Omg me too! I was a finger sucker. I had to have a un removable retainer that had spikes on it to keep me from sucking my finger and pushing my teeth further out. I couldn’t close my mouth all the way because of how crazy my teeth were it was terrible. 

I didn’t end to needing a braces or anything, but I know my parents did ask about it “incase it became an issue.” I totally get it 🦷

Thankfully, I didn't need braces, but one dentist was so confused on why my jaw is misaligned. I looked her straight faced as I listened to her concerns and then I laughed and said, "Oh, I'm an avid thumb sucker."

She was oddly relieved by the revelation, lol. It was a cute moment that other dentists and patients could over hear due to the office's set up. But I wasn't phased by others knowing anymore, at that point.

Misaligned jaw is crazy 😆 but that was a super cute story. The dentist was probably worried sick and the look of relief on her face when you told her? I’m giggling 🤭 thinking about it.

I mean, I can feel my teeth misaligned when my mouth is closed and it can be seen when I smile. But it really doesn't look terrible.

It's a very subtle shift to the right. My teeth are only slightly crooked as well. Nothing that really needed surgery or braces. Just slightly off.

I don't suck on my thumb too hard for too long. Sometimes I'll just lightly hold it in my mouth. I think that's what saved me, lol.

But yeah, the insta look of relief she had was insane, lol. She was worried I had some sort of bone disease!

Oops xD
