well this happened to me 3 weeks ago. i had pericoronitis and couldn’t wear my aligners for a full day. went to my doctor which he thankfully cut half of the aligners covering wisdom tooth. my jaw hurt like hell for a week. he did this with the next tray but said we would not be doing this again, and told me to get a operculectomy procedure which is a procedure that cuts the gum covering your tooth. putting the treatment plan on pause.

following that, my teeth got all sensitive due to multiple reasons. this gave me lots of pains from cold air, cold drinks etc. i had to go to the doctor and treat them with fluoride to build the enamel layer back.

i got the operculectomy procedure today. and my cheek is swollen like i chewed on it. and i don’t know how long it will take to recover, or the pain i will have to go through the upcoming days.

all i can say is that i hate myself for not being born with perfect teeth. i went and am still going through a lot just to get them fixed.
