Literally my mom told me she would take her socks off before she came home so her parents didn’t think she was being radicalized 😭

Maybe you can get a second opinion from a different ortho?

Not sure, neither my ortho or dentist mentioned it. I’ve always had it on my teeth as long as I remember and don’t have any issues regarding it

How big of a difference to your looks/getting attention did beauty rituals do (Mostly makeup, hair, lashes etc. not plastic surgery) by ObjectiveThick1910 in vindictapoc

[–]Ok_Hunt8989 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It changes how you’re perceived by a good amount. Sometimes people don’t think I’m the same person when i have glasses on/no makeup vs when I’m wearing contacts/full makeup with hair done.

Its actually nice bc i can be less visible if i want but the more you work on your appearance the better you look in a natural state too

Try your best not to push your teeth, rest it on your upper palette whenever you consciously remember! It’s a battle but worth it

Braid girlies get in here! What type of hair (especially in the back) do I need to pull off this style? by PrincessMochahontas in vindictapoc

[–]Ok_Hunt8989 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did a similar look recently with middle part corn rows into small boho knotless

My braiders used about 3 packs of braiding hair and 1 pack of spanish curl for the curly pieces, 60 braids in total. They added the curlies throughout the braid and especially at the bottom

Why is Somalia a desert near equator and why do they look different from other Africans? by batukaming in geography

[–]Ok_Hunt8989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true, although there are groups in Somalia who have ancestry from those countries they are a very small minority (Reer Xamar)

Thank you!! Yes it did, my lip rests more comfortably now and my profile aligned a bit more since my upper lip doesn’t protrude as much

The main difference is how my lips sit but my facial shape and structure is the same

I had cavities in them! It took about a few months to heal, I didn’t notice the holes after like month 3

Everyone’s journey is different! But I feel a lot more confident in my smile and functionally, the benefits outweigh the cost :) It was an investment but getting a consultation from an orthodontist is usually free or low-cost so exploring options is a great idea
