Sometimes I feel some things make me really OCD, while lots of things I can just let be a complete mess and not care.
When I look at my teeth in the mirror it's definitely the former.
I know it's not a straightforward thing and to expect steps back, but looking at my teeth as they are being rotated, stepped up, down, or other such directions bothers me so much.
The worse thing is when I see 2 teeth side by side that were straight and level that are tilted and as a result look more crooked than ever.
I mean I know it's a part of reaching for perfection, but I just can't get over being bothered by it.
Does looking in the mirror trigger Obsessive Compulsiveness for you?

You don't have OCD.
ODC is when you have intrusive thoughts that turn into repetative acts.
What you are doing is noticing that your teeth are moving and worrying if they are moving correctly.

North really worrying, more like being annoyed by it, but I guess you are right.SingleJawMelb wrote:You don't have OCD.

I know what you mean, I feel like I spend way too much time analysing my teeth in the mirror now. Such a waste of time really!! But hard to stop
Braced on 27.10.16 to fix an anterior open bite, overjet & mild crowding. Class 1 malocclusion. Ceramic braces upper 6 + steel lower, then double jaw surgery in about a year, once my extraction gaps have closed!
Sentence: 24-30 months.
