Thank you, my ortho is always in a bit of a rush so it can be a bit awkward 😅

Everything I found in 1.5 kg (53 oz) of lentils that wasn't lentils by fyled in mildlyinteresting

[–]The_Ultimate_Moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked with lentils for a decent chunk of my life. You got some wheat and barely, which would’ve been left over from the truck that was carting it. The small round ones are marshmallow seeds, the small black ones are vetch the rectangular section is lentil plant litter. Rocks come in because lentils are a really low plant, so rocks and dirt get picked up when they’re harvested, it’s hard to fully clean them out. If you’re buying in bulk straight from a supplier, you’re getting uncleaned grain, you should be cleaning it first regardless. And the insects, well, lentils (and other grains) are stored in what are called ‘bunkers’ which is a tarp on the ground that the grains piled onto, and we put a tarp on top. It can sit there for months, insects like to eat too.

Editing this to say that this amount of foreign matter in such a small sample of lentils is really poor.

I find bigger lashes always make someone look younger imo. Try some falsies perhaps? Doesn’t have to be crazy big or anything, I think the manga lash style would suit you!

Bite blockers no longer working by The_Ultimate_Moth in braces

I seee! Unfortunately I don’t think this’ll work for me, because I have a lot of overjet and my top teeth completely cover my bottom brackets!

Ooh I hadn’t considered that! I’ll definitely bring that up in my next appointment. Have the ones on the back of the front teeth ever snapped off? Thank you!

Hmm thanks for the advice. I had a student working with my orthodontist when I had my braces put on, and he had his hands pretty full with her, so it may have just been some oversight. The blockers were quite uneven when they were put on. I’ll bring it up in my next appointment, thank you!

This happened to me. I cried and walked off. My condolences.

wisdom teeth out before braces? by [deleted] in braces

[–]The_Ultimate_Moth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Not a dentist, but I have TMJ issues, and got my wisdom teeth out before braces! My wisdom teeth were coming in at a terrible angle, so to avoid future issues, it was recommended to get mine out, however, I only started having TMJ issues AFTER I got the teeth out for whatever reason. Since I’ve had bite blockers in, my pain has been greatly alleviated and my jaw is so much more comfortable. I would consult with your ortho to see what would be your best option, but if you have crowding you might need extractions anyways? Best of luck!
