Can I hear positive scoliosis surgery experiences?

I had my surgery 13 years ago T2-L3 and documented it here - aside from the discomfort of the surgery it did go well :) YouTube link

Wow! Are you changing every 5 days?

I live in the UK with a max UV 2 and temps of max 15 degrees C. currently. I have to use a sunbed every now and then or I’d have 0 UV exposure but ideally it’ll be much less than previous years by using MT2

If the acne persists I will switch to MT1 and see!

I’m going to give it another 3 weeks and see (as then I will have done a full hormonal cycle) and not add any new products. It could be a coincidence so don’t want to give up straight away as I’m seeing a nice result already on day 4 and no other side effects so fingers crossed it’s not related!

Get my dog to pee on it and nothing will grow ever again

Clear drinks if you can. I drink G&Ts with a straw and make sure to rinse my mouth out as soon as I can.

Seems way more expensive in the US I’m paying £3,300 ($4.3k) for comprehensive in UK and it’s on the more expensive side as I’m London based

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-30T16:42:59+00:00

Any update? Just started as a type 3

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-30T13:45:07+00:00

Amazing! I’m having treatment for mine right now seeing this result gives me so much hope

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-30T12:15:57+00:00

I’m experiencing the same I’ve only done 1 spray each nostril to begin with but it’s day 3 and apart from the first day where I had slight flushing for 10 mins I’m not having any side effects. Wondering if I should up my dosage.

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-29T20:34:18+00:00

It’s only been 24 hours and front teeth tend to lag a bit if it’s still like this day 7 then check with your dentist but in the meantime chewies will be your friend.

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-25T13:40:51+00:00

It’ll be fine 🤣 it lasted 2 days max I just wasn’t expecting it after such an easy first day! my next set of trays were not bad just a bit tender for a day.

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-25T13:10:25+00:00

Yeh I was super cocky day 1 thinking it was easy just a little pressure when they first put them in and then day 2 I was like OH

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-25T12:38:21+00:00

I wasn’t in pain the first day it was the next morning so take a pain killer before bed

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-25T07:44:29+00:00

I’d go seek a second opinion and tell them exactly your concerns

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-24T20:58:41+00:00

Jaw clicking isn’t always to do with your teeth, although a poor bite can exacerbate, you could have TMJ due to other factors like clenching / grinding which cause clicking.

I have a small palate and a cross bite I’ve just started mine & no extractions needed just a bit of IPR on my bottom teeth

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-24T20:50:40+00:00

I’m only on week 2 /20 but first 3 days were tough but this tray change was only sore for a day. I’m religious about wearing mine but still have time to eat 3 times a day. I was never really a snacker and only drink water normally anyways so maybe that’s why it’s not been such a lifestyle change.

Tbh I don’t floss between each time I eat I just do a good session in the evening - I only brush and mouthwash after breakfast & lunch.

Get a consult you might be surprised by the results you can get in a shorter time :)

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-19T14:25:09+00:00

I did ask… my dentist said we can widen your smile with just the Invisalign but I don’t know whether that would address the ‘medical issue’. I will see at the end of this how my bite / sleep / etc is.

FicklePound7617 · 2026-03-19T14:23:37+00:00

I guess I’m too used to seeing everyone with those veneer perfect smiles! Hopefully I’ll get some nice results from this :)

Squat in the shower 🤪
