that sounds very, very unpleasant (←understatement). sorry you have to experience it. [frowny-sad]
Well, it's a short term unpleasantness for a long term problem. When I was a kid I had braces and according to 2 different dentists the orthodontist that removed them chipped the enamel on my teeth. I was spending 2 to 3 grand a year to keep my teeth so 15 years ago or so I decided to let it go and when they were bad enough I would go to dentures. Well that time has come since every couple months or so a tooth breaks or gets bad enough to need pulled.
