I have an edge bite and my molars on one side dont quite meet. I know my teeth need straighting of some kind and im so scared. Im honestly crying almost just writing this. I have really bad dental anxiety and a horrible gag reflex. I want invisalign and i think i could deal with them but it does not work for everyone and im scared to even ask out of fear of my dentist saying no. I am scared what the new of braces being my only option. I cant even image sitting there for an hour or two with someone working really deep in my mouth while it is held open. Im worried my heart rate will like 120 bpm the whole time and ill be gagging and throwing up on everyone in the room and crying. I dont think i could handle the embarassment. Could they put me under during it? I dont like how braces look, especially at my age of 19. I already am not a fan of how i look and have a hard time talking to people and i dont think i could bring myself to socialize at all for the rest of college if i have to spend it with braces. I want to ask about invisalign but it my dentist says know im scared of how i will react physically and mentally. It is tearing me up thinking about it and my next appointment is 4 months away. Im so scared and wont be able to think of anythink till then. What do i do?
