back from yet another orthodontist visit and

the working theory is that i grind my teeth so bad at night — a habit picked up from years of having the other type of retainers which were of the “hai have massive amounts of plastic between your teeth, sleep with your jaw wide open why don’t you” variety — that i shove the retainers too hard into my teeth and everything gets fucked :)))

they’ve been polished down a bit more so either that works or i wear them a few hours during the day.

and if that isn’t enough — or i bite too hard at night (that’s what she said eyy) then i’ll need night guard retainers.

which is basically the same as replacing the broken retainers i already had.

which means i could have just fucking skipped this whole step and these different-model-but-better retainers.

in conclusion: fuck them teeth

#they never fucking warn you about this when you start orthodoncy as a kid #like oh hey btw this will be a lifelong commitment #that or undo all the work you’ve done #let’s bring out that tag again:#*sings* i! hate! everything about this!#ALSO ge told me not to exercise my upper body ao much because since it’s all connected i might bite harder at night and like #ffs man i just want smexy smexy shoulders #anyway not going to the gym today because it’s late and i don’t want to be there until the fucking afternoon #also typing this with one fricked up eye because oh yeah my contact lens refuses to sit properly yayyy #in further conclusion: i am frustration #randomness #also thank fuck these visits aren’t being charged and are part of the So You Bought Retainers costs
