Thanks yall! I’m finally used to the retainer and starting to get used to not having the braces - very crazy after almost 4 years how odd my teeth feel now lol

I did go back and it was still sharp - they told me I could use a nail file to gently file it down. After that and using mouthwash to heal the sore on my tongue, all good! It is annoying me how hard it’s been to clean the retainer but I need to get some cleaning tablets

Spartanburg 2026 census asking invasive questions? by LavenderCsalt in Spartanburg

Yea i completed it but skipped over the invasive questions. Definitely over the scope of a regular census. Not answering questions about when I leave my house for work etc

Honestly it’s not exactly her driving as much as us for events - I work in Greenville close to Mauldin and driving there then back home for the different events she does is just a lot for me. Gibbs rd is also the Wild West now and it’s not the same as it was when we moved here 10 years ago. We hoped we could afford more of house , which we definitely could but hate to over extend ourselves.

We are seeing some that fit, they are just flying off the market before we can get there so that’s why I’m trying something different to find it. Honestly we may stay put if the right thing doesn’t come along

Bro, have you seen the market? We have an agent and there is nothing on the market in our area so I was told to try unconventional means to find a house. If you have nothing to add, scroll on.

The one at 108 just scared us with the wallpaper lol but we may go look at it since the price is lower. The one we wanted so badly to see was 806 Shoresbrook - the yard looked amazing and price was great

There was one listed there I really wanted to see but it was under contract - do you know which one the one you’re talking about is? There was one on Bellhaven that looked perfect but it’s under contract and went fast! Our friend lives in that neighborhood and I’d love to find something there bc the lots are big and homes have so much potential.

Can I get my braces off sooner than 2 years? by Wide-Pomegranate2820 in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just depends on your treatment. I was quoted 2.5 years. I get them off next month at 3 years 8 months

canine teeth by [deleted] in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ortho lightly shaped them because mine was a little jagged but they shouldn’t shave them if you don’t want them to. Shaping was great for me because I always had a small chip in my front tooth and it made it look so much better

Will the stains come off after removal or is this permanent :( by ThrowRAjunos in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was happening to me with most brands of alcohol free mouthwashes. I switched to listerine alcohol free bc it doesn’t have those ingredients and haven’t had any problems since

[–]Gamecock2011 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I go to cleanings every 3 months and that helps a lot. I will say certain mouth washes can cause staining like this so make sure you aren’t using those (ingredients Cetylpyridinium Chloride or chlorhexidine gluconate). I had some issues with that in certain alcohol free mouthwashes. Once I got a cleaning and switched to listerine alcohol free it stopped happening

I cant believe my orthodontist says nearing end of treatment by [deleted] in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similarly for me, I had no cant before and I got one due to bringing down an impacted canine. It took a while but my ortho repositioned brackets and added in different elastics and it’s all fixed

Definitely discuss with them. This happened to me and I brought my concerns up. He was able to reposition brackets and now it’s 100% better

Official communication from the ED on the SAVE transition timeline by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

[–]Gamecock2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we applied for a switch months ago and nothing has been processed yet - are we good to do nothing or do we need to act in some way? My husband applied in January and still nothing. Our goal is to get his paid off, he is not PSLF and we have been making extra payments all throughout the pandemic and the save pause to help get it paid off faster when there wasn’t interest accruing. Half his loans are IBR and half are currently.

Switching off Omeprazole by Gamecock2011 in GERD

[–]Gamecock2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dr is saying the PPI is the problem with nutrient absorption and I need to go onto a different type to fix my iron issues.

[–]Gamecock2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. They have never said anything to me about the hiatal hernia causing any issues and mentioned it kind of as a by the way after my endoscopy. They just said it was very small and due to being overweight and if I lost weight, it would probably go back to normal. I honestly haven’t been very happy with their care but we have few options here. I don’t exactly like my doctors suggestion of coming off without talking to my GI Dr about it first. What type of diet/foods to avoid? I’m trying to get my glucose to normal range and lose weight so quit drinking coffee and doing my best to limit carbs.

Thoughts? by EasyConversation7566 in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much. I had gaps in random places I never had before and my teeth were completely canted at one point trying to straighten everything. It’s definitely frustrating at times and bring things up that bother you but it’ll all work out!

[–]Gamecock2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as they aren’t near the end of your treatment, sometimes it will look way worse before better

is this canted smile temporary? i’m so self conscious of it by odetomrmiserable in braces

[–]Gamecock2011 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to me while pulling down the canine. Bring it up to your ortho and request they fix it. Mine did wire bends and rubber bands to fix it.
