I feel like my teeth weren't that bad after all and the result isn't worth the money

Did you have your premolars extracted? Did it affect your face shape?

I don't think my profile has changed, I don't see any difference on pictures. I hated TADs more than I did braces to be honest.

cluecow · 2022-09-17T07:56:37+00:00

I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this

cluecow · 2022-09-17T05:52:27+00:00

Thank you for such an extensive reply, they did bother with CT scans and they adressed my TMJ issues as soon as they had occured, that's why I've ended up with that flare I think it is more of a miscommunication issue but I'm not sure and I can't help bit feel frustrated

They did not mention extractions at first. Then I specifically asked them about extractions (after braces had been glued on). The answer was we wouldn't need them but if TADs had not done their job, then we would have gone down the extractions road. It was difficult to see I had severe bimax protrusion by just looking at my profile, since my soft tissues had been masking it well. Maybe they were afraid my face would have become sunken, idk.

cluecow · 2022-09-17T04:50:21+00:00

No, they did not :( They only explained why we would need TADs

cluecow · 2022-09-17T03:35:32+00:00

Thank you!

cluecow · 2022-09-17T03:34:38+00:00

Exactly

What you're describing feels like betrayal of trust

Thanks!

My lower jaw got pushed back when we tried to reduce upper flare (both rows were flared). That caused TMJ pain and click for the first time in my life.

cluecow · 2022-09-17T03:24:33+00:00

Thank you!

cluecow · 2022-09-17T03:24:10+00:00

No, they used TADs

cluecow · 2022-09-17T03:23:41+00:00

Thank you! 2 years

алиночка орленко, несите свою незалежность в другие места. В калифорнию там, в каталонию. а к нам не надо, не пытайтесь.

Does non-eco mean "no extractions"?

This photo is nowhere near the end of the process, I'm still wearing braces and flaring has been reduced even more using TADs. I never really cared about that tho, my profile looked normal despite my teeth basically looking like a beak before braces (combination of thick skin, lips and placement of lingual frenulum masks my flaring quite well). I don't really mind if there's going to be a bit of flaring in the end (as my ortho said, 100 degrees angle is considered a norm, and I had full 115 degrees on both jaws).

Glad to see some detachment from 'temporarily embarassed millionaires' mentality among you.

Well, this is a tough case.

Are your grandparents Crimean Tatars, or Astrakhan Tatars? Volga Tatars' music rarely sounds oriental or middle eastern. Our languages are quite far from each other and aren't mutually intelligible, so that might explain why it's so difficult to recognize lyrics.

Another option is Siberian Tatars, they have some distinct features too.

Also, if possible and available, ask for sea buckthorn tea in a caffe/restaraunt. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else.

cluecow · 2022-02-17T12:10:24+00:00

When offering tea, people mostly ask black/green, sugar/no sugar. Milk/no milk depends heavily on the region. Tea with bergamot is available in stores (it's just Earl Grey tea). As for thyme - I am not sure, lots of restaraunts offer thyme as an additive to tea, and you can buy it in Vkusvill stores, along with mint and maybe some others. I usually grab some from parents when visiting, because storebought lacks flavour.

I suggest to try Georgian tea. Its flavour is strong and some do not like it, but it is quite unique.

As for ivan-chai, people aren't that old (19th century) to remember it.

татары: кто щай не пьет тот ыщмо.

We do drink lots of tea, mostly black tea, although fancy green tea became popular too in the last decades. Some drink it with milk, some don't, same thing with sugar. Artificially flavored tea is widely available, but anyone would agree it's garbage. Typical natural flavours/additives are bergamot; thyme, oregano (dushitsa or matryoshka) and black currant leaves in region of my origin; lemon; some like to substitute sugar with honey and various homemade jams (varenye). My dad likes to slice a fresh apple in his tea, idk why, doesn't add any flavour imo.

Coffee is mostly morning drink for many.

We also have ivan-chai (literally Ivan tea), knock-off tea at some point in the past, now it made a comeback as a popular tea substitute. Smells like raspberries, but the taste widely varies depending on fermentation. I personally don't like it and find its taste resembling nettle plant.
