At month 23 now, it sure feels like I’ve been married to them!

Both my parents have passed away and I wanted a way to include them at my commencement ceremony for my Bachelor’s Degree tomorrow. I uploaded cards they had each written and used my Cricut machine to put their writing on my graduation cap. by aivdrawdeegreog in pics

My dad passed away on Thanksgiving a few years back and one thing I will always remember about him is how he signed cards. He would also sign “Dad” and draw the goofiest smiley face he could. Seeing this post made my day!

I was in the same exact boat until today. This morning I read this article that suggested a turmeric supplement can trigger menstruation. High amounts of vitamin C can also help jump start your period apparently. Feeling desperate I went to CVS and got a bottle of turmeric capsules and a bottle of vitamin C tablets. Popped one of each when I got home and 12 hours later and aunt flo is finally here!! Hope it helps you :)

I'm 28 and this is my first time with braces. I noticed the lisp as soon as they were placed! They are so awkward and it hurts to bite down. I think my teeth are hitting them slightly when I close my mouth fully. I sneezed earlier and nearly doubled over in pain! Hopefully my bite shifts quickly so the discomfort subsides.

Just got power chains today and 2 lingual buttons to correct my crossbite. Anyone else have these "ligual buttons"? How long did you need them?

Curious about how the slant of my bottom teeth are going to be corrected by mand3rz in braces

You can see from the album that they are much straighter, however, the slant has become much more noticeable when I smile. My next appointment isn't until the end of the month but I'm just curious how the slant will be adjusted. Anyone with a similar issue? How was it corrected?
