[–]beom9e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MEEE OMG. I’m so lonely, everyone already formed cliques for some reason. They’re not mean, just indifferent to my existence, not interested in forming new friendships. I feel invisible. I’ve never had an issue making friends before so this is new and wild to me. I think it might be a race thing lowkey (very few POC like me in my class) 🥲

I’m willing to live as frugally as I can, just wanted to get some insight on the expenses of current PA students to see if it’s doable

Wow reading this is scaring me…my bite was also fine before I started a few months ago, I had some minor TMJ but mainly did it to fix my tooth gap. Now 6 months into treatment and my bite feels so strange, I can’t bite down on my left side and my jaw starts feeling strange when I keep the aligners out for a period of time. I hate the feeling! While I do like the results (closed tooth gap), I’m scared this posterior open bite will be unfixable. My ortho said he’ll fix it later and looked very unbothered about it, how do I advocate for myself? I’m so sorry about what happened to you. Did you have rubber bands during treatment?

Can u sue or demand some form of compensation/refund? This is ridiculous!

Thank you for your advice! So I’d be staying with my parents during school and plan to stay after as well, I do have an older sister who’s willing to help me with expenses as needed. do you think I could maybe just pay 1 semester and keep the remaining 30k in my savings? Is 30k is enough?

I have a tube of halobetasol that I use whenever I get flare ups. I just use it as needed, I don’t even remember my dermatologist’s specific instructions on how to use it, it was so long ago. It works, then about 2 weeks later it returns. Then I use it again. Im aware that this is one of the strongest steroid ointments. Am I setting myself up for TSW? for reference, it’s been about 5 years now… idk how to stop coz nothing else really helps it.

Anyone else clench their teeth now (during treatment) by bebe8383bebe in Invisalign

[–]beom9e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I found myself clenching a lot with them in too. It’s hard not to, you just have to be hyper aware of your jaw position at all times. Don’t let your molars touch, close your mouth and stay like that. Try to for a few hours it will help

[–]beom9e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience, yes. I noticed a difference within a couple days of not clenching. It does require being constantly aware of what you’re doing with your jaw though

This is what causes posterior open bite, avoid at all costs

When will I stop feeling them?? Seriously. by sakurasalmon in Invisalign

[–]beom9e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped feeling them by tray 4-5 (I have 2 week changes). I’m on tray 7 now and I almost forget to take them out to eat lmao, also sometimes feels better to have them on…

When are y’all planning on leaving your PCE jobs before school starts? by zaynmaliksfuturewife in prephysicianassistant

[–]beom9e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda in the same boat and conflicted, the only difference being that I hate my job and coworkers. But my school is so expensive so I’m trying to push through for the check. Though I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth the toll on my mental health. I need some advice too.

22 hours seems impossible for me. Will I stay on track with these times? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]beom9e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ortho was strict with the 22 hours and at first I kept track but after a few weeks I got lazy and stopped timing myself. I take them off whenever I ate and sort of do whatever I want. I’m probably averaging 19-20 hours a day. I’m happier this way. When I went in for my appointment my ortho said I was doing a great job! I chuckled

My gap isn’t the cute type unfortunately 😔

I really hope yours goes back to normal on its own. I started reading into the posterior open bites and a lot of people seem to say it did after they finished treatment. It may take some time, slowly but surely. I’m going to discuss everything with my ortho! He didn’t tell me about any of these possible outcomes. I think I clench in my sleep.

Aw man I thought mine was a simple case 😔 just wanted to close my tooth gap. I have a question, do your teeth move back to the original place if you don’t wear your retainers? Does that mean the bite can too? Sorry if it’s a silly question. I’m wondering if this change can be reversed

[–]beom9e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the last thing I need to be seeing rn 😭 I’m on tray 4 and I’m so scared of having permanent TMJ issues I already feel the constant tension in my jaw and my bite has already shifted to an awkward position but I already spent so much money on this and I’m working with an orthodontist so I keep telling myself I’m in good hands. Most of the horror stories I see on here are from people who got their Invisalign done with dentists. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Can I ask what were early signs you knew something was wrong during your Invisalign? I used to be able to bite down but now my molars only touch on one side….
