Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I don't think someone who likes you and is attracted to you is going to say, "I just met this pretty girl and she's really nice and we get along just great, but her teeth aren't perfect so that's a deal breaker." Maybe if the guy in question is a dentist or something, I don't know. You'd think a dentist would be the last person to worry about such things.
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 @J200 What I have is the snaggle, a tooth that pops up, is higher than others. I don't have that pushed in tooth she has. I appreciate your input though. For me it'd be a good 10k with everything added up. I just dislike 1-2 teeth not my entire mouth. I can live with imperfect bottom row. Its good to see botg sides anyway.
Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 As for the boyfriend, he's moving provinces away to be with his family. His family has a strong dislike of me (yet never gave me a chance to meet them.) His family has tried to get in the way numerous times. I feel that the cycle may repeat. Why doesn't his family like you?
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Why doesn't his family like you? They feel I "stole their son". I went to go meet the family, they decided not to show up purposely. Since then I decided it's not worth dealing with that drama.
Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 They feel I "stole their son". I went to go meet the family, they decided not to show up purposely. Petty argument of theirs and immature behavior. If your boyfriend has a spine/backbone he'll stick with you, what makes you think though he (possibly) will not?
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Petty argument of theirs. If your boyfriend has a spine/backbone he'll stick with you, what makes you think though he (possibly) will not? He has young siblings he's attached to, which is more reason as to why he's moving. (Along with others) He's forgotten why he moved away to begin with. Him and his mother didn't get along. His family is very negative and it rubs off on him. It bothers me to no end.

Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 He has young siblings he's attached to, which is more reason as to why he's moving. (Along with others) I see, the bro's over hoes argument. (no offense) He's forgotten why he moved away to begin with. Him and his mother didn't get along. If I had to make a guess, then she probably hasn't changed and the old patterns of their interaction will re-emerge and the frustration of that will cause him to come back to you when he's done with her once again. However, that's probably the case when he moves (back) into his parental home, because then he'd have no "escape" from her. It's up to you if that'd be something you accept from him.

Ouroboros Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I see, the bro's over hoes argument. (no offense) You'll understand when you get a family you care about.
Author Rinnix Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Well the move is for financial reasons, he had planned to move back. My issue is that I know his family will stick their noses in the relationship again. I've been accepting and forgiving all the things they've said and done. I told him if they interfear this time I'll be ending the relationship. I feel as it's not unreasonable to ask him to talk to his family about boundaries?
Nexus One Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) You'll understand when you get a family you care about. What makes you think I wouldn't understand? I have a family I care about and I have a brother. I would only use the bro's over hoes argument if the girl in question would pull some sh*t on me or on my family. However my family has no say in who I date. Tough luck for them if they wouldn't like her. Edited June 14, 2011 by Nexus One
Feelin Frisky Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 The imperfections in women's teeth arrangements are part of what makes them uniquely beautiful. There comes a point where it can be an eyesore but there are also some scenarios that are super appealing. I for instance like the "pushed in" look like Particia Arquette has. My ex had that and it was very sexy.
Holt Driver Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Okay folks, I have to make a distinction between one imperfection and a mouth full of crooked teeth. The former can be quirky and acceptable to most people, but the latter can be enough to turn off many more. We've seen some cute, quirky smiles on this thread, so I'm going to out myself and show you my smile, one that is truly crooked, maybe to an extreme. Pretty bad, eh? (Sorry I didn't shave!) I was on an online dating site last year and went on dates with about 15 women. I suspect that at least a few of them didn't accept a second date because of my teeth. (Two, however, did find me attractive enough to enter a relationship. Woo hoo!) Here's the thing. If you're self-conscious about your teeth, it affects your personality. When I smile I tend not to open my mouth, and I find myself containing my laughter at times to avoid opening my mouth too wide. In fact, my online dating profile included the statement, "I wish people could see how happy I am on the inside." I hate living like that. All that said, I began Invisalign treatment a month ago. (Those weird things you see on my incisors are "attachments," used to put extra pressure on select teeth to move them into their correct position.) My dentist said that I'm an "extreme case," so I've got 17 months of this ahead of me. Then I'm becoming a model! LOL
Author Rinnix Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 @ Holt Driver Thanks for taking the time to post (as I see it's your first and only post. ) I'm a smiley girl, It'll always smile regardless of my one funny tooth that pops up. I feel that if I were to cover my mouth, it would just bring negative attention towards it. Plus, I still think my face can look cute when I smile, regardless of a few funny chompers. Its great that you did get two relationships from online dating. I've also had a few people tell me that it also matters how you wear your smile, and how it looks on your face, not just the teeth itsself. But then there will always be people who see otherwise. How long is invisalign supposed to take normally? With "normal" braces they gave me the typical and common 12 months. I wouldn't have minded Invisalign.
Tybalt Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Rinnix, you're lovely. I've worked in the dental field for ten years and my dealbreaker is periodontal disease. That in and of itself contributes to more issues with missing teeth, ultimately, but my immediate issue with it is the breath odor and knowledge that the person has an active, bone destroying infection in their gums. I just can't stand the idea of kissing a mouth in that condition. I don't have a perfect smile on the lowers, and never had orthodontics, but I floss and brush daily and am very aware of dental hygiene. Orthodontic duration time varies with the method used and the complexity of the case. And Invisalign is a great option for many but it isn't the best choice for all candidates. The best plan is to discuss it with your general dentist, and go see a few orthodontists for a consult, as they will likely have different treatment plan approaches.
