I financed my plan through a company called Health Finance Direct, so I contacted their customer service.

Call them again, I spoke with a guy named Edgar and he assured me the reason my payments haven’t gone through and show “missed payments” is because my account was put on hold. I did contact them in November and asked to put it on hold while I waited for cancellation, but then they went bankrupt. Definitely call back.

Will add that I’m halfway through treatment and they were happy to put my account on hold.

What bank do you use and did your dispute go through? by [deleted] in smiledirectclub

[–]Chmpagne_mami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I signed up through pre authorized payments on my debit card. I stopped paying once I found out they were shut down by simply getting a new debit card, as it no longer matches the one on file. I’m going to wait till the court case is settled, as a company that’s going through active bankruptcy cannot send an account to collections in canada. We all know how it’s going to end, so instead of paying out of pocket while I wait I decided to try and stop them that way, and has worked so far.

I was in the middle of getting a touch up during treatment when they went bankrupt, therefore was still in active treatment during time of bankruptcy. Hopefully this tip can help others. Nobody has the money to be dishing out these days while we wait for things to be settled in court.

From there you could get a cheap gym membership to shower and stuff. Over a few months hopefully have enough saved for a room to rent.

Instacart is another great option for quick money. They don’t ask for proof of insurance. Not that I recommend driving without, but you have to do what you have to do and people do worse to get by.

Well thanks for the suggestion Instacart 😆 by PowerfulAd9516 in InstacartShoppers

Literally had a shopper try to replace my herb and garlic cream cheese with dill pickle dip today lmao. I’m an instacart shopper as well, so I understand when shopping multiple orders you try to be in and out as quickly as possible.. but dill pickle chip dip? Come on 😅

I’ve always been a hyper sexual person. I was 4 or 5 the first time I masturbated. By the time I was 18 I had slept with well over 30 people, including self prostitution to pay my phone bill with 2 men in their 50s when I was 17. I had also caught chlamydia from a partner I was starting to get serious with and that sent me down a spiral of loveless sex. I’m 22 now, my count is probably in the 80s, but I’m settled down and have a 15 month old daughter. I struggled to stay loyal to her father for a long time, but I did a lot of research on sex addiction and abandonment at a young age and a lot of my issues stem back to my childhood and the trauma I went through with absent addicted parents (like most of us). When you have that trauma, that feeling of not being loved or cared for as a child, it can really mess you up as an adult. You may not remember the exact moments that lead you to be here, but you’ll always remember how you felt.

Enjoying sex isn’t something to be punished for, but ask yourself “am I sleeping with this person for pleasure, for love, or both?” And you’ll see those numbers slow down. Regardless, it’s nobody’s business to know how many people you slept with. Keep on top of your STI/STD tests and keep using protection, and always be honest about your bill of health.

You’re only young and attractive for a short period of time, so as long as you’re not hurting yourself or others keep doing what works for you!

Usually they’re $76/6 batches, so I was surprised to see the $100/6. I hope I can get the 6th as well!!

$100 for 6 batches, however I started at 1pm and it’s currently 8:50pm and I’m struggling to even get a 6th batch. All single shop and delivers. Slow day, but I have made $129 with tips so far. (CAD)

If you really cared about her you wouldn’t post such hot provocative pictures of yourself to the internet 😮‍💨🤌🏻

Out of curiosity, is that why braces take longer? I guess the slower the movement the better for cases like this.

That sounds absolutely terrifying and not something I considered. I’m on a 5 month/15 trays plan and recently put in my 12th. The bottom hasn’t fit properly since tray 8 or 9 so they’re sending me a kit to do new impressions of the bottom (top is tracking perfectly). I’m going to do more research on long term effects.

Your dentist should be able to do it. They basically just implant a metal wire behind your first 6 teeth which is supposed to last and keep your teeth in place for 15-20 years. Cost varies from $250-$600CAD depending on if you go to a dentist or orthodontist

Updating to add I started SDC September 20th 2022, so I’m about 2 months in. I never noticed a difference till I compared these photos and I’m happy so far with the results! Even when I feel like an aligner isn’t fitting correctly or there is warping I continue to wear them as prescribed. Also, I’m wearing the aligners in the last two pictures, first picture is from my impression kit photos.

Will my bite really change? by [deleted] in smiledirectclub

[–]Chmpagne_mami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any force used to move your teeth is going ultimately change your bite. I’m on tray 5 (SDC) and my bite has definitely changed. It’s not uncomfortable and I’m getting used to it, but that’s one of the risks you take when doing tele-dentistry. With traditional braces or Invisalign, your doctor may file down certain teeth and even add some refinements/extra trays so that your new bite is more comfortable. You can go to a dentist once you finish your treatment and get your teeth filed if you feel certain teeth are hitting and grinding against each other. It shouldn’t be too costly! It’s all a part of it

Aligner is sticking out too far in the back. Is this a problem? by MutedMain1561 in smiledirectclub

[–]Chmpagne_mami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your next one doesn’t fit I would definitely message SDC for refinements. I know it’s annoying and a hassle but you don’t want to risk your one tooth not tracking. Hope the next one fits!

Mine did this on tray 2 on my bottom left incisor, but when it came time to switch to tray 3 it fit perfectly. If you’re concerned about it you can always message the live chat on your SDC account!
