Oy vey...dentist consultation [View all]

Bear with me reading my constant troubles. My molars don't meet in the back, front teeth moved forward, teeth removal destabilized my bite arch, yadda yadda...25k to "worst-case-scenario" 32k.

I left the office a zombie. This is a good, skilled ethical specialist. I don't need another opinion at this point. Theyve taken every diagnostic available and showed me all the data. Theyll work to do just what needs to be done for function.

So... I'm gutted. I do, now, have some information that's sinking in and I'm processing it. Not knowing was stressful.

Thank you all. Might try weaning off the orthotic first and see what happens.
