Braces coming off soon!
in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
I’m getting my fixed retainer soon. What’s the verdict on these results? Honestly. I was expecting more. Can this actually close the gap between my front teeth? Does it look crooked to you—or is it just me? Something feels off. Looking at the screen, I feel like I need to shift the midline a bit more to the left. And those bottom teeth? Not a fan—they’re crowding the front one. I’ve been wearing my rubber bands for 8 months now.

My orthodontist said she just needs to fix this one single tooth and we're done. Still, I'm not exactly thrilled with my smile—what do you all think?

Dentistry and finger injuries: What should I do?
in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
Please take a look at this. I’m planning on going into dentistry. 🙂
I'm 18. When I was about five or six, I broke my finger. Nobody even noticed it was fractured, so I never wore a splint or had it set properly. Now, my middle finger is crooked—right where you hold a pen when you write. They told me writing would straighten it out... and sure, it helped, but it still protrudes about an inch toward the side where I grip the pencil. It actually hurts after writing for too long. I want to pursue a career in dentistry. Is this going to be an issue for the profession? Is it worth the physical toll?

Broken finger on my hand
in Health ·
I’m 18. When I was about five or six, I broke my finger—and apparently, nobody noticed. No cast, no realignment, nothing. Now, my middle finger is healed all crooked—right where you grip a pen when you write. They told me writing more would straighten it out... which it did, sort of, but there’s still this two-centimeter protrusion on the side where I hold the pencil. It actually hurts when I have to write for long periods. I’m planning on going into dentistry—will this be an issue for that career? Is it even worth getting it fixed?
