I'm "blessed" I've only ever had 1 filling in my life. Still have all my wisdoms.

Yes - I have gold crows on all molars +2 others that I had done in my early 20's. A few years ago, I lost one and had to have a bridge made.

Should've gotten an implant though. Bridge you're destroying 2 perfectly good teeth.

I had braces growing up. The orthodontist had them on me for six years followed by two with a retainer. When I was 23, I dated a girl whose dad was an orthodontist. I told him the story and he confirmed what I had previously suspected. I should never have had them on for so long. The orthodontist had been milking my parents just for the extra fees.

6 years is way too long I think. I believe the normal is about 2 years.

Yes...braces, wisdom teeth pulled, several root canals, several crowns and fillings.

3 crowns, at least one root canal, and one tooth pulled and replaced with an implant. Fillings here and there. Wisdom teeth extracted.
