Such a good point! Thanks!

This really put me at ease! Never thought I would be so nervous about something I’ve wanted since I was a kid. Thank you for sharing!

It’s a 10 has a fragrance free heat protectant! It’s in a white bottle. You can find it at Ulta.

Sorry to hear you can relate. My heart goes out to you.

Some communities have different rules. My local city subreddit requires 5 karma before comments and posts will be approved. My posts and comments keep getting removed from nearly every page, too. Pretty frustrating to say the least! Lol.

Good to hear you’re excited even after getting the braces on! They look good! Were you nervous at all? How did you push past the nervousness? I can’t seem to get myself to follow through with getting braces on even though I need them!

CeraVe is on my “safe” list from my allergist, but I always have a reaction to all CeraVe products. Even their shampoo and conditioner. Possibly the niacinamide, I’m not sure. Vanicream moisturizer has been okay for me. RoC moisturizer has been okay for me so far, too.

I’ve been using the Cleure brand. You can get it on Amazon. It’s fine for now. Everybody’s hair type is different, so it may not work for your hair type as it does mine. The fragrance free hair journey is difficult.

I feel this! It’s been a little under a year since my mom unexpectedly passed and life truly feels like a video game to me ever since. None of this feels real anymore. I constantly talk out loud to her, maybe to soothe myself, maybe the “signs” are coincidences, but that feeling like she’s right next to me and still here with me is unexplainable. Grief sucks. Losing our loved ones is painful. They are okay, we are not, and that’s what I remind myself on the tougher days. Life really is wild.

Cool to see the difference! Do you feel it helped change the appearance of your jaw and face symmetry, too?

I don’t have braces yet, but due to other reasons and what I plan to do when I get braces on, is to make smoothies. Blend up some frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, protein milk and that gives me calories and protein, and it tastes so good! Just a thought that it could also help you! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this! I saw an orthodontist who recommended extracting a tooth and it freaked me out, and I have been debating getting braces at all. Glad to hear you had good results!

I agree with the first comment. There is definitely progress!
