I am wondering if braces could help move my teeth back to a normal position. From what i remember, braces can move teeth sideways or forward/backwards. But can they move them downward? Out of the gums? My teeth look even straighter now than they used to (after incident). They look perfect, which is why it’s hard to get people to understand what happened. I can still talk. Just not the same. My front teeth also hit or (make impact while i talk). I have yet to see anyone about this with the struggles of life and lack of insurance etc. I’m now in AIT for the Army and am trying to plan things out now that I have insurance and some money giving me the ability to hopefully do something to fix this. I’m embarrassed to admit that i joined the army for this reason only. After losing plenty of jobs and losing lots of confidence i needed a last resort. I’m still myself. Just can’t talk the way i used to and I feel it when I smile/eat/clear my throat/swallow... everything.
