... having my four lower incisors and canines replaced with six teeth on two implants, I can attest to how extensive the work can be. For me it spanned a couple years with bone grafting and other procedures.
The thing is I have been incredibly ashamed at the need for replacement. When it became clear that is where I was heading, I was mortified.
I had had unexplained internal resorption in otherwise healthy teeth that ultimately led to successive root canals and ultimately extraction.
When things started to go down hill, I went from being conscientious about brushing, flossing, and cleanings to being obsessive.
Every dentist, periodontist, and later prosthodontist assured me that despite excellent habits, I had an isolated area of massive bone loss, that, along with the "idiopathic" internal resorption had brought me to a place I would have only associated with people who did a lousy job of taking care of their teeth.
I was a kid who came of age when a thing called "serial extraction" was the "treatment" for a narrow palate. Years of orthodontics apparently had unanticipated effects much later in life. Had I been born later, the treatment would have been palette expansion. Both my nieces had this and never even needed braces.
Anyway, of all the horrors associated with his psychopathy and malignant narcissism, the issues with his teeth are interesting, and probably contribute to his decompensation (yeah, you are not perfect guy) but if there is any intention to imply that the problems are necessarily indicative of his infinite number of character flaws, I reject that notion.
