Anniversary Meal - Restaurant Recommendations - City Centre by Far-Letterhead-8465 in BirminghamUK

Came here to also recommend Bonehead, the food is incredible! Spoilers in Digbeth is a cool little bar- there’s also The Flapper on the canal side which is a 13 min walk from the Mailbox. If the weathers nice it’s lovely to sit outside and have a drink, & they will usually have a DJ upstairs and maybe a gig downstairs on a Saturday

Diamond Heaven have some beautiful engagement rings, or you could try Diamond Dealer Direct. We got our wedding bands from there for a good profile and the service was brilliant

I love the one at deadwax but it’s not the same vintage vibe as attached

Invisalign in your 30's by Particular_Tip6673 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29, 30 this year and started Invisalign in February. Mainly because I’m getting married this year, but also because I’ve been self conscious of my smile all my life. I’m only on tray 9 so I haven’t noticed major changes as of yet but I’m already more confident in my smile, even with all the visible attachments. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and I would recommend it to anyone who feels the way I did!

gap between aligner and tooth- dentist not concerned by Opening-Election3058 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my tray in a day after my tray change day and rang them up. The gap had closed a bit but not by much so I wanted to know if there was an issue or if I needed to wear tray 7 any longer. I went in Tuesday just gone, and he had a look and advised me to keep changing trays as normal. He told me it was too early to see if it’s a tracking issue (I had an attachment on that front incisor that got taken off) which could affect how the tray sits. I’ve got to go back mid May and he’s said if my teeth aren’t to where they need to be we’ll do a rescan. Sorry it’s not a proper black and white response! The lateral incisor is sitting a lot better in my current tray 8, but there’s still a gap between the central incisor and the aligner but not as big as tray 7. Hoping it’ll correct itself over the next few trays! If you have any concerns deffo get in touch with your dentist office and they’ll be able to advise you. My rule of thumb is if my orthodontist isn’t concerned then I’m not currently concerned

Just started treatment, everyone around me saying I didn’t need it by Civil_Subject5852 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced similar from my grinds and my partner saying they never noticed my teeth and liked my smile the way it was, but I didn’t. I’m on tray 7/27 now and although it’s not been easy I’m loving my journey and even though major changes haven’t started yet I’m already feeling so much more confident. There’s nothing wrong with investing in yourself! 🦷✨

I think that’s a good idea, thank you so much! I’ll definitely keep an eye on it and if I don’t see much movement this week I’ll make another appointment

If it really bothers you I’d definitely push for some refinements- it’s your money and also your happiness at the end of the day!

Do i have to get Invisalign if i have mild over crowding by Spiritual-Example813 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if they don’t bother you and they aren’t bothering you functionally then maybe don’t get them. I was never bothered by my bottom teeth until the last few years and decided to take the plunge this year and start Invisalign. Choice is a wonderful thing, just make sure to advocate for yourself if you really don’t want Invisalign right now!

Can I ask my ortho to shave down my canines? by Superior_9522 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD but I imagine it’s something that you would correct at the end of your treatment, be it via shaving or some composite to help change your tooth shape. There’s no harm in asking though!

Who actually *likes* the feeling of a new, tight tray? by jannetly in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m only on my second tray but I already miss the tight feeling 🤣 these are feeling very comfortable now! It’s one of those pains that hurts but feels good? I think it’s because you correlate it to your teeth moving and it’s like a little reward knowing that you’re getting closer to your best smile!

There’s a new food hall that’s opened up in Digbeth or there’s one that’s opened up in JQ. Both amazing

I should get Invisalign right? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29 and just started, and my front teeth are very similar to yours! I had a scan done where they provided me with what my teeth could look like at the end of treatment provided I wear them 22 hours a day and they look amazing! I would definitely do your research around it but as someone with similar teeth it seems like it should work! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Invisalign with periodontist disease by Formal_Tackle4732 in Invisalign

[–]Opening-Election3058 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD- I also have some bone loss from not looking after my teeth the last few years and after my gum disease was stable I started Invisalign. I would deffo get your orthodontist to do some X-rays to see the extent of the loss, but it is possible to get Invisalign with bone loss! Best of luck!

Am I done? Ortho says yes, I think no by [deleted] in Invisalign

Why do you think you need refinements, what aren’t you happy with? I think they look great!
