Is this a website or something that can help me understand what dentists are telling me?
Heres the deal...
I went to a dentist today for a free consultation to do Invisalign on me. He checked my mouth out and noticed that I grind my teeth a lot and said i need to drop the habit or it is possible that i will no longer have teeth within 5 years and im only 18 years old.
I need only minor spacing done, which is why i want to go with invisalign but he told me that traditional braces are better for me cause of my teeth.
First of all, im really scared about what he said concerning not having teeth. He said I could possibly need to get something at this early age...im not sure what he said... please help...
Any dentists in the room? feel free to email me at quakingbagman here on yahoo.
* I want to get rid of the spacing on my minor, both upper and lower and also keep my teeth, the stop grinding thing deal.
He said I should get the roots pulled forward and backwards or something.
Scared!

Only your dentist can answer your questions. We don't even know what he told you, because you don't know either! If you are really serious about this, go back and talk to him, even if you have to pay for it.
Then take his advice! If he says braces are better, then do it. If the spacing is only minor, you shouldn't have to wear them too long. I know at your age, looks are really important, but the braces these days are pretty neat! And think of the results when the do come off!
You do need to quit grinding your teeth. I knew a man who's teeth were flat across the top in front---not a pretty sight. I saw him a couple of years later, and at first couldn't place why he looked different. He'd had to have all of his teeth removed and was wearing dentures. He said his teeth were ground down so far that they hurt all the time.
So get back to that dentist, and get those choppers fixed! You will be SO glad you did!
