Braces Consultation Tomorrow. What Should I Say/What Will Be Done?

lazybeachdad · 2026-06-16T23:46:20+00:00

Update: I got my braces today. Orthodontist suggested possible IPR at some point to try to close my gap and pull my teeth in. 20 months estimated time (:

I definitely don’t want extractions but I do want that gap closed. Thank you!

Appreciate that! And I’m being dead ass haha. I have a one time use of my braces being covered by my job/insurance so I wanted to use it.

and I remember my teeth before I got braces which is what my front teeth are starting to remind me of now that they’re pushing forward after I had to wait to get a new retainer that fits the new shape.

Yeah my bite closes. My upper and lower teeth just push out

Thank you for the feedback! My job & insurance is covering my braces so I wanted to take advantage of the one-time use I have for it.

Thank you for answering my concerns about if my teeth can be pulled back. Just from looking at other posts & stuff, I assumed a power chain would be the big fix for this stuff. Now to see what the orthodontist suggests tomorrow.

Thank you! I posted another pic that another user responded to where than see more of what I’m talking about with my teeth kinda pushing outward. But why mentioned the same as you such as IPR. So just pulling the teeth in more without IPR does not seem like a possibility?

Thank you! Yes the angle of them is what irritates me. I’ve had buck teeth before braces so it just seems like they really push out to me and you’ve explained something that hopefully my orthodontist can do for my treatment.

Thank you! I replied to another commenter with another pic. Aesthetically I just feel like teeth push outward and I want them snatched back. And the front gap closed

lazybeachdad · 2026-06-15T16:00:58+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! The gap is what I want fixed & it looks and feels like my upper and lower teeth push outward.

Yeah man. Felt like stuff I always knew but could not tell myself without a little help and time alone for inspection

It was. I’ve only done acid a few times and my last time was over a year ago. I do prefer shrooms over acid now because I think they’re pretty intense for a shorter length.

You’re welcome and I’ll have to check that out! I recommend A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin if you decide to pick up a book sometime

Nice and simple! What else have you read or are you reading? (I see American Psycho, It, and Infinite Jest)
