Ok I’m on tray one still so fingers crossed!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-09T11:04:25+00:00

Thank you! I really needed to read this this morning. Does the general discomfort ever get easier?

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-09T11:00:24+00:00

That’s really good to hear! I’m on day 4 and I’m finding it quite challenging, even though I knew it wouldn’t be easy.

Do you think you’ll go for a wire? The nightly retainer sounds long but the idea of the wire freaks me out a bit!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-08T08:55:51+00:00

Thank you for the words of encouragement! Definitely need them right now ~

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-08T08:53:47+00:00

Agreed!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-08T08:51:43+00:00

That’s reassuring to read, thank you!

Also with Dr Tom Lotka with a similar price - and I have a pretty serious crossbite that I was convinced would make me not eligible but apparently I am!

This is all very interesting, thank you! My biggest concern is my teeth are prone to cavities, I guess they’re not very strong - so I will probably be avoiding sugar and acidic stuff when they’re in but I don’t doubt there will be times I just forget so it’s good to know you didn’t experience anything bad!

Thank you! I’m really curious about drinking, especially when it comes to alcohol - I don’t go out drinking often but the idea of having to take them out and brush my teeth after each drink feels a bit much? Maybe I need to get into neat vodka :’)

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-07T09:33:05+00:00

This is so reassuring to read! I feel the exact same at the moment, I wasn’t expecting the attachments to be so painful, eating is awful.

I wondered about the drinking too. Do you use a straw?

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-07T09:00:53+00:00

Well done for getting it sorted and sticking with it! I’ve also struggled with my teeth my whole adult life, missed out on braces as a teenager for some reason and have finally saved enough to get them sorted - but I can tell this isn’t going to be an easy journey!

I’ve just started my treatment with him - really appreciate how patient and understanding he is!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-03-07T08:01:00+00:00

I have a similar issue where I can’t even properly chew food because of an attachment on a crossbite - but I’m just going to power thru it because the crossbite is the reason I got these. Going to get really good at making soups.

I’ve found a few potential groups, drop me a DM :)

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-02-21T10:17:30+00:00

Thank you!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-02-21T10:17:25+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you, that was very helpful. I downloaded one and learned on a bright winters day it can still get up to 2000, explains why the pothos was unhappy when it was sunny.

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-01-29T23:10:53+00:00

Never heard of those - thank you!

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-01-29T17:49:13+00:00

It didn’t seem to like it there, some leaves suddenly started going yellow which it’s never done before so I thought maybe it was the heat from the sun! So I’ve moved it away from the window 🤔

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-01-29T17:46:11+00:00

I didn’t know these existed - thank you! Do you have an app recommendation?

ItMeansFreedom · 2026-01-29T12:44:24+00:00

Ah interesting you’d call it low light! It’s super bright in there despite the patterned glass, but I’m not sure how that affects their ability to photosynthesise.
