Totally relate keep manifesting for new teef as we call them in our Chinese/ English household (hello from the U.K.) . I’m an older follower than your normal demographic with a 14 year daughter. Back story the U.K. lockdown was brutal for us and we caved in to aligners from Smile Direct (not an Ad paid for everything ourselves) her upper set of teef were in a V shape rather than a U shape and after only 3 months we can see the results . The thing your Hot dentist may not have mentioned is once all the aligner work has finished and your teef are in the correct position . You still need to wear a retainer at night to stop the teef from moving back into its old position. Also another aspect further down as we age , life events like pregnancy can also effect your teeth / gums and move teef about due to the hormones. Here in the U.K. if the teeth are healthy and it’s not crowded there is no need to remove your wisdom teeth. You do actually need them for jaw line definition as you become older and reach that tweakment stage - not suggesting to you or anyone here they need fillers once they reach 45 + years. That’s a lifestyle choice and if you can afford that and it makes you feel better, then please go for it! Also having an overbite is an advantage for ageing lips! Loving your newsletter and I too have been living in puffy dresses this summer and channeling Princess Peach x
First of all, let’s get the fan girling out of the way. I love how you write, it seriously brightened my day to open the email and see a post from you among the news doom and store email subscriptions I need to cancel. You’re great at descriptions and evoking mental images.
I related so much to this. I always smile with my mouth closed. Not only were my teeth crooked but they’ve always been very yellow and we don’t have the easy access to whitening products there is in the states. I had to get my wisdom teeth removed because they were bullying the other teeth in their attempt to erupt AND THAT HURT. (I got to keep 2 in a baggie). I got Invisalign because my jaw was something and that also hurt, like a tension headache just in your jaw.
The veneer thing just made me think of future irrelevant celebrities with money troubles and knubby teeth they can’t fix. I guess those are the kind of teeth nightmares celebrities have. Maybe.

Well, THIS validates my dental skepticism. Yikes!
