My Teeth are Going Out of Focus

After years with a cross-bite where I at least had a way to chew, my mouth now seems to be out of focus. None of my teeth match or meet up like they’re supposed to. I’m journeying to a distant shore where my teeth will meet and cooperate in a new and coordinated way. The orthodontist said he sometimes has patients who are finished with treatment slam their teeth closed to demonstrate how their bites have improved. Right now, the idea makes my skin crawl. I’ll just have to take that on faith and trust him to guide the voyage.
