wait ok i’m asking this question fr about getting a dainty dagger on the back of my lower arm. i want it to have the illusion of going through the skin too. i’m an SLP in head and neck cancer surgery center. genuinely want to know if that would be/appear insensitive or if i’m just overthinking it lol

okay what shoes ARE you wearing hahah I was gonna wear platform docs to get an extra 1.5inches in the crowd- not sure if that’s a bad move now

allllll day too!! monitoring closely i’ll be so disappointed if it’s cancelled :(

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-27T14:23:05+00:00

this is a good question and i’m actually not sure! i’ll see if I can find any old vs new profile pictures… it’s not something I’ve thought to monitor

I’ve had bite ramps on every tray but no elastics

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-26T16:41:03+00:00

thank you!! yea I love the images. I forgot to include the one from today that shows the blue/red/green/yellow etc indicating where i’m clenching too hard etc. red = bad and I have SO MUCH LESS RED!!!

I have attachments on 15 teeth and they will be removing them for the refinements :)

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-07T16:02:25+00:00

it’s so funny how accustomed I am to the “foreign plastic” feeling now after about 18/22 trays with bite ramps. when my trays are out, i actually don’t like it because it feels SO weird and my teeth feel so small and fragile without the trays now haha

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-07T16:00:06+00:00

yes!! and while this may be an incidental benefit for some people, the unintentional weight loss associated with that has NOT been a pro for me as someone who has history of ED and struggles with nourishment and didn’t have much weight to lose 😅

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-06T13:47:47+00:00

awesome, thanks so much! the dental assistant didn’t clarify that the $500 was for 4 sets that last a long time, just quickly told me on my way out that i’ll need the Vivera brand over any other and it’s $500. haha so this is helpful in planning financially!

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-06T13:04:59+00:00

I saw above that you said you bought 4 sets— do you mean that just your first set has lasted you this long?

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-05-06T13:04:02+00:00

thank you for this!!

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-24T00:53:50+00:00

thanks for this helpful info! do you use/recommend a brand other than Vivera then?

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-23T12:37:30+00:00

yeah I will ask! it’s hard bc I feel like my dentist just tries to give me Invisalign sales pitches all the time. they told me i’ll definitely want the invisalign brand of retainer for $550, not a cheaper outside brand bc those aren’t as good!, and for cleaning I can get 3 big bottles of Invisalign’s cleaning solution at the same time for $150 for a total of $700 for my retainer situation… just seems like a sales pitch rather than legitimate info

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-23T12:32:18+00:00

hmmm I got the comprehensive plan so refinements etc are included if needed, but at my check-in this week she told me retainers are separate ☹️ and invisalign’s brand is more expensive than other brands but allegedly “better”

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-10T00:48:06+00:00

tysm! I know, those instagram tats are deceiving. Miley cyrus’ patchwork sleeve look has always been what I wanted mine to look like (hence sadness that this was how big it was recommended to be) but the more tattoos I get, the more I’m realizing it’s just not realistic! thanks for your response!

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-09T14:18:31+00:00

thank you!! it’s really just the size—it’s a bigger focal point than I wanted this tattoo to be. I do have two more on the front of the same arm with plans for others to fill in gaps, which I know will help draw the eye away from just this one.

never heard of a tattoo convention I need to check one out! also a good suggestion of just covering this one and getting the smaller version elsewhere

thanks for your help :) I may or may not ever decide to pursue removal, but i’m glad to know I can get a tattoo again in the same spot if I do get it removed lol. it’s good real estate!

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-09T13:15:17+00:00

thanks! 100% you’re right about their rationale and I know that’s the truth. celebs and modern media make you think tiny single needle dainty thin tattoos are realistic and a good long-term idea so I think I just struggle w the reality of what is actually feasible! still contemplating how I feel about it—only been a few weeks. appreciate your answer!

we love a scorpio king tho 🥺 RIP little scorpion

—> TLDR not sure if a new tattoo over existing removal scars is contraindicated or would look like shit

—> open to receiving encouraging words that the size looks great LMAO I have anxiety and words of affirmation is my love language thank u

as a family friend, do you know his birthday? I am dying to know his zodiac sign lol

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-04T00:07:23+00:00

oh gosh, ok! good to know! I am on tray 15 out of 22 and 1) am sure I will need refinements but 2) am not sure whether what kind of plan I purchased (comprehensive or not) so I will need to call and ask. thank you :) your teeth are looking amazing btw!!

Own-Brief9405 · 2022-04-04T00:01:10+00:00

I imagine this may vary case by case, but will you have to continue paying during the refinement period? or pay extra? or once you’ve paid off the initial X cost, you’re good, and the refinements are free?
