. The top were always PAINFUL. I had a speech impediment while I wore them, and I still have a speech impediment. I've been told by a dentist recently that my bite is deep. My upper teeth always feel like they're in a vise, the back of these same teeth feel like sandpaper, and the roof bordering the upper teeth feel like sandpaper. I would have jumped off my balcony by now if chewing gum and taking nerve pain meds didn't somewhat relieve the always tight feeling of the teeth. They have never felt right since I had this barbaric procedure, and I rarely feel good.

Again, I wish I had never walked into his office in August of 2008 for a consultation on Invisalign vs. lingual braces. If you're going to go this dreadful route, then make certain that your orthodontist has had plenty of experience applying these sadistic devices. One of the top three most regrettable and misguided decisions I’ve ever made that has had a negatively pervasive impact on my life. I was in utter misery during the bracing, and I’m still in misery six years later. Think twice about getting barbaric lingual braces, particularly after decades of your teeth and bones and nerves having been set. Torture. I was way too old for this.
