Am I overreacting or is my older sister having a one sided competition with me?
First of all, english is not my first language so please excuse any mistakes that I make.
I (16) have a very weird jaw situation I think its called a 'clicking jaw'? When I open my mouth a little too wide my jaw sort of dislocates? It gets stuck sometimes and its really painful. I can't eat hard foods or sandwiches or anything good, this has been going on for years and I finally convinced my parents that it was serious enough to take me to a maxillofacial doctor (I can barely fit a table spoon in my mouth). The doctor said that its due to me having teeth pulled at a young age and that I need braces to sort of align my teeth, he also mentioned a story of a guy who had the same thing as me except he was unable to close his jaw. Now I'm terrified of that happening to me and now I have an appointment with an orthodontist next week.
When we returned home yesterday, and i told my one of my older sisters (shes 23). She told me to keep dreaming cuz I'm not getting my teeth fixed until she does first. and that it's unfair that I get braces first when I'm younger than her, I mentioned the story of the guy who couldn't close his mouth anymore and she said that she didn't care and that she was older and she must be the priority not me.
My sister has some crowding in her front bottom teeth but the rest of her teeth are straight (and so are mine the only difference is that a i have spacing cuz as I had many teeth pulled out due to decay)
I dont know if I'm being a dramatic teenager but it really hurt when she said she didn't care. when I told my other older siblings about it they didn't react like her, they made jokes about how i'll look weird with braces which is what I expected from her. Now it feels awkward, I dont know if she feels the awkwardness or if it's just me. I always got along with her and we've barely spoken today.
So am I overreacting?
