isolated by misaligned teeth Posted: 02-13-08 18:10pm
iam generally not an insecure person my
imperfections dont usually bother me at
all but there is one little flaw that
almost haunts me it started off bothering
me so i hid it by the way its almost
impossible to hide i have missaligned
teeth and i think its very unattractive
even as a child i was made fun of for my
teeth and the insecurity grew and grew for
about four years and still is there are
some times when i just think of it for
hours and the reason i feel most isolated
is i have never told a soul and it scares
me to do so also i feel isolated because
if most people have this problem they get
braces problem solved well i never did and
my mom told me i will someday when she
gets a full time job which is not even
close to possible right now and im 17
going to be 18 soon and almost done high
school i will be quite old when i do get
them but i just feel isolated cause ive
worked it up to i cant talk about it i
cant show them and if people ever ask me
too smile i feel sick to my stomach and
change the topic and if people ever talk
about teeth i feel sick to my stomach
anything related to teeth and correctional
methods such as braces and today at my
girlfriends house which is problably the
person i fear most seeing them anyways i
was in her sisters room and i saw a case
and picked it up it said invisalign the
clear braces then she complained she got
the metal ones and her sister didnt and
then i felt sick to my stomach then she
said her teeth were better and asked if i
liked them i froze up like a popsicle i
felt like i was going to throw up then i
quickly changed the topic but ever on that
day i felt sick and then as i was leaving
her dad almost caught me and i ran and i
just feel like ive been pushed over the
edge i have had a stressfull week and just
feel like dying iam so stressed and so
lost and feel so isolated what can i do
anything?

Where are you from, spencerbobby? I know
that in Ontario, they just introduced a
new program for people who don't have
benefits at work and who don't make enough
to cover astronomical dental costs. I
don't know about anything like that in any
other province or state.... Do some
research, though. You might be surprised
with what you find.
