Can stuttering be related to crowded and really bad teeth ? New here and don't know shit about Reddit but seems the right place to write about this. My fucking first time talking about this and literally shaking rn. My problem is i stutter. I am a grown ass man who stutter almost at rate of 5-10% of my everyday life. It is not easy as you might think. In my mother language i stutter like i said before like 5-10% depends on how i feel and who i am talking to. But in other languages like English whatever i stutter like shit and avoid talking to People because of this. It is not easy when your friend name is Christoffer of whatever but you call him "yo" because you can't fucking say his name. Sometimes i stutter less sometimes i stutter more depends idk on how i feel and how long i stayed home. I think i stutter more when i start a word with specific letters (C and K are hell ) but in general i do stutter. In my mind i wanna say for example "hi my name is blabla i am doing bla bla what is your name" instead i say hello the name of me is blabla iam working onblabla" you get the point i Change what i wanna say bc i know there is a possibility i will stutter in a word. I think it is physical and psychological (in my case at least) i have bad teeths and i asked a dentist if this can affect talking skills and he said (yes or no it depends) I don't remember stuttering when i was young. I usually don't laugh or open my mouth because i have bad teeth and my up jaw part is in front of my under part so my jaw is shit and i need peaces.. That's why i am always shamed from myself and my ex dumped me bc her friends told her i am ugly and i have disgusting teeths(after 2 years) i am not asking for "feel strong you shouldnt care about ppl" i wanna know if anyone stutter like me and what do you do with your bad teeth problem ? Does it help after fixing your jaw and after fixing your crowded teeth ? please if you know anything can help comment. Thanks for reading even this is boring and no one might read this :(
