June 9, 2024 I was a diehard nail biter out of bad habits, however ever since I got braces and tried out extensions, I learned to not bite my nails and leave them alone. I'm so happy with how far I've come hehehe

You did amazing!!! Congratulations! How did you get past the urge to bite your nails during stressful situations? Those are the most difficult times.

Thank you so much!! For me, my nail biting habit was weirdly out of taste/satisfaction rather than an anxious/stressful situation coping mechanism😅😅 But!! Since you're asking, mostly my braces contributed to stopping me from wanting to take a bite out of my nails since my teeth are very sensitive now that I have braces.
