I just don’t know how to move on and forgive the dentist who blind drill my tooth in half from the back.

I have a soggy tooth that I don’t have space to restore.
My occlusion is so messed up that I get tired from chewing.
I hate speaking now because I constantly clash my teeth.
My molars are always tired and heavy.
My anterior guidance is not functioning as they should.

I’m just living so miserably everyday. I’m like waiting and hoping I can pass away is sleep. I hate waking up to another day of this discomfort.

I wish I have a Time Machine and never walked into that appointment. I just don’t understand why he couldn’t just admit he had no idea what he was doing. Why will he blind drill just so he could look competent. How can he think I will never find out? I’m to the point thinking maybe his degree is fake. Like how can a dentist do this.

I’m so exhausted. I don’t know how this can be fixed how I can live normal again. I’m tired of explaining my story to other dentist and they don’t even believe me. I don’t even blame them because I still don’t believe it.

Everyday I wake up and I hate that I’m still alive.

Every minute awake is torture.

I can’t die because family will suffer, every time I’m wanting to end life I think about how selfish, I think about my kids growing up without mum. But I just hate living, I don’t have joy anymore.

Ever since I attended a dental appointment where a dentist blindly removed my tooth. I have a soggy tooth in my mouth and I can’t restore. My bite is messed up and I can’t focus on anything but my bite. I seek help but no dentist wants to intervene anymore because how messed up. No one even believes me. I don’t even believe that this happens. I feel so helpless.

I don’t know if it will ever get better, it’s been too long. I don’t see solution, I don’t see hope, I’m so stuck and miserable with suicidal thoughts everyday.

Please someone explain to me how common is this CR MIP concept in orthodontic.

I am looking into orthodontic work because ever since a dentist reduced my tooth my bite has been messed up. My right central keeps tilting inward, I can feel the imbalance of forces.

When I approach orthodontist, they just tell me that they work with my current bite.

My concern is my jaw has really adapted so much into this wrong bite. From doing my research it seems that I should use a splint and stabilise things first for a good reference. Otherwise I'm building onto a wrong shifted jaw position.

I'm just wondering in real world, is this also common practice?? I'm just so confused. The orthodontist pretty much said I'm doing too much research and it's wrong. But from my own experience of how things has adapted it makes sense to take an extra step to correct before ortho. Or is this rarely considered??

I would appreciate if anyone can share similar experience.
