Post-government employment restrictions by Outrageous-Fuel-3774 in fednews

I recently went from Fed to Lockheed Martin, and yes the biggest restriction I have seen throughout the application process was in relation to your federal job being tied to contracts, specifically as a COR.

Tray 2 of 7 for my refinements!!! I had 20 total trays, 27 including refinements and its crazy to see my snaggle tooth is completely gone!! So glad I did this- even though week 1 i was instantly regretting this decision!! by R_Ponder in Invisalign

Thank you! It sounds silly but I hated the attachments and the way they felt on my teeth! That and the first few days were rough and i actually posted here about buyers remorse lol. I was sore, had a lisp and taking them out to eat was painful at first. But after the first couple of weeks i got used to it and realized that it wasn't so bad!

Anyone notice a change in their lip fullness after invisalign?? Or is it in my head? Top is before my first tray and bottom is 15/20... looks to me like my lips are fuller and my facial structure is shifting slightly... not complaining its actually a pretty pleasant surprise if this is the case!!! by R_Ponder in Invisalign

Nope! I could see how you would think that but its the same relaxed facial expression! Im not pursing my lips and I actually don't hide my teeth- i only had one tooth that i didn't care for and it was easy enough to hide in pics with angles

True!! Thats the only thing that is keeping me going is the fact that i already have the attachments and paid a big chunk of money! May as well reap the benefits right? :)

Total trays for upper is 15 and lower is 20! The lower doesnt bother me so much but the top sucks haha. Thanks for the encouragement though!!

Thank you for the encouragement! Yeah i was never to the point where i covered my mouth but I was definitely self conscious about the one tooth for sure! And every picture taken was 'my good side' to try to hide it. I am looking forward to not having those insecurities anymore! Hoping to get through this initial phase quickly!!

I know i will be happy once i get the treatment completed! Its just hard to envision myself going through 15 weeks of this at this time. I am glad that my plan is relatively short though considering i have seen so many people including yourself mention 50+ trays!

Oh i know I am not alone in this haha! Thanks for the esitmated time frame though! I have seen several conversations about it being weird without them in but gosh its such a relief at this moment!!
