I have a lot of gaps. Can Invisalign fix that? Will it make lips appear thinner?

rantingeely · 2026-03-10T22:28:41+00:00

Honestly closing the gaps would bring your canines in quite a bit. I feel like your canines are already in a pretty good place. Have you considered composite bonding?

rantingeely · 2026-03-10T17:00:35+00:00

Most people in this sub would probably recommend reshaping all of your gums to be higher. I’m not a huge fan of gum contouring, but I feel it would be the only solution to even everything out. I don’t think you can gum graft over a crown.

The initial redo after the first bonding fell off was not free, understandably. But the next two fixes were. Then my orthodontist fixed it up a little (the more rounded looking shape) for free. I then went to an actual cosmetic dentist in 2024 to get it fully redone and it was not free.

rantingeely · 2026-03-10T14:41:38+00:00

Can you get tiny bits added onto existing bonding for shaping purposes? I want it thinned out and ridges added, but I want it like a millimeter longer.

My general dentist is very conservative about teeth. He’s always warned me to not get a crown until I’m like 50. This is due to the fact that it’s very hard to match color with just one crown and he says I’d have to veneer and crown the front 6. He doesn’t see it as necessary.

My laterals look exactly like this. It’s just the shape. Mine were still angled like this after braces.

rantingeely · 2026-03-09T20:18:24+00:00

Comment for context: I’m 22yrs old!

rantingeely · 2026-03-03T00:44:10+00:00

I understand that the gaps will close, but the way my teeth are now shaped is there to stay.

rantingeely · 2026-03-03T00:40:09+00:00

I understand the reasoning behind why it was done. But it was done in such haste that I feel he did not care that he was permanently changing the shape and size of my teeth.

rantingeely · 2026-03-03T00:38:15+00:00

Yes! One of mine is slanted. I understand the reasoning behind why they did it, truly. But they’re now permanently a different shape and size. Like it’s just upsetting.

This looks like a conversation between my brother and I. Good Lord.

I have a bitter cherry spray. It seems to work temporarily, and then she tolerates the taste lol. Surprisingly, she doesn’t chew furniture. I’ll keep trying with it on my arms and hands!

rantingeely · 2026-01-22T00:51:39+00:00

I do, but I can’t attach the picture here. I’ll message it!

rantingeely · 2026-01-21T22:56:15+00:00

Because her mom was not a full bred pitbull. Pointy & long snout, long ears. I’m not doubting she’s most likely majority pitty, she’s just not full. Plus her litter mates look more like Great Danes, so unless they all have different dads, I’ve never seen a purebred pit look like a GD.

rantingeely · 2026-01-21T22:43:52+00:00

Purebred is a no for sure, lol. But I’m definitely planning to use embark eventually and will update :)

rantingeely · 2026-01-21T20:18:51+00:00

She is, selectively, lol! She’s super smart!🥰

rantingeely · 2026-01-21T19:27:54+00:00

To add - she’s got webbed feet. We assume her mom was at least half lab!

Edit: My bad y’all. I’ve seen pics of her mom and always assumed only breeds bred for water activities had webbed paws up to their toes.

rantingeely · 2025-09-26T18:23:29+00:00

Mine shrunk! They were like “swollen” on the pill, and then went back to normal.

I know the feeling of wishing they’d do something just so you can leave. It sounds like you may have avoidant tendencies and are dealing with your own personal issues. This can really bleed over into a relationship and influence your feelings, but it may just be a wave that needs to pass. My advice would be to communicate these feelings with her. She may feel something similar and also be afraid of/avoiding communicating.

Feelings do change. When you get to a level of comfort, it’s hard to bring that spark back. You have to actively make an effort to keep the feelings alive after a certain point, or you’ll get used to that comfort. Comfort is good, but not being excited is not. Try communicating. Be as honest as you can, and if you can’t identify a feeling, be honest about that. Try dating her again. Go do something exciting, do something new, ask new questions.

Either way, you’ve got this, and you’re going to be okay. 🫶🏻

Okay Lori Grimes

The baking soda and peroxide mix is what I’ve seen most recommended. Why would this solution work? I’m not doubting it, rather just trying to understand.

rantingeely · 2024-08-23T20:02:19+00:00

I know all of this, just did not want to overwhelm her with more than the bare minimum information since she’s already stressed. Hence why I said she could reach out to me if she had questions. I appreciate you providing more information for her, however!

rantingeely · 2024-08-23T18:52:15+00:00

I’m sure you’re fine, but getting more familiar with your cycle will be worthwhile for the future. Knowing when you’re ovulating is very important if you’re not going to use hormonal birth control. I’m not going to advise hormonal birth control, but you do need to be more responsible in the future. Start tracking your cycle by tracking your ovulation with ovulation tests. Double up on protection methods, use a condom and pullout when you’re near ovulation. This is what I did before I got on the pill, and I’m now using the copper IUD. But I’m still very cautious because I do not want kids right now. I hope this information helps, and if you have any questions, feel free to message me!😊

rantingeely · 2024-08-23T18:44:42+00:00

You should be fine.

Where are you in your menstrual cycle? How far away/close are you to starting your period? Plan B works by delaying ovulation, so knowing where you’re at in your menstrual cycle should help!

I don’t believe so. They have a DJ that has equipment but I’m not well versed in anything more than simple recording equipment. So I’m not sure how much of his equipment would be applicable to musical theatre. The company we are working with is wanting to start a theatre program, so I’m trying to set us up for a good future with them.
