This has been weighing on my shoulders for a bit. I guess this is more of a rant than anything.
I use to have near perfect teeth. This past November I noticed my front two bottom ones start to shift a little bit. So now they're slightly crooked/shifted just a bit. In hind sight... I should've just went to a dentist right then and there. For some reason now it's weighing on me now more than back then. I'm thinking it might be an issue with my gums. So I'm going to have to get that looked at first and then probably look into Invisalign to get the two teeth back straight like they were. Like I said, it's only two teeth but it's the two front bottom teeth unfortunately.
I'm currently in a spot (now) where money is tighter than usual. I can't drop $5k for Invisalign plus whatever else I'm going to have to pay for. I still have to do income tax (I do side transcription on the side and I actually made a decent sum last year) so I'm going to owe quite a bit. By mid-May I'm calculating - I'll have enough spare cash for the dental costs (don't want to use credit/rather just pay it all at once).
This teeth problem hasn't prevented me in going out on dates, but it has certainly played a part on my self confidence if I'm telling the truth. I never had to worry about my teeth at all until recently so this is all new to me. I haven't had much success on dates the last couple months. The quality of women also hasn't been great, but my brain is saying my front two teeth are to blame. I know how stupid this might sound. I know teeth are a big deal as well.
Should I put off dating until June until I have this teeth situation more under control or is this just my lowered self esteem talking? Like I said - I've still gone out on dates, but I know I haven't been 100% my self because of this.
I'm comfortable with the majority of the rest of my body (hair, weight, height, etc). It's just my teeth right now.
