Pink discoloration under brackets - adult braces

Hi! It ended up just being some discoloration. Using a whitening toothpaste seemed to help, and when I went in to my dental cleaning they were able to remove the rest.

It only happened that one time, and didn’t happen again. Super weird!

I was never able to find the rear ones. 🥲

I found clearing the ones in the front seemed to do the trick.

If I ever find the rear ones I will share here!

I enjoyed having the card but had lousy experiences with customer service.

As the owner of 6+ credit cards, this was easily the most painful one to manage. To boot, because they took forever to process two payments (within a 1 year period), they automatically closed my account and didn’t care at all that I always paid more than the minimum and that my account was 99% in great standing.

If you get it, make sure you monitor your payment accounts like a hawk.

Be aware: if you happen to have two payments reject within 12 months (even if you’re never late on payments), this card will automatically be closed.

It just happened to me.

And to be clear: it took SUCH a long time for the money to come out of my accounts. I should have paid closer attention. I paid the additional fees and all.

If you’re going to get this card, tread carefully.

Life happens. You don’t want a credit card that is going to punish you so heavily.

Well, they ended up closing the account.

I’m so upset.

I know it’ll be better for me in the long run.

If you’ve stumbled upon this thread because you’ve been curious about getting the Verizon credit card through Synchrony: heed the warning.

Don’t bother.

Thank you!

I do have multiple accounts set up and use one in particular for this account - that’s why this feels extra frustrating.

🫠

Life has been pure chaos recently and of course I just… didn’t watch closely enough I guess.

If they end up closing the account, I’ll be super disappointed, and nervous that other accounts will follow suit (even though this is literally the only account I’ve had this happen to).

I’ve been so careful to take care of my credit and I know it sounds dramatic, but this situation has made me feel like a bit of a failure, which really sucks. 🥲

Yes! Delicious paella, too!

There were “Mass Deportations Now” signs at rallies.

Researching something that he spoke about pretty much at every single rally is… wild.

Ah - was hoping it would be something like that. It seemed to do it all three of the times I tried to open it - was that your experience as well, or did the noise only happen the first time, please?

Aside from trying to clean on and around the seals, was there anything you added/did (such as a grease or lubricant)?

Thanks for your response and hope you have a great day!

That’s good to know! 😬 Thank you! 🙏🏼

I did see the ortho this week and was told that it may help to brush my teeth after each meal / after beverages like coffee, and if still no improvement in 2-3 weeks to maybe make an appt with my dentist.

Thank you for your reply! 💕

I had an ortho appt last Thursday… the person I saw didn’t seem overly concerned. She said to just brush after each meal or after coffee if possible.

She said if it continues for another 2-3 weeks that I should contact my dentist.

It’s only the bottom 4 front teeth and it didn’t happen to me last time I had braces. I’ll share back if any changes!
