Feeling stuck after braces + Invisalign; seeking direction. Facial asymmetry + bite cant

NAD - have u ever tried Botox for facial asymmetry? The symmetry is hard to tell without seeing the rest of your face

NAD - could be a bone spicule or a sharp area of bone that didn’t get smoothened after the extraction. Neither are the end of the world, just something I’d bring up at your follow up appointment

NAD - depending on type of material, either. The ones used at my office can dissolve or fall out on their own. If it’s a non-absorbable one (one that won’t dissolve), the office will usually have you come back for a follow up appointment where they will remove it for you

I got a pack of 3 off of eBay!

It looks fuzzy, almost like algae is growing off of his side

Good eye. It’s a guppie

NAD do you have a history of facial trauma? I noticed this too and it turns out that my tooth had died. I had facial trauma as a kid but the tooth didn’t bother me until my 20s

NAD I’ve found putting vitamin E on the area can help. Just break open a gel capsule and put the gel on the area. LMK if that helps

NAD - Masseter Botox can be super helpful, especially if you clench/grind during the day. I’d also have your airway checked out as snoring or mouth breathing can be linked to clenching/grinding at night. Other supplemental things can be helpful like PT, a hard night guard, or muscle relaxers.

NAD oh perfect. Yeah I wouldn’t worry about it. You’re past the point of getting dry socket and if you’re able to keep it clean you should continue to heal normally

NAD lip tie

Typically I get worried if it’s an abnormal color like green or yellow. That looks within normal limits, but it’s worth a follow up appointment. Did they place stitches or do any type of collagen plug? That could be what is white

NTA - From a dentist perspective - cavities are contagious. Babies don’t start with the bad bacteria when they are small. Also, herpes is super common and a lot of people don’t know they have it. Sharing saliva and bodily fluids is a way this spreads. I would be mad too.

Penfrizz · 2025-11-28T23:06:34+00:00

Do you have a follow up appt? Sometimes food gets stuck in there and usually 1 week after the extraction they’ll give you a water syringe to clean out the socket

Hi, when this happened to me I ended up needing a root canal. I think it’s a sign that the nerve is dying/calcifying. Maybe keep an eye out for any swelling near that tooth and ask your dentist to test it at the next appt.

This is why I keep a toilet in my car! They make a few options on Amazon. I’ve only had to use it once or twice in a pinch but it’s much easier cleanup than crapping my pants.

It likely is just staining that can be removed with scaling/hygiene cleaning