Author Rinnix Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 @Tybalt Thanks! It's good to see another view. I have a healthy mouth, and it's clean and no bad breath, so I think I'm good in that case. I also agree, I would be put off by very bad teeth. (Lack of keeping clean, stained/black) @J200 I know that you feel this way, but I know there has to be some people out there who find crooked teeth to be cute. Many people are picky with other things too, weight, hair color, facial symmetry. There has to be someone out there who would find me adorable as I am now. If people couldn't accept these things, then a lot of us would be alone. Even people with perfect teeth, they are not always the most appealing people. I do want to do something about this one tooth in the future. However, it may have to wait until I am also in my later 20's, and I have quite a bit of saving to do. Perhaps in the future I may grow more comftorable with my smile, who knows. I actually posted a picture on page 2 or 3 of the actual tooth im dealing with, should still be there. (While the other two links have been removed, tooth one is there)
welikeincrowds Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 My teeth suck, basically. I have an open bite. It sucks because I feel like I can't authentically smile. I also wonder if it awkwardly and unevenly elongates my jawline or makes me thrust my tongue too far when I talk or makes me drool when I sleep or does some other imperfect thing that I would be more than happy to obsess over for hours and hours. Also, my teeth aren't perfectly straight, with my incisors hiding behind my canines, and it's more noticable because I have really fangy canines. But I can say one good thing about my open bite. That the natural resting position for my mouth may not be so "natural", but I like how it makes my two front teeth peek out ever so slightly from behind my lips. Also, when I taught elementary school, every so often a young child there would notice my teeth and ask if I were a vampire. I would just stop what I was doing, look them straight in the eye, bring my index finger to my lips, and go "shhh". Then I would go back to what I was doing. Man, that was so much fun. I think teeth are such a sexy body part, in a very mysterious way. I like perfect teeth like the next person, but more importantly I seem to be attracted to prominent teeth. For example, I'm really into that Brigitte Bardot look. Granted, the rest of her was angelic too, so she's probably not a good example; but it's not like you have anything to worry about Rinnix. Seriously imperfect teeth flatter no one, but imperfections in teeth can actually make someone more attractive, at least to me.
Author Rinnix Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 @ welikeincrowds Aw, I love the appearance of fangs in teeth. I don't like the chicklet look, but I do like straight with character too. I normally find myself attracted to those with some imperfects in their teeth as well. My current boyfriend has all straight teeth, but his two front teeth overlap a small bit. He has no problems with my smile. Though, he sometimes calls me a cute beaver as my two front teeth are long. I always figured I had bunny teeth. Brigitte Bardot is indeed gorgeous (or was). I guess I should learn to embrace what I have. I don't think id want to be with someone who's completely shallow anyway. If they can't live with my funny tooth, then it's just not mean't to be. If It wasn't my teeth, then what would I be picked on for next? Being too thin? Because my eyes are too big, my nose too small? List goes on.. Plus... I'm pretty sure when I'm much older (65-70) I'll have dentures anyway.
Nexus One Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 How long is invisalign supposed to take normally? With "normal" braces they gave me the typical and common 12 months. The length that you have to wear the Invisalign braces depends on how much your teeth are away from their ideal position. The longer you have to wear them, the more expensive it is, because you'll get updated braces every so now and then. The least expensive and shortest wearing period of 2 months costs $3000 at dentists near me. And the longest wearing period, which is as long as is needed to bring your teeth in the ideal position, costs $7500 here. But it's possible to find a dentist/orthodontist who offers Invisalign braces for lower prices. However not all dentists and orthodontists offer Invisalign braces, because it requires a business cooperation from the dentist with the Invisalign brace factory, not all dentists have such a cooperation. So that would mean you'd have to look for a dentist/orthodontist that does offer Invisalign braces.
Holt Driver Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 @ Holt Driver Thanks for taking the time to post (as I see it's your first and only post. ) Yep, first post! Given my recent investment in Invisalign this was a very intriguing topic for me. You can imagine how bummed I'd be if everyone said that teeth were *not* important! LOL As Nexus said the time required does vary depending on your situation. Because mine is extreme, it's 18 months. A friend who has them to correct something minor requires less than 6 months. Another friend had conventional, metal braces to correct a relatively minor defect for about 14 months! Invisalign is expensive. My treatment is about $6,000. Financing is available via third parties. BTW, you're adorable, snaggle tooth and all. I like a couple of little quirks that make a person unique. That's sexy. "Perfect" is boring. I'd go out with you in a heartbeat, though I fear I might be a little old for you. ;-) I've worked in the dental field for ten years.... When I was on eHarmony one of my matches was a really cute dental hygenist. My first thought was, no way she'll have me! Not with this crooked smile!
Ouroboros Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Plus... I'm pretty sure when I'm much older (65-70) I'll have dentures anyway. And I'll be your denture adhesive. Our bond will endure, my love.
