Wax
2 years ago
One of my reasons for being an alligator is my lesser form has crooked ass teeth. While those crooked teeth weren't that bad in the grand scheme, they caused pain and weird jaw stuff. Like, I drink from the side of my mouth instead of the front with cans and bottles. To actually bite anything I have to move the jaw way forward. And this is just a couple weird adaptations. Causing some tooth wear like a farm aminal also.
I have trouble with migraines. While I have adapted well and didn't have TMJ (clickey crunchety jaw bone) I feel like this jaw stuff possibly contributed to the headaches and fatigue. Not to mention my famous brand of poisionously low self esteem.
The stars aligned and I finally got the tax free medical savings to do something. While the "perfect" solution involved jaw surgery, we started with partial braces and hopefully can get there without cutting stuff.
Braces are sharp and also make it very hard and unpleasant to eat, something I do pretty much whenever possible. Even my alcoholism is affected if I want to use Tylenol and not kill myself faster.
So now I've got partial braces going on as of today, and sleeping has caused pressure on the sides of my face, which cut holes in in the side of my mouth. I left the wax to keep them from doing that in the vehicle. So instead of waking up the whole house at 4am I'm trying to go back to sleep for a bit with bleedy hamburglar mouth.

Good luck, I think this could be a proper investment over time.
Thanks Lu-Man
I didn't know how many, but I had a feeling.
Who knows? Maybe after some time with these braces things will start to feel better?
I feel strongly grounded, if not trapped in reality, and I have always found I only see myself within the image as I am. I like zebras though. They are beautiful, cannot be tamed(I'm not totally sure if this is true), and they are black and white, which reflects how I feel and see things a lot of the time.
Eventually I will post more photos. I am just a bit bored of the photos I had been taking. Nothing really interesting has happened for me lately, and I haven't been really looking for things to photograph.
