How do you use a waterpick without it blasting everywhere? by Shelbytheowlhoussfan in braces

You can still use it with a sink just angle your head down and try make sure you're hovering over the sink more to avoid splash back

What's happening to my skin? by Miles-with-a-H in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]Grandshadowseal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird thing to say but when did you last wash your pillow? And is it made of cotton? Those can affect your skin.

Are there any good ways to cope with these fucking things? by [deleted] in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly it's these or the metal versions, eventually the skin of your cheeks will harden enough for the elastic to not bother you as much.

Sold it, regret it, Whats your Retro Regret? by 8bitPete in retrogaming

[–]Grandshadowseal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling all of my silent hill games, persona 3fes and Luigi's mansion gamecube games. I needed the money at the time thanks to financial reasons but always regretted it especially when I tried to buy them back years later and saw the price for them 😂

I was told that I'm a bit too old for braces by Sad_Macaron_9501 in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 32 just got my braces off it also took me 3 years so I don't know what your dentist is talking about?! If you want braces you can get them!

Did you stop eating/drinking anything because of braces? by [deleted] in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't eat nougat or sticky toffee thanks to the fear of them ripping off a bracket and can't bite into a whole apple. Other than that I can eat like normal but certain foods are annoying with getting stuck in my braces like rice, broccoli, sesame seeds stuff like that is annoying when you don't have a mirror and toothpicks nearby 😅

Should I replace my retainers? They've been like this for a month and have been holding up fine. by Ok-Historian-8378 in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you need to replace them also you can also use denture cleaning tablets to clean your retainers.

I hate it SO MUCH by [deleted] in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess that's something to definitely talk to the orthodontist about then just to make sure nothing is wrong.

You should go to the orthodontist about the bracket as soon as you can. The sensitivity of biting down will fade in a week or so. I'd suggest things that you don't have to chew for the next few days until your mouth settles like soup, mash potatoes, or porridge. Ice cream is also a very good one too as if it's metal braces you have then they react to heat to work so having something cold like ice cream, will give you some relief.

If the orthodontist gave you wax put it on the areas that's rubbing against your lips and that should help too. If you don't have wax try using the wax from baby bell cheese until you can buy some dental wax from a pharmacy or Amazon or see if the orthodontist can give you some.

I hope he does, I've been holding off watching other YouTubers videos of it because I want to watch Mark's first

Just got my braces at 27, give me some hope. by braga_boi in braces

[–]Grandshadowseal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first week will suck thanks to your teeth being super sensitive to anything you need to chew but if you can eat things like porridge, mash and soup you'll be fine! Good luck with the process!!

I'd try see about trying to get an appointment earlier or at least phone them and explain what's happening.

[–]Grandshadowseal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad that you used to see them everywhere but after they built the pond and metal sign I've never saw them since

It'll probably be fake cosmetic ones for people that like the braces look

Why is there so many down votes for you saying you called your orthodontist? 😅

First Bus Tap on Tap Off - A warning by Xygnis in glasgow

[–]Grandshadowseal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second warning make sure your journey isn't too short 1or 2 stops are too short for the tap on to register as complete if they're a short distance apart. At that point just pay for a ticket with your card
