Methods to UN-Straighten your teeth...?
« on: 27. June 2014, 03:58:06 AM »
Hello All,

I am a new member here, and glad to find others with similar interest as myself.

I especially like the recent topic about one's "dream orthodontic treatment." I had braces and major, major dental work all throughout my childhood. After much pain and trauma, my teeth are now straight.

In a similar way, I was wondering if anyone knew of ways to UN-Straighten your teeth? It has been a recent fantasy of mine to be forced to go visit an orthodontist. However, instead of helping me with my teeth, she would use multiple methods/appliances to revert my teeth back to their horrible, previous state. I would be forced to attend regular appointments and my teeth would get gradually worse and worse. Anyone else share this idea?

Also, does anyone know of any realistic (or fantasy) ways one can go about ruining their straight teeth?

Thank you. And I look forward to communicating here more and more.

I don't think this is a good idea in the real world. To un-straighten your teeth could cause permanent damage, or even cause other problems (with your jaw, for example).

It's a neat fantasy, though, and I would love to read a story about that sort of thing.

Whether realistic or fantasy, the simplest way would be to get braces! Any "ruining" would at least be controlled then.

However, it does have to be said that the only reality is that it would have to remain a fantasy - any medical professional would be bound by all sorts of restrictions that would make it difficult for them to do so.

My fantasy method would be time travel - you go back to before you had braces, but somehow it doesn't work and you end up needing braces again in the present day. Maybe by the time you get your requisite number of postings somebody will have got around to creating something for the stories section.

I tried this. In the safest, least crazy, least desperate way possible. And it did not work.

I used to still have a baby tooth. There was no adult tooth waiting to come in (it was removed - there is a story that goes with that. it can be called "the time I ALMOST got braces" lol) and eventually the baby tooth was no good anymore and was loose and cracking. I had it pulled, and pretty much demanded to have a "flipper" made even though I was told I wouldn't need it. (that's like a plastic retainer with a fake tooth attached) I had a friend who had one in school and because there were teeth attached to it, it meant she wore her retainer for years and years and years until she was ready to replace the missing teeth. I wanted that.

My flipper had no wire :( I was so not expecting that to even be a possibility and I was SOOO disappointed. It had no wires at all, even in the back. I was told to stick it to the roof of my mouth with denture paste. What a bummer! It didn't even give me a lisp :(

I broke it pretty quickly, not because I was doing anything particularly bad to it but because it was just really flimsy, and went back and tried to demand that a better one be made with thicker acrylic and actual wires on it. Looking back, I think that if I had kept insisting, I could have had what I wanted but I had no money to fund this myself. Even though I was in my 20s my parents were paying for this for me, and THEY were like, no, you don't need that.

So... I decided to just not wear it, and stop trying to find a doctor to place an implant for me. Every time my parents asked if I was ready for the next step (so they could pay for it) I was miraculously way too busy. I figured my teeth would start shifting. They had to, right? That was the whole point of the flipper, to keep my teeth in place!

They didn't, though. I held out for a couple years, hoping to see some movement, but nothing ever happened. Clearly that doctor was right, I didn't actually need the flipper. My teeth were not going anywhere. Eventually I got tired of having this big obvious gap clearly visible in my otherwise nice teeth, and went ahead and got the implant placed.

No need for braces :(
