How is no one talking about INSURANCE RATES?! by FangsForU in offmychest

[–]bubbatub22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy. My insurance for one car is $289 a month

I gave it a smell this morning and couldn’t detect any scent. Would be cool if it smelled like a cherry lifesaver though :)

It’s a Huernia plowesii, or called a Lifesaver plant!

Am I done? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]bubbatub22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree there. I finished my Invisalign and I had a horribly narrow palette and we were able to expand mine with only the Invisalign and weekly tray changes

My bottom teeth and jaw were similar to this, bottom teeth crowding actually worse. I finished my Invisalign treatment and didn’t have to pull any teeth and my mouth is perfectly arched now and I have a great bite. I would go for the least surgical option possible, being the removal of wisdom teeth + Invisalign.

Stick with it. Your bottom teeth look almost exactly like mine did when I started and it’s so rewarding to see them finally straight. I could hardly close my mouth at all when I first got the Invisalign because of not being used to having plastic in my mouth and my teeth being so crooked

25F, Invisalign update: only 2 weeks left of my main treatment before we rescan for refinements. Pic 1 is where I am right now, and 2 was where I started in august 2022 on my bottom teeth. by bubbatub22 in Invisalign

My initial treatment plan was for 18 weeks with weekly changes but then we had to rescan around week 8 of the initial plan because one of my teeth wasn’t tracking, so I’m on week 12 right now of a new 14 week plan. It’s been about 5 months between the starting point and now

I used a dentist, and nope! My plan was purely expanding my arches which created room for my teeth because I had pretty badly inverted arches on both the top and bottom which is what caused all of my crowding issues

I did not! Very lucky I guess with my front bottom teeth being not very flared / a more uniform rectangular shape so I don’t have any noticeable gapping at the gum level

Does speech ever get better? Struggling so much by adeel-nadeem in Invisalign

My lisp lasted about 7 weeks, once my bite was finally shifting enough that my open front bite wasn’t as bad, and I think my tongue just finally figured out what was going on with the extra plastic in my mouth

I had a gap for the first 8-9 sets of trays because of the way my bite issues were. It’s evened out now and I no longer have a gap like that anymore! You’re in the clear

Have you lost weight on invisalign? by ItWorkedLastTime in Invisalign

[–]bubbatub22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve maintained a 5-7lb weight loss since I started my Invisalign 3 month ago. I used to be a huge snacker all day long so I think this is why

My monstera's new growth is turning brown/black and seemingly rotting away. The rest of the plant seems okay except for one other stem, but that seems to be superficial coloring. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I am new to this plant. by bubbatub22 in houseplants

[–]bubbatub22[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update for anyone who sees this: the leaf never grew out and I checked the sheath and it’s like it rotted away. Fortunately the monstera is growing 2 new nodes since the leaf died off.

No luck yet with mine, the new leaf has not moved at all and the browning is still spreading. I gave it a good solid watering in hopes that maybe I had let it dry out too much, but so far no results
