I've been going to the dentist a lot these few months, getting my fillings and cleanings and x- rays and consultations.
My dentist suggested some options for aesthetic and functional teeth improvement. He told me the things wrong about my teeth, some that I noticed and some that I did not know about. I did a lot of research, second opinion gathering, thinking, looking at pictures of myself , taking pictures of my teeth. And dude it's so funny. When I didn't have my own dentist, I was fine but now that I have a great dentist who tells me all my teeth imperfections, It's like stressing me out because I'm not willing to go through the effort to make my teeth perfect. I'm not willing to do braces for two years again and I heard it may cause TMJ which I luckily currently don't have. And veneers cost a lot, are irreversible and require extra care. What if I become a missionary and don't have access to good dentists and don't have spare money every 20 years when I need to get my veneers replaced?
Anyway. So silly of me to get stressed out about this. Sometimes we get fixated on having to fix all our imperfections and it's stupid. I'm not saying it's wrong to fix aesthetic things but we have to realize we'll never be perfect
