Zometa Infusions — your experience?

I also get Zometa infusions about every 4 to 6 months. Here's my problem.................it has affected my jaw and my teeth are moving. My bottom teeth (in front) are now completely crooked and my molars on the top hit my tongue when I talk. By the time I figured it out, they had already shifted. My teeth have always been straight and I hate this! So, now I'm looking into Invisalign.

Wow---so what had the BC Drs. & DDS told you exactly was causing this severe shifting of your teeth? Is it that the jaw bone just started locking up due to severe mineralization? No one ever tells you the details!!!
I have necrosis of tissue near my horrible experiences with 2 diffrent types of rounds of radiation the last being the worst due to recurrence of BC to my arm pit twice '19 and '22
The difference in radiation in '22 was called Hypofractionated radiation so you just have 5 intense treatments to the site....,but no one told me what the really BAD side affects would be...now I have the start of sclerosis to some upper left area of my lung and there's also cell necrosis to some tissue that was radiated near my face of armpit . I have had periodontal disease and a molar extracted 7 yrs ago so I'm wary of my 2nd Zometa infusion this yr....among other worries of this Metastatic BC Bone lesion.
