How long after you got those braces did you get T?

@Bill Bauer Just one year. I got braces in April 2018, and got T in April 2019. Something to note is that when the T came to me, I had not used Invisaling for more than a month - there was a small hiatus in my treatment while they send me new retainers - and now, If I have quieter T is in the morning, when I have been using Invisalign for several hours in a row... maybe it’s just a coincidence...

I know that the braces are modifying my bite and occlusion, leading my teeth to the left side of my mouth to filling a gap of the tooth they extracted. Because yeah, at the beggining of the treatment, a year ago, they extracted a healthy tooth on the left side. They messed up a little with my mouth I think.

It sounds like these braces are helping you to avoid T.

Did they extract a wisdom tooth that was healthy?

Yes, it's weird because I think the "usual" situation it's just the opposite. In other cases that I researched around the internet: braces was making T worse, but in my case it seems not. As you say, it seems like it's helping me against T in any way. But this is rare I think, and these are only assumptions...

The dentist extracted my second left premolar, was a perfectly healthy tooth. She said she had to make space in my mouth to reposition the rest of the teeth... I was never feel happy or safe with the decision to extract that tooth.

Dentists seem to do this (extract teeth for very shady reasons) all of the time. My mom had been a victim of such a dentist too...

I'm not sure if Invisalign contributed to me getting tinnitus, but it started halfway through my treatment. It was a particularly stressful period.
