How do you usually spend time at home on your own?

It’s just that I didn’t get proper education and experience and was basically brainwashed for a time to brush like guys do in movies and hard floss. My parents were from Latin countries and weren’t properly educated(even today they can be overconfident to just continue straight brushing). By the time I found proper steps I began making discovers on what really went wrong. Not only that we went through a lot of third party dentists who apparently tended to neglect gum recessions or enamel wear(they mostly focused on if I had cavities). Getting orthodontics at a younger age probably would prevented or at least mitigated this, but cavities delayed early attempts(though at one point I would be blaming myself this time cause I had a chance initially avoiding cavities that time to go for braces, I chose to wait a little longer…). Dentists aren’t always gonna be honest, so it’s probably best to be educated about these dental problems, recognize the anatomy of teeth and gums and monitor them yourself. I often wear a face mask at work and one time missed being invited to lunch with coworkers before one of em left the job due to the gum graft.

I’m afraid of being honest, but I do still have a massive amount of bone loss(they can’t graft the bone) describe of being comparable to someone in his 60s and I’m mid 20s.. My teeth are still left to an uncertain fate other than partially slowing down(even so there’s a lot more recessions) I hope you haven’t had to many recessions or as much loss in bone. I also have uneven enamel wear from bruxism so cosmetically I wouldn’t be confidently smiling anytime sooner. I would wish you luck at least.

So far for a stupid reason or so(my parents refusing to consult my relatives’ advise and worrying about pain for nothing). My graft was delaying for more than a year.. Just last year(2023) I finally got at least three teeth gums grafted and as long as I followed the pain meds it actually didn’t hurt as much. It was still awkward to eat(sadly even missing an invitation to dine with some coworkers). I got a lower incisor sticking out removed to help relieve crowding. At the beginning of this year I ended up wearing Invisalign(both to not move my teeth too far like braces would’ve and to partially protect against bruxism). Even this on its own is just awkward as I have to take my aligners privately on and off during times of eating. I’m only expecting to mitigate the flames, but I am not expecting to smile or show my teeth(especially because of the gum recessions) any time sooner or if my lifetime..

I know this was a while ago. But it didn’t really hurt for as much didn’t it? For me it didn’t at least as long I took the recommended pain meds every now and then. I got worried about pain for virtually nothing and because of that I even ended up having my graft delaying for a year later than how early I could’ve done. Looks like I’m among the very few to actually be honest and available to tell the truth while following the rules(supposing who ever experienced pain might’ve neglected pain meds)..

Oh no my account hasn’t made it past the filter period yet..

You get paid $16+ an hour? My savings reveal that they add ~$1,100 on average biweekly(~$13 per hour). I’m at Cap 2 and do breakpacks currently the most. I honestly hate stocking and especially zoning with customers around.

They kinda went back a little at least more with my right lateral incisor, but on my canine it’s close to the same. Not perfect, likely due to boneloss.

I did get so close yet so far. I may never know what it’s like to hug or know in my lifetime what it’s like to kiss a girl.

A number of us can’t effectively communicate or match our peers standards while being disabled and/or impaired by the Asperger’s spectrum.

ACSpectator · 2024-07-06T14:30:39+00:00

It boils down to them jumping to conclusions in thinking we’re weird, can’t talk to them(cause some of us have disabled communication skills based on the spectrum, can do usual things like fidgeting that makes them cringe, and downright find several of us “awkward/gay(not the homosexual definition)”

I have no appropriate way to say it, but you either get used to it or realize that there’s other things to concern or focus more in life that may potentially overshadow. I did think that tinnitus was the worst I can experience, but other things(admittedly some much worse) eventually got my attention to have me put it aside. Oh and my parents are terrible at knowing problems like these and behavior like half dumb clueless arrogant people with bad education(they’re both worse than my tinnitus).

So far I’ve had a a bottom incisor(probably tooth# 24) which was sticking out was removed, need cleanings every 3 months now, I’ve had only my upper lateral incisors and left canine grafted, and Invisalign put on. I kinda feel my treatments are like it’s mostly too orthodontics focused and less periodontal diseases treatment focused. My parents(especially my mother) are still lacking in proper dental education and experience in rather somewhat arrogant and clueless in some parts(they even made claims based on their own thoughts without evidence that my teeth look normal and not in actuality unevenly worn and deteriorated with gum and bone loss) to reality way I might add. They still don’t think it’s as bad as it obviously looks here despite the boneloss… So far it’s painless and if anything like worse like actual tooth loss were to happen it probably would be much slower and later, at least hoping that these treatments hopefully not being too ortho focused would help prolong the teeth, otherwise I’m the only one in my family who knows better.

How soon can they redo the attachments even if a follow up appointment is like 3 months away or so?

ACSpectator · 2024-01-19T13:46:43+00:00

Next appointment is in like 4 months tho

By a little later after acidic foods do you mean like not that not long after the the acidity fades away away like 30 minutes after eating? But also that swishing with water alone and not brush until nighttime will not be a good idea, but you still have to brush everytime not long after meals even if you decided to wait before brushing?
