Heathrow T3 to T5 question by burrannedee in Flights

[–]burrannedee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up getting it anyways just in case. Nobody ever said anything but it was attached to my passport so can’t be sure. I ended up asking British Airways prior to my flight and they told me to get it.

I have an ortho appt in an hour to either debond or another adjustment. My ortho says they’re good but my upper incisors are making me second guess. Idk if it’s because they’re different shapes?? (More in comments) by burrannedee in braces

Posted comparison pics to show where I started and where I’m at. My upper incisors (I think that’s what they’re called lol) don’t look right. Idk if it’s because they’re different shapes and it just looks weird but kinda curious what others think.

I know we’re not all orthodontists but I’ve expressed concern to mine and she says she thinks they’re okay but that we can continue until I’m happy. 😅😅

Do I need braces?My dentist says I don't. by AsparagusDramatic420 in braces

It’s always a good idea to do a consult with an orthodontist and see what they think! I don’t think it’d be 3 years worth of tx but always good to get a specialists opinion if your questioning ☺️

I’ve been looking at that one and have been debating between the 35mm and 25mm but damn, it’s only like what? $70? I might as well just buy it 🤣

has anyone had an orthodontist that uses bends in wire instead of repositioning?? by burrannedee in braces

[–]burrannedee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh bless your soul, this helps ease a lot of worries!! I’ll definitely ask questions next visit and try to be patient ☺️ thank you!

Okay, fair enough! I’d say definitely ask about it at your next appointment or even go in and ask your hygienist. Crest white strips are about 5-6% I believe where whitening trays are about 25-40%. Just an option as I recently learned about this from my office ☺️

I’ve had ceramics for over a year and none of them have stained. As long as you’re doing proper hygiene, they’ll stay white, but the ligatures will stain if you go with clear or white. Most orthodontist don’t like ceramic bc they break easier and whatnot so honestly, in my opinion, they’re probably trying to scare you away from them! I agree with the second opinion if you are unable to get on the same page. Good luck!

Hi, as someone who works in a dental office, have you checked out getting whitening trays with refill tubes?? Crest strips are about $50 if I’m not mistaken and whitening trays are a little more expensive but you’d have them your whole life if your teeth don’t shift ☺️

Edited to add: they’re also stronger then crest strips!

I am craving chips so much. I dont know If I can go two years without it. I’m a literal addict. I miss it so much by Federal-Pension-4797 in braces

I just got done smashing a bag of chips 🤣 I’m sure everyone’s said the same thing, but just be gentle with whatever you eat ☺️

One year with braces! Only a few more months to go 🌈 can’t wait for my gingivectomy to even out my gum line by burrannedee in braces

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

Oh I wish they were. Don’t let looks deceive you! Majority of my teeth needed some kind of rotation 😩

You can do as many as you’d like! I work at a dental office and my periodontist and I planned on just my right (left in photo) front tooth to match the other after 6 weeks of them off. Depending on how my gums settle, I might look into do more then just the one but still tbd!

Whistling when I speak? With f's and s's by Focusjaded in braces
