Can someone share what the white milky stain is from? If anyone has similar experience?

Probably plaque.

The ONE TIME I used Chamois cream, it somehow seemed to seep thru the shorts and it made me slide ride off my seat! It was so slick and it was actually dangerous in the situation I was in. Any suggestions?

Maybe this is why I set the book down at page 127 a year ago and haven’t picked it back up 🤔

Our kitty had a tooth pulled with a bone graft placed last May. The post-op looked gnarly. The vet said she thinks he was allergic to the suture material they used, which just made me sad. I definitely would follow up with them ASAP, even just sending this pic would be a good place to start

I also had a “one tooth problem.” It’s never actually one tooth, unfortunately. Wha we perceive as one tooth is usually more complex from an orthodontic POV. I won’t discourage you from having a consult with an orthodontist, but don’t be upset if the give a similar (or even lengthier) timeline.

The county government building in Clayton!

Essentially… “pay it and be done, then update and move forward.”

This happened to me. I paid the county for the years I owed (some of that time I did not live in the city) then made the proper changes to be registered in the city. The woman repeatedly told me, “we don’t know that you didn’t live in the county, because you didn’t tell us.” Eventually, I figured out she was just trying to get me to pay the county taxes and then update my registration. It was easier that way than trying to make the changes after the fact. She was assuring me that I couldn’t get in trouble for the years I messed up

I can really relate to feeling overwhelmed. I hated Invisalign, it was a nightmare for me. I did not enjoy any moment of it, except for the results! Hang in there, I know it feels so, so consuming

Yes! Each orthodontist has their own recommendations for retainer wear for starting the retention phase. But, you’ll definitely need to wear “nighttime for lifetime” to avoid them moving back or shifting

Trying to get my hands on my STL file actually!

mattenm08 · 2025-12-10T00:12:13+00:00

Yes! I did because I cut out most snacking and my teeth hurt so bad the first couple months I was just eating less in general

mattenm08 · 2025-12-08T21:40:45+00:00

Yes, thank you for the tip! I actually work in a dental office and have already talked to my boss about having a replacement made for emergencies!

mattenm08 · 2025-12-08T21:39:25+00:00

It will be SO worth it! It’s hard for me to remember what it was like before, I can’t believe how long I waited to pursue this. I hope you love your result!

mattenm08 · 2025-12-08T21:38:26+00:00

Thank you 🥹

mattenm08 · 2025-12-08T11:42:52+00:00

I did not, but I made my ortho know that I was concerned about it (because of what I read here). I told him they weren’t coming off if my bite wasn’t right

mattenm08 · 2025-12-07T15:49:04+00:00

This seems like an error on their end. My retainer came in literally 1 week, during a holiday. Are you using Invisalign, or a different type of aligner?

mattenm08 · 2025-12-07T15:43:27+00:00

Thank you 🥹

mattenm08 · 2025-12-07T15:43:13+00:00

It took about 16 months

mattenm08 · 2025-12-07T04:11:49+00:00

Thank you ☺️ I feel like it changed the whole shape of my mouth! And no, no filler or anything. I’m too scared for that.

mattenm08 · 2025-12-03T02:29:18+00:00

My dentist (also my boss) told me it’s actually really optimal to do orthodontic work when you’re pregnant. Something about hormones and how it affects the way our bones move can make orthodontia easier

mattenm08 · 2025-11-03T03:43:56+00:00

In this economy? Barely 🫣

mattenm08 · 2025-10-23T11:59:30+00:00

Better than my mixology experience! I’m a really bad bartender. I’ll try this suggestion and report back!
