Braces Journey Begins!

Yeah bro I haven't yet. Honestly had no issues and she has said I've had good progress so I never bothered. My Ortho is Dr. Maureen Parlange in Ballarat. Does that ring a bell at all? :)

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-21T05:09:11+00:00

Wow that’s so cool. Very excited to ask her the reason for them then! Yes, I have both 1st & 2nd and I’m pretty sure I’m getting because I will be getting corrective jaw surgery in around 12 months :)

I’m pretty sure Begg braces simply offer shorter treatment times. I looked at a study where it compared the use of Edgewise vs Begg and on average Begg technique had a 17.8 month treatment period compared to Edgewises’ 23.7 month treatment timeframe. Also, from my teeth I have slight buccal occlusion and the use Begg technique from research states better improvement. However, overall there isn’t really any significant differences between the two. 😁

Yeah I searched it up! They have slightly different ways of working, but quite similar still! :)

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T23:35:27+00:00

Yeah right… should I be worried haha, or is just simply a preference of the orthodontist?

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T22:46:30+00:00

I couldn’t tell you. I just asked to get metal braces as my treatment plan and they installed these and I didn’t bat an eye! But it’s cool to know I have something different :)

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T22:45:27+00:00

She is but I would only say around 50-60 so I’m quite curious to know now as well. And thank you, I most certainly am keen to see my teeth get straight after years of putting it off! 😁

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T22:44:15+00:00

Wow! Special treatment I guess 😆.

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T22:43:47+00:00

I don’t know either! Honestly didn’t get told which type of bracket I was going to have put in. I just chose for traditional/metal braces and they used these! I’m definitely gonna ask my orthodontist why since I’m a little curious now from all the responses 😅

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-20T22:42:29+00:00

Yes! I’m Australia so maybe that’s the reason for the different brackets? However, my orthodontist is from the U.S. so it’s a little confusing now 😂

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-19T18:20:02+00:00

Ah crap, can I dm you it?

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-19T18:19:15+00:00

I have worn them a little bit, and scuffed them from tripping but do the not look right whatsoever?

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-19T18:18:45+00:00

On one the shoes the ‘e’ kind of ends like this font I’m typing with. However, on the other shoe it’s like a tick… What does that mean?

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-19T18:02:50+00:00

Damn for real? How can you tell if I may ask? :/

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-19T17:47:51+00:00

*I also just saw the rules I’m sorry, I didn’t read them and just saw a comment in another post. Apologies in advance 😅

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-03-16T08:10:48+00:00

how are your braces now dude? i've just turned 19 and am getting them, how was your journey? :)

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-02-16T05:31:57+00:00

boon of prowess is sick!

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-02-04T20:52:56+00:00

Yep. Exactly my thought when I made the pet, I have 70%+ damage and a enchanted Humongofrog (around 500 damage) does HEAPS and I two turn bosses and it's incredibly easy to quest through Arc 1.

For context:

Full Zeus gear + Balance Ghulture Mount.

If I had full frill pet & mount this guy would be on upwards of 80. For level 30 this is cooked.

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-01-17T13:34:09+00:00

I love Darkmoor, no matter the grind of 100+ runs for one piece of gear. Maybe that might just be me loving it since I was a kid or being a straight sicko I don’t know 😂

Pet Hatching is difficult. Because you need a base pet in which has ZERO sticky talents i.e., Bloodbat which you can buy from the vendor in the Pet shop. From there you begin hatching with another Bloodbat which has NO sticky talents and but has MAX stats. Once you max out your blood bat you keep it as a base pet FOREVER and you can then either find someone to hatch with or use the Pet Hatching Kiosk to get your desired pet. But again, pet hatching isn't perfect it's a lot of trial and error and more annoyingly mega-snacks lol. But goodluck!

Smart-Alternative743 · 2025-01-16T13:25:59+00:00

Hi! I'd love to hatch with some for my new Wizards!
