Tldw: agriculture resulted in softer food which reduced jaw sizes and resulted in overcrowding
Braces let me get some of that sweet, sweet big bosom action the only orthodontist in town when I was 12, she was named Dr. Pullman and I believe spent most of her money on plastic surgery. I went to her for 4-5 years and she looked like a 50 year old Dolly Parton Barbie near when I left. Great Dentist surname though, Pullman.
Everytime she would lean over to work on patients she would practically smother them. She knew what she was doing.
My mouth is too big for all of my teeth and I have a bunch of gaps
Is that why we have wisdom teeth that almost always need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth are a vestigial remnant. Most apes have them and make good use of them for grinding down vegetation.
I think early humans probably lost teeth due to life experience, or teeth were damaged/worn, so when the wisdom teeth grew in, it kinda shoved everything back into order
Big Dental says I have to get my wisdom teeth removed and I'm dreading
The procedure isn't that bad itself, but I hope you have good insurance. I've had to get a root canal and it was way worse.
Definitely not a fun recovery lol. But it's by no means a scary procedure.
Man they took mine out during boot camp. Imagine having to exercise for six hours the day after you got them knocked out by junior Navy doc, lmao.
