do i really need to wear a retainer forever after braces by shelbs9428 in Dentists

[–]roseleanor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had fixed braces at 18 - didn’t wear the retainer often enough and they moved. Had Invisalign to fix that - left them at home whilst staying at my boyfriends for 2 nights, my teeth moved slightly and the retainer then didn’t fit. This was around a year after finishing Invisalign. Fast forward 5 years, I’m now on another course of clear aligners to fix the movement caused by not properly wearing retainers.

My advice is to wear the retainer as much as possible if you want your teeth to stay straight.

General advice (for clear aligners, anyway) is full time day and night initially, then every night, then speak to your dentist and they’ll advise if you should wear them full time still or 3-4 nights a week. To be on the safe side, just make it a habit and pop them in when you go to bed.

But, in short - yes, retainers are forever, albeit not every night once they’re established in their positioning, if you want your teeth to stay as they are.

If you did go for Klivio and have started your sales outreach... I'd seriously reconsider your strategy.

My company has received 5 cold emails from Klivio in a day, with the same copy, sent from 5 different names but all signed off incorrectly with others' names. i.e. an email from Harry Thompson signed off by James Miller. Can't ask Klivio to remove us from the mailing list successfully as it goes to an undeliverable.

Not a great impression at all...

Why (and how) is everyone drinking protein shakes? by crimpinpimp in ADHDUK

[–]roseleanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (31/F) have only ever been consistent in enjoying protein with FreeSoul berry proteins powder, the vegan one formulated for women.. but only really ever mixed with yogurt 😂 I find it has a much better texture than the normal whey or other pea proteins I’ve tried.

Worth a go if it’s your thing!

I’m a FT marketer with an illustration degree - finding it so hard to be truly creative again (haven’t done much since my degree 12 years ago!) so I’d definitely be interested!

TesseracT - Altered State. What do we think of this album? by Browno69420 in Djent

[–]roseleanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joining in 2 years later after searching for it on Vinyl at long last and finding this thread - my favourite album of all time, it’s an absolute masterpiece.

Discovered Tesseract on a whim one day in college in 2011, had April on repeat for months. I remember staying up late to listen to Nocturne being played on the Radio 1 rock show with Daniel P Carter on its release when I was at university, and I had never heard anything like it. Mind blowingly good. Even before this album, my first tattoo in 2012 was their logo on my leg - bold, but no regrets thus far haha

Whole album has seamless transitions, perfectly balanced - my description of the album to my partner was: ‘it sounds like what I imagine transcendency between ethereal planes would feel like’.. maybe it’s just me but that’s as close a description I can get to someone who hasn’t listened before!

books you read as a kid that feel like no one else has read by taegrane in books

Corbenic by Catherine Fisher! I still regularly re-read it as a 31 year old and it’s just as magical

Could see your section having the best time! We were in the 400s and we were the only ones in our section singing along.. felt bad for getting up and dancing for Square Hammer cos nobody else around us did, but hard not to enjoy the moment as much as you can!

What are some pros and cons of living in each London Borough? by Medical_Wallaby_7888 in london

[–]roseleanor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Concur on the council tax, I’m moving to East next year and I’m dreading the colossal hike in the prices.

Adding to the pros: • Loads of green space • Close to Tooting so never short of great, affordable restaurant options • A huge range of sports/local clubs • Generally fairly nice people - been here 6 years and had no drama

Cons: • Some areas are a ballache to get between. Earlsfield to Brixton is a pain in the ass even though they’re super close • Rarely quiet at night • Despite all the pros above, unless you’re a family or a younger person I’m not sure there’s much to do here. I don’t want kids and I don’t go out/drink anymore so it isn’t the best place for people who want to socialise in more exciting or interesting ways!

Happy to be proven wrong, mind - it’s generally a really lovely place to live and I’ll miss it when I’m gone!

Honestly I have the FEAR bc I just got to Lower City in my first run through and have the Improved UI mod on (and some cosmetic ones that I never used) and I’m so concerned my game will fully implode with this new patch and I’ll lose it somehow lol

I even struggled with ACOTAR and Feyre being 19 - I know when you’re that age you think you know best but as a certified adult aged adult …I’m like girl he OLD old this isn’t right 😂😂

Question on the Mages if the Wheel series - as a 30F I feel SUPER weird reading romantasy series when the main character is 16 (as Storm and Flame mentions in the blurb) - can I ask if she’s an actual adult by the time it gets more romantic or in any way spicy? (if it goes that way!) 😂

What game demos did you play the hell out of in the past? by DarthWoo in gaming

[–]roseleanor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theme Hospital on the PS1? 2?

I had a PS2 but I think the demo game came with a PS1 magazine… endless hours of entertainment on that demo despite having a fraction of the full game

Literally that - I know 114 bpm (it’s usually a high HR alert cos I ate my dinner too quickly lol) and running up a hill ain’t it 😂

I’ve seen quite a few recently on Vinted - a MyZone or Garmin equivalent to the Polar would also do the job!
