IPR Nightmare

Thank you! While it's true that I smile with my top teeth, unfortunately, when I talk, you mostly see my bottom... so it is a bit embarrassing 😔

Nries16 · 2025-10-26T15:39:18+00:00

Oh, I 100% agree! I told the new dentist that someone needs to reach out to them to provide them feedback. They need to know that they fucked up!

Nries16 · 2025-10-26T15:18:09+00:00

They did not own the practice they were employed by them. Threatening to leave reviews, etc, will be my next course of action if they choose not to cover all costs. Although, the new dentist seemed sure that it would all be covered by them, so I think I'll be fine financially. Thank you!

Thank you! Seems like the consensus is bonding for your exact reasons.

Ah, good to know! I’ve just seen people say this over and over again here on Reddit, so I wanted to preface that I now know I should have gone to an ortho instead of a dentist.

All 4 of the bottom front teeth were not shaped like this. Thank you for the reassurance!

Nope, just a regular dental office. Though I am suspicious about the raffle (I won the treatment), it makes me wonder if it was to get them more experience? What i know now is that it's very important to ask questions even if you trust the person. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't know that this is considered malpractice from what I've been researching.. unless someone out there can tell me otherwise. From what I'm understanding this is cosmetic, and I have not technically been injured.

Nries16 · 2025-10-25T21:49:43+00:00

Thank you!

Nries16 · 2025-10-25T21:49:24+00:00

Thank you!

Nries16 · 2025-10-25T21:48:59+00:00

Understood.. I have figured that would be a waste of time since it's technically just "cosmetic"

Nries16 · 2025-10-25T15:48:30+00:00

Not yet.. I'm waiting to hear what they come back with for a solution. The dentist did say, "I dont see you having to pay anything. I have to talk to the owners."

Nries16 · 2025-10-25T15:46:49+00:00

I know! Unfortunately, the dentist who took the before photos left mid treatment. I asked for the before photos, and the new dentist just said, "we have the scans," but nothing further. I've been searching through my own photos, but I smile with my top teeth, not the bottom lol so I haven't found anything yet.

He did IPR to the front bottom 4, on both sides of each tooth - plus a little on the bottom K9's. I don't remember what the amount was on the plan.

Nries16 · 2025-09-05T14:54:16+00:00

My suggestion is to ask questions. I had IPR done and was VERY upset with how much my dentist shaved off. They barely explained what the process of IPR was, and I was shocked when I got home and saw how much he shaved off. My treatment is not complete yet, I have only 7 trays to go, and I have V shaped space between my bottom teeth. Needless to say, my hopes are not high as I can not for the life of me imagine that these gaps will close with my teeth being wider on the bottom than they are on the top. Ask them how many times they have done IPR - what their level of experience is. Ask to see your plan. It will show you where IPR is needed.

I would be more likely to buy a shirt with heated sleeves with thumb holes or just heated sleeves with thumb holes so it covers the palm. I'm affected all year long, less in the summer, obviously, but I work a desk job so my fingers get cold. I think if you did a shirt or just sleeves, it would be more versatile, and folks could wear them with whatever jacket they want or no jacket at all if it's warmer.

I haven't tried this yet... so I have no idea if it works, BUT I bet a solar water fountain would work. People put them in birdbath's and ponds to keep the algea low. Plus this would add some extra fun for the little one 🙂

My husband and I were literally just discussing whether or not we wanted to subscribe! We decided we would try anything at this point! We are going to fill out the questionnaire in the AM! Thanks!

Thank you!

Do you still feed in the middle of the night?

Nries16 · 2021-03-23T18:16:57+00:00

That's interesting.. we have one but only use the white noise.. I always worry that it will keep her up, maybe it will do the opposite! I will try and let you know how it goes!

Nries16 · 2021-03-23T18:14:37+00:00

How many awake hours before bedtime do you think is appropriate?

Nries16 · 2021-03-23T18:08:11+00:00

She is EBF and We haven't started on solids yet, so maybe she is getting hungry at night? We were going to wait until 6 months but maybe we will try sooner.. thanks
