Documenting his dental transformation journeyfrom @grillguy
[01]
Overview
The creator starts by humorously acknowledging his insecurities about his chin, neck, and teeth, which he attributes to internet comments. He then documents his visit to an orthodontist, showing the diagnostic process through 3D scans and analyses on computer screens. The creator's voiceover explains the orthodontist's diagnosis: his issues stem from childhood tooth extractions, leading to a narrow palate, a downward chin angle, and a small airway. He expresses relief that it's "not his fault" and shows the proposed Invisalign treatment plan, which will correct his bite and improve his facial structure. The video concludes with him receiving his Invisalign aligners, posing with the orthodontist, and smiling, expressing excitement for his future "normal chin."

Transcript
Come with me to fix my disgusting tiny chin and turkey neck and weird teeth. Ever since I started the Internet, you guys all let me know I have disgusting weird teeth and a tiny chin, and I always wondered why. So I went to go see doctor Salzer, who's an orthodontist, and you actually told me it is true. You do have a very weird chin and weird teeth. But it's not your fault. It's because you got teeth pulled when you're a kid, and now your mouth is really narrow and your chin angle is down. That's that ching angle is at a 42. It should be, like, 30. It's disgusting and weird. Also, my breathing tube is small. That's why I breathe so good. So it's all starting to make sense. It's not my fault. It's actually somebody else's fault. So no, this is my teeth now. She's gonna fix my bite and make it a closed better, which is gonna push my chin up and make me look a lot better and way more cool. And this is Invisalign. I don't have to wear this every week. She says, don't worse. That disgusting chin is gonna be gone soon. You'll have a normal one soon. Can't wait till I have a normal chin.
