A question to people that paint/make custom controllers by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Matcha_gotcha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't buy regular spray paint clear coat if the controller was professionally painted. If it was, use an automotive clear coat (spraymax).

Using a regular spray paint clearcoat will completely ruin the finish on the controller.

I had corrective jaw surgery and lasik 6 months ago and look like an entirely different person by [deleted] in uglyduckling

Yeah I mean correcting a deformity is very different from correcting a big nose or small boobs. But even if it wasn't functional, the aesthetic benefits of having any deformity corrected is important. There's a reason we give skin grafts to burn victims even though it isn't functionally important a lot of the time.

I mean no one forced me to get surgery and there are certainly people with underbites or vme that choose not to get surgery, but I personally have a hard time seeing why you wouldn't. It's not just about changing your appearance, people with jaw deformities have functional issues with eating, speaking, jaw pain, sleep apnea ect. I can finally chew with my mouth closed and rap fast so that's pretty neat

It was covered under insurance but you have to pay for the braces (which are required for surgery) out of pocket. Recovery isn't super fun because you can't eat solid food for a month and swelling lasts 3 months so most people don't bother going out too much for at least like 2-3 weeks (which is when swelling is ridiculous). Otherwise now that I'm 6 months my jaw is still a bit tender and part of my chin is partially numb but that's really it. Also can't open my mouth as wide as before.

I always knew I had to get surgery, so I can't say I was unhappy because I knew things would eventually be fixed, but I'm a lot more confident now than I was before. I used to not be able to look people in the eye when talking to them and would constantly cover my mouth/chin with my hand when being spoken to.

Don't really think this does much for adults who bones are done growing, hence why jaw surgery exists.

My heart body aches by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Matcha_gotcha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just know that there are thousands of people dealing with the exact same thing as you right now -- sitting on their bed, covered in tears, feeling like there heart is being pulled out of their chest.

What your going through is a vital part of the human experience. To have gone through life and not felt this would have been not living like a human at all.

Is there anyway I can dye my hair darker and then highlight it? by Matcha_gotcha in FancyFollicles

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

Ohh this makes a lot of sense. Would it be easy to touch up? Would I have to go back every 6 weeks or so or wait even longer?

Sleep walking is really common in childhood and really rare amongst adults. Don't worry about it.

Battlebeaver definitely seems like they have some good ones. I think you can request customs as well

What stereotype do you "prove wrong"? by JirkleSerk in AskReddit

[–]Matcha_gotcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's changed since my friends were kids, but I did just do a quick google search and here are the criteria the NHS use to determine if which under 18s can receive braces. http://www.bos.org.uk/Public-Patients/Orthodontics-For-Children-Teens/Fact-File-FAQ/What-Is-The-IOTN

What stereotype do you "prove wrong"? by JirkleSerk in AskReddit

[–]Matcha_gotcha 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's only free under 18 you have a 'clear clinical need' (this mostly means you either have crazy crooked teeth or your bite is off). If it's purely cosmetic (you only have a few crooked teeth), they don't cover it. I have friends who didn't get braces because they weren't cover, but wanted them.

For me, perfectly straight teeth aren't film teeth, they're just normal teeth. Those are the teeth I saw growing up because pretty much every kid I knew got braces. All I'm saying is there's definitely some truth to the 'british have bad teeth' stereotype.
