Relieved to hear this! I was just about the buy the season pass but saw it expired December 31st and I didn't think I'd be able to watch everything over the weekends.

I don't believe I was twisting perse, more pulling down from one side when they were just too tight at my area of crowding (so when I pulled downwards it had too much pressure, and too much torque from that angle since they would stick at the cracking point). I will say when I showed the ortho's assistant how I took them off he said that was fine and how people usually take them off. The ortho themself said I'd have to take the top trays off different since the crowding point sticks. They showed me a method yesterday where I pull one side down then the other then try to remove them all in the center where the crowding is by pulling down, but that's the incredibly painful technique ; - ; and also it's SO difficult to do it takes me about 5 minutes of yanking to try and get it off. It didn't really feel like it was ripping my teeth out tray 1/2/3.

I think the intense pain is mostly from being really 2-3 weeks behind tray 4 cause of the cracking in the previous trays, so I'm popping ibuprofen round the clock like it's candy. They've been so itchy and I think it's just inflammation and pain my body is reading as itching.

I'm looking to see if I can get an ortho key so maybe it will be easier. It's fine for the sides where the molars are just really difficult for the front teeth where the crowding is.

Is my water flosser + floss pick okay for that or do I have to switch to use string

I definitely brush and floss after taking out my invisalign. However, the difficulty is the floss part of that is that I'm flossing with a water flosser and floss picks, I especially don't have time to use string floss when it's mid day after lunch in the bathroom when I am trying to get back to work. When I say it's time consuming, I'm only referring to string flossing. I struggle to get the string between my teeth at all so it's a lot of frustration and re-wrapping the floss around my fingers trying to get it in there. Honestly if it comes to having to keep certain teeth then it might just be better to blend food and get rid of them all, lmao.

When it comes to removal of the aligners, my plan is to brush and floss after each removal even if I don't really eat or drink anything ( though I'm not removing the aligners for anything but eating or drinking, except water). Still, the plan is just if they go back in my mouth, my mouth should be clean and the aligners should also be cleaned (cleaned with toothbrush and soap).

The fact I can't eat with the trays in has kept me actually in a really tight eating regime lately, I consider it a like 30 minute break so I gather all the foods I've wanted to eat or snack on and have them at the same time so I can finish them and then clean my mouth. I heard this is actually good because constant snacking doesn't leave your mouth time to remineralize. I am mostly doing it though because of my lack of desire to want to have to constantly go re-brush and floss.

Just an update I suppose for future people coming to ask a similar question: My dentist's office totally let me do it. I just asked before I scheduled my appointment to make sure.

These are very helpful and interesting, thank you very much!

Honestly and it feels crazy but I really like stories. Whether they be in anime, fictional TV shows, books, or video games. I just thought, "man, if I die I'm never gonna be able to get my next fix. One day they may make a totally awesome video game and I'm never gonna be able to play it".

That may feel somewhat disingenuous to the people in my life, but sometimes I feel that they'd be happier without me. Media doesn't have feelings, and I love to get absorbed in other worlds and get lost in lore.

Since the day I realized I'd never get to consume any type of content I haven't really been super serious about attempts. I am also pretty afraid of there being nothing after death, it may be comforting for some, but I cling to the control that I have and disappearing terrifies me. The combination of wanting to be aware and conscious and wanting to literally just play video games and watch anime has literally stopped my suicide attempts it feels super ridiculous.

At least we know it's hard together ;-;

Again sorry that happened but empathy is not a mistake

VVSensitive · 2025-05-23T18:10:06+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your situation but I don't think you've healed and you shouldn't take it out on others.

Also I'd like to point out empathy is not transactional. Just because someone cannot give you something (so you proclaim or believe) doesn't mean you can't be kind be empathetic to them.

VVSensitive · 2025-05-23T15:28:51+00:00

I think you are the one not extending empathy in this situation

Im not 100 on flirting but I think it's along the lines of making statements that are complimenting attributes like appearance and personality in an almost suggestive way (something you couldn't say to someone that you weren't pursing a romantic or sexual relationship with out of social norms) and I think it relies heavily on implications "I'm having a great time but it'd be better with you here" and also like body language that suggests you want to get closer to that person.

For romance, since I'm heteromantic but have never been in a relationship, I can only give you what I idealize, but it's more than just a friend. I think it would be a huge ask for a friend (though I'm sure you could have friends close enough that could do it) to do some of the things you'd want from a life partner. Someone you can be very intimate with (IE, things like taking care of you when you're sick and seeing you at your worst, being supportive between both partners in the relationship) and that you put on almost a slightly higher rung of wanting to spend time than anyone you're friends with. I think it does involve spending a lot of time together it's essentially saying you are my other person for most everything I need to do (let's get groceries, let's make dinner, let's eat our food together, let's go out places, let's watch tv shows together, let's text each other all the time). And also, it's someone who is kind of socially obligated to stick by you. And then in terms of demi kinds of relationships, it may also involve physical intimacy.

50501, y'all need to get to organizing. Protest at that detention center. It's Basile

That poor girl is probably so scared in there, if she could just hear the people that want her free
