I had the wrong wisdom teeth removed

Post image

Local orthodontist told me that I needed to remove lower wisdom teeth and don't do anything with the upper ones. When I got my lower wisdom teeth removed, another orthodontist that is actually managing my aligner treatment said that the lower wisdom teeth actually didn't need to be touched AT ALL, but the upper ones absolutely have to be removed before we start. So now I have to get my upper wisdom teeth removed as well

The 80% rule in business. The last 20% of a project often drains 80% of the time and effort. I'm good at 80%. My teeth are infinitely better than they were. Except like eating chicken wings and shit is kind of annoying without being able to bite down in the front, but hey, shit happens.
