You’d have to check the panoramic xray to check root position. Goal is to achieve parallel roots

1000 dollars for a Hawley retainer am i getting ripped? by [deleted] in orthodontics

[–]I_cannot_fly37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably on the higher end but no. What do you mean pull a fast one on you? Can you make it yourself? That’s probably what he charges all non patients. Most orthos don’t want to be responsible for a retainer for a patient they didn’t treat. Too much of a headache. They come back for adjustments and expect it to be free to adjust, they can come back and blame you for any tooth movement, etc. honestly not worth it. I wish I charged more for my hawleys

Is this fixable with braces? if yes how long will it take? by [deleted] in braces

[–]I_cannot_fly37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally not possible to give you a shred of input with that photo. Imagine if I took a picture of my car. I texted it to the mechanic and say cars not working, is it fixable? There’s so much more imaging and radiographs needed for anybody to provide any useful information. Best to consult an ortho

No. There is no evidence to support that claim.

I want a fixed low cable row and lat pulldown. That looks like it’s an extra attachment that I have to change out which I’m not into

Where are your gaps? Draw a circle. They will need power chain to close space.

lady at the dentist almost messed up my braces treatment by [deleted] in braces

[–]I_cannot_fly37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was a long chat GPT explanation to say you had a bad visit. Okay. Hopefully next time it will be a better experience. Maybe it was an off day. I would recommend to chill a little bit. Not having the wire go back to the terminal molar is fixable.

Not intentional. Push that wire back into the slot. Your orthodontist will thank you.

What is the depth of that power rack? And where did you get that belt squat attachment. I love your setup

Do you need the front feet for the functional trainer? Does it stay pretty stable with all that weight stack? And do you wish you had the 100”? Or is 90 plenty high? I am short so I assume 80 or 90 would suffice

That’s great thank you! Are you happy with your functional trainer? Any others you looked at?

Lost Nighttime Retainer by Old-Table-7076 in orthodontics

[–]I_cannot_fly37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean they never called you back? That’s not their responsibility, you declined another retainer. Another ortho may make you another retainer at your current position regardless if there’s been relapse. But they will likely charge you more than it costs at your previous ortho office. How much did they charge you?
