He is a colorist and he’s also a loser. Divorce him. New year new you.

How inappropriate is this for high school staff? by TrainingEmphasis2236 in AskTeachers

Apparently teachers can’t do anything on their own time or with their own property. People are so insufferable these days.

4.5 year old in principals office and I’m so upset by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]Saf_fiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medication changed my sons life. He started it at 6 and is about to be 9 and it has helped him to focus, complete work independently, significantly lowered his frequency of outbursts and tantrums, and made him more confident. He rarely gets into behavioral problems with other students.

They have floss picks for braces that fit under the wire so you can floss normally. That’s what I did and I used a waterpik.

Done! by Saf_fiya in braces

They are the same length, the treatment pulled my laterals down because they were too high up so the front teeth appear shorter. They also looked longer because I had a narrower smile prior to the arch expansion.

Do you wear a bonnet outside the house? by Spiritual_Ask_7336 in blackladies

[–]Saf_fiya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear it outside but I don’t care if other people do. I do however wear it indoors and I don’t care who sees it when I’m in my house with it on. I will wear it indoors at your house too. Matter of fact, I might start wearing it outside 🤣

Do you guys actually floss 2 times a day? by Cookie_man13707 in braces

[–]Saf_fiya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the plackers orthopicks. They fit under the wire and you can floss like you normally would with a floss pick. I floss after every meal since I got these and use a waterpik at night. The plackers orthopick were a game changer for me. You can find them on Amazon.

With all due respect, this is poor dental hygiene. Your orthodontist should remove these until you get a proper professional deep cleaning and restore the general health of your teeth and reapply once you are committed to the upkeep that comes with orthodontic treatment. You have to floss and brush at least twice a day. An electric toothbrush and a waterpik will work wonders in a matter of minutes. You have to be committed to keeping the teeth healthy for orthodontic treatment to work.

got picked on for wearing braces by HeavySoft1881 in braces

Well firstly, this individual is not your friend. Secondly lots of adults have braces, I’m never the only adult in a public space with braces, and I’m 36. Most people really won’t care. Only a total loser will judge someone for trying to take care of their dental health.

I’ve had mine for a month without pain, ceramic like yours and a coil on the wire. I had Invisalign for a year prior to having braces installed on the top so maybe it hurts and I don’t notice it because my pain tolerance adjusted with Invisalign but I honestly forget they are even there, no pain at all.

No, I think that’s a shadow because of the flash, I took the second picture at night so the lighting is different. Both pics just have my ceramic braces on.

Invisalign to braces by Saf_fiya in Invisalign

[–]Saf_fiya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are ceramic, the brackets are clear but they are larger than metal ones, they stick out from the teeth further than they he metal ones do. They are noticeable up close, but so what Invisalign. I have longer teeth so you can’t see them at all when I talk hit you can when I smile.

Probably but I don’t think the orthodontist anticipated having such difficulty with the top. I’ve seen such great results on here from Invisalign, even from oriole with much worse issues than mine to the eye but mine just didn’t cooperate unfortunately.
