@DigMe got bitten by a lone star tick and now have alpha-gal/meat allergy.
Kidding. Had braces installed a couple days ago and I literally need all food to be soft because pain. I couldn't even bite into s'mores without it hurting, not to mention the goop gunking everything up :))
Haha, definitely addressing something that should have gotten sorted many moons ago old friend. Past-me is pretty happy with the arrangement as I'm sure Future-me will be, but Me-right-now is very much regretting the decision.
And yeah, while I do admit I could stand to eat more greens I'd at least like the option to have red meat every now and again; I'm honestly rather terrified of getting bitten by one of those.
I think you had better have a lot of non-veg soup.
15 years ago, I had my teeth recrowned and had to wear a thing that moved my lower jaw backwards, as my bite was so close it basically broke my front teeth. But I only had to use it when asleep.
It was a lifetime problem addressed at 52. But it was only realised as a problem when I lost my two front teeth and couldn't wear dentures because my bite broke them
@Thad E Ginathom I have the opposite problem, my jaw's actually a bit further back than ideal so I have a pretty bad overbite. That's part of what the braces and splint are for.
I am sorry to hear that you went through that and that dentures aren't an option, but at least things are sorted now.
@YMO I'm Filipino. There is rice. There is a great volume of rice :)))
I lost so much weight when I had braces my M.D. put me on a high fat diet. Two milkshakes a day with this stuff called Weight-On. Back in those days they tightened the braces every two weeks. The whole think lasted 10 months. My condolences.
Yes, Lyander, I got it sorted with a couple of nice titanium implants. Bionic front teeth. My bottom teeth are still right up there, but sometimes I remember to stretch and relax my jaw, which seems to help.
@Ringingears argh, well at least you got to enjoy a few milkshakes? I can only hope I'm that lucky since I don't really have the time for cardio nowadays, not that I had much inclination to begin with...
And hah, sounds like we're about due for a teeth-themed superhero, @Thad E Ginathom! Hope they serve you well for many years, and that you use their powers solely for good :)
