So my issue today is with how much I all-around despise my teeth and mouth. I have so many issues with them, and I can't be sure if anyone shares mine.
1. Mine are crooked.
I would rather just smile with my mouth closed then ever show my teeth to the world, and it turns out that I'm not suitable for Invisalign, so I'm probably going to have to get Braces at one point. Oh joy.
2. They're not very White.
My teeth aren't Yellow, but they're not exactly White either. I brush several times a day, and mouthwash every 3-4 so as not to scald my gums and such too much. Doesn't seem to help.
3. Even right after a thorough brushing as recommended, there's still Tartar and my teeth don't look or feel clean.
It feels like the stuff is glued on when I brush, but simple picking in-between or at the front of my teeth get it off. I don't know what I'm supposed to do if I brush at the right angle and they still aren't clean and I can't floss the front near my gums, which is where it collects usually. Regardless, they always look gross.
4. I have a slight case of Gingivitis apparently.
Even with brushing and rinsing, I still got it somehow. Not really sure how, but I did, and I don't know in which section it is.
5. My gum line is receding near my teeth.
My teeth are being made more and more bare from my earlier times brushing I guess because I've been doing it wrong for so long I guess, and now more of my teeth are showing, and although I am not informed enough to make a guess if they could just fall out if it continues, I have to say that it's still not looking great.
I'd say that's most of my issues with my teeth at the moment, but nonetheless if I wasn't having any of these issues, I'd probably be a lot better looking and more average. So far though, my jaw and mouth is a cluster-blam!- of problems.
(Oh and I still need to get my Wisdom Teeth pulled, three to be exact :/)
Does anyone share any of my issues? :(

I'm sorry you're going through this. My to-be-husband used to have his front tooth chipped just a little bit, and even after he brushed his breathe always just smelled bad - and it caused him to almost never smile because of that insecurity. He went to the dentist and got it fixed along with some things filled, and now he smiles like no other. Have you consulted a dentist about these things? Maybe they can give you some pointers. I feel quite blessed to have the teeth that I do. :/ I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't fix the problem. . . I hope it gets fixed, or at least find some kind of remedy to help keep it from deteriorating further.
