I am currently 22, about to turn 23 in March. I have adult braces and acne so basically I am a 22 year old trapped inside a 17 year old's body. I recently graduated from San Diego State University in May 2016. I am starting a company with my brother called VendiBean and it is my life/ baby and I am so thankful for it.
Rewind to when I was 10 years old.... I was at a friends house and had a genius idea of saran wrapping myself to my friend back to back. I was standing in the front and we started walking down a narrow hallway in her house. Of course we completely lost our balance but, with our arms stuck under the saran wrap, I couldn't break our fall and ended up slamming onto the tile floor jaw first.
Fast forward 10 years later... I have already gotten braces, had a perfect bite and everything was jolly. Until my freshman year of college I went to bite down on my nail and realized I physically couldn't because my bite was completely shifted!!! Side note - I was the girl in high school/ college who was legit OCD about wearing her retainers- So I was completely flabbergasted by what was going on and didn't understand. I went to this jaw doctor who took X-Rays and told me the left side of my jaw was super under developed and looked like the size of a 10 year old's jaw. This was only the beginning... My bite was barely an open bite at this point and over the span of 3 years my bite turned into a 4mm open bite. Doc told me what I have is called ICR (idiopathic Condylar Resorption). I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life haha. Not only was I in excruciating jaw pain during this period but I was developing a lisp from having an open bite, couldn't bite down into food properly anymore and I learned that I had to eventually get braces and jaw surgery to fix this mess.
