Did anyone ever experience....

#1 Post by kirjax »

dreams about your teeth going back to the way they were before braces??

Before I got braces I always had dreams about my teeth falling out. In a dream book it said it was because I was experiencing a lack of self confidence in my appearance. So ever since I got braces I never had those dreams again. However since receiving news that I'm getting them off in a few weeks I've had dreams that I get them off and even though I am wearing my retainer I wake up and my teeth are all crooked again!! It's normal right? lol - maybe it just means I have anxiety issues over losing my wittle brackets :lol:

Oh Lordy!!! I had a dream last night. I kept looking in the mirror and my 2 front teeth had changed colour and were lobsided.

I too used to have the dream where my teeth fell out, but since I had a brace fitted that all stopped, untill last night. :oops:

What a relief when i checked in the mirror this morning.

I have been dreaming of my brackets falling off already and somehow a tooth degenerate to a very brittle baby sized tooth...it doesn't compare to waking up and having your skin "imprinted" by the brackets. It's a discomforting feeling.

Strange since I only had them for 3 weeks only.


:shock:
