I get why you went for Invisalign, but sometimes I wonder if dentists mentioning these tiny shifts actually makes us more anxious? Like, would you even have noticed if they hadn't pointed it out...
Honestly, I've wondered the same thing. I went in for a routine cleaning once, and my dentist casually mentioned one tooth shifting slightly...hadn't even noticed it before, but afterward I couldn't stop staring at it in the mirror. It drove me nuts for weeks. Makes me think sometimes ignorance really is bliss—like, would we even care if no one pointed it out? Maybe dentists could just wait until it's actually noticeable or causing issues before mentioning it...
I totally get that feeling...my orthodontist once casually mentioned my bottom teeth shifting slightly after braces, and suddenly it was all I could see. Before that, I honestly hadn't noticed or cared. But looking back, I'm glad they brought it up early—it gave me options before things got worse. Sometimes dentists mention these things just to keep us informed, not to stress us out. Still, I completely understand how annoying it is once you're aware of it.
Haha, isn't it funny how that works? I remember when my dentist casually mentioned my front tooth was slightly rotated. Suddenly, every mirror became my enemy—I swear it looked like a sideways billboard to me. Before that, zero issues... ignorance really is bliss sometimes. But honestly, most people never even notice these tiny shifts. Dentists just can't help themselves—we're trained to spot every little detail. Ever tried unseeing something after it's pointed out to you? Impossible.
"Suddenly, every mirror became my enemy—I swear it looked like a sideways billboard to me."
Haha, I totally get this feeling. It's funny how our brains amplify these tiny imperfections once they're pointed out. Honestly though, as someone who sees teeth all day, I promise you most people never notice these subtle rotations or shifts. We're our own harshest critics. If it's really bugging you, there are simple options like clear aligners—but trust me, your smile probably looks great just as it is.
