Nope, my wisdom teeth have been working on that.

Yes. My spouse & I were just talking about that this morning.

My teeth have spread out more. Mouth structure feels different and smile looks different...bigger.
Feeling/looking more like Dad. less like Mom. Yay.

My teeth have gotten a few new gaps recently, but that's from having my wisdom teeth out and not wearing a retainer.

The teeth themselves are just as strong and healthy as ever (no cavities, etc).

I think my jaw's gotten stronger and as a result, my bad BAD habit of clenching my jaw when I'm frustrated translates to days when my mouth is actually sore from the clenching...
That's all...

probably due to a change in your jawline?

Ever so INTERSTING!
I'm experiencing the reverse on E.
Yes, in my case my jaw is moving to the back i.e. becoming less prominent. I noticed since some time.

Just thought to mention it, the reverse may be well true when going on T.
It obviously is not my a large margin.

Wow, that's really interesting! I badly need braces on my bottom teeth but seeing as with the NHS getting braces could take longer than getting T, maybe the T will sort them out for me!

Crap. I've noticed my teeth have been spacing themselves out lately, especially on the bottom. Not looking forward to them spacing some more when I start  T. I'm probably going to end up with a gap between the front two. I'm definitely not doing braces or anything like that, just gonna have to live with it.

Anyone notice a change in their under bite? Makes sense to me that it might get worse.
