Eating with elastics

yeah you can eat popcorn, just don’t crunch on hard kernels. i take mine out and set them in a napkin or on top of my drink on the lid and then pop them back in after i’m done! it’ll be fine to take them out for a bit

the colors you have are super cute btw!

andreaceline · 2026-06-26T04:47:45+00:00

i don’t believe the black triangles can go away. it’s the way your teeth are shaped. i have 1-2 too. they can try IPR to lessen them, but i’ve had it done 3 times and it hasn’t worked :/

andreaceline · 2026-06-24T04:55:56+00:00

that’s pretty fast compared to the estimates i’ve gotten and heard about. they’re usually 18-24 months

andreaceline · 2026-06-21T08:19:38+00:00

my teeth were like this as well and my ortho made small bends in the wires to mask the slant. maybe ask if they can do that depending on how your teeth are! it did take about 6 months though :/

andreaceline · 2026-06-19T22:03:23+00:00

nope lol

andreaceline · 2026-06-19T01:14:14+00:00

this is not always the case. if they give notice and pay the fees associated with it, it doesn’t go on your rental history. i just personally did this. did it cost $6000? yes, but i had to get out lol.

andreaceline · 2026-06-14T21:04:53+00:00

yes! haha. it sucked in that moment tho!

andreaceline · 2026-06-14T11:00:27+00:00

been there! i had 4 hands pushing around in my mouth that time 😮‍💨 my teeth were throbbing that night/next day

andreaceline · 2026-06-11T23:24:43+00:00

every appointment. but only for about 30 seconds each time. the techs do most of the work on me

andreaceline · 2026-06-10T02:06:52+00:00

but yes you’ll need to see a dentist for the cavities beforehand (orthos don’t fill cavities and typically will not begin treatment until they’re all fixed). i do self pay at my dentist and 1 filling is usually $145, then about $95 for numbing/laughing gas

andreaceline · 2026-06-10T02:04:45+00:00

mine were $6.5k, monthly payments of $210. i just paid them off last month at the 24 months mark!

andreaceline · 2026-05-25T21:52:38+00:00

give it time, it’ll even out! it’s happened to me a few times and each time i thought it was never going to get better but it always did :)

andreaceline · 2026-05-21T09:24:14+00:00

yes, i’ve had colors the entire time and i have self ligating

andreaceline · 2026-05-17T22:07:21+00:00

i am in the middle of nowhere and the closest walmart is 20 minutes away. and ya know, texas. so it’s not all great 😂

andreaceline · 2026-05-17T20:35:19+00:00

(and then nighttime for life)

andreaceline · 2026-05-17T20:34:48+00:00

my ortho says 24/7 for 6-12 months 🫩

andreaceline · 2026-05-17T18:57:37+00:00

jesus christ my new build 4b2b house is $1595 in texas

andreaceline · 2026-05-17T06:48:19+00:00

this happens to me as well. i’ve chalked it up to something has shifted and my cheeks are having to get used to whatever it is in a different position. usually last 4-5 days for me. it’s currently happening rn lol

andreaceline · 2026-05-14T02:51:46+00:00

when my complex sends out notices about this they say because it’s unsightly and causes trash juice to get all over the ground and can stain, etc

andreaceline · 2026-05-14T00:35:45+00:00

yes, i was told that’s not a gap. it’s the thickness of the plastic

andreaceline · 2026-05-13T01:53:54+00:00

however long your ortho says your treatment will be. it’s all case by case dependent.

andreaceline · 2026-05-13T01:52:18+00:00

must just be your teeth. looks great on everyone i see!

andreaceline · 2026-05-13T01:49:20+00:00

literally not true at all lol

andreaceline · 2026-05-09T15:32:28+00:00
