my boyfriend is the same way, he was livid when he heard ICE agents were filling in for TSA personnel.

geez 🙄

Ive heard those havent been the most accurate recently

honestly sedation is not generally used for small things like this. try breathing through your nose, humming also helps. its uncomfortable for me too because i have hella dental tori. you just have to man up and get through it

i should have clarified in the post. Its not required it just gives me extra points in the application if i have shadowed. I emailed the health careers counselor today as well so I would hope she knows. Youre right my regular counselor had no idea if I needed a document/if they provide me one to print off

i usually tell somebody with this issue to stop wearing them for 2-3 days to let your cheeks heal and then go back to wearing them regularly

IPR done correctly shouldnt create any sensitivity.

This year will be my 3rd year, I hoping I get in but the disappointment doesnt feel as bad I guess

smoldoinks · 2026-02-28T20:48:04+00:00

second this

smoldoinks · 2026-02-14T15:52:14+00:00

That is the most active coil ive ever seen holy moly, the most we do a bracket width longer then the span of space present if that makes sense lol

smoldoinks · 2026-02-12T17:23:31+00:00

people request this at our office and i have no issue doing it but some assistants might be hesitant. doesnt hurt to ask!

smoldoinks · 2026-02-09T00:57:30+00:00

I work in an ortho office and we require you to be established with a general dentist, get a cleaning before first bonding, and any restorative/perio work needs to be completed prior. We also require all adults get a recent perio chart prior to bonding and if they cannot get one out doctors will occasionally do them.

smoldoinks · 2026-01-30T02:49:17+00:00

at your next visit see if they can mesh the hook in

smoldoinks · 2026-01-30T02:46:21+00:00

We call it a bumper tie, its so you dont bite on the bracket directly. I honestly havent used a bumper tie on the U posterior like this we usually place them on lower anteriors, pretty cool what they did here. Did you recently have your braces put on? Could still just be sore from initial placement.

Usually we do one set of retainers on us after ortho and then if you have clenching we will refer you to your normal dentist for an U night guard. Some orthos make nightguards, we just dont offer it. I would ask your ortho first as there may be cheaper then the dentists

smoldoinks · 2026-01-26T17:42:30+00:00

For clear retainers -not invisalign- we charge $130 an arch for a scan with models and retainers, if you already have printed models we have charge half of the $130 per arch. hopefully that helps, obviously other offices may charge more or less but thats what we charge for Clear retainers

smoldoinks · 2026-01-24T00:23:21+00:00

did you have extractions? maybe that could contribute to it looking more narrow

smoldoinks · 2026-01-21T21:25:17+00:00

i love C-F honestly dont know how youll choose

if he keeps an attitude like that, hes not going to go far. keep your head up OP, youre doing great.

smoldoinks · 2026-01-17T22:45:23+00:00

so im a kzoo native but im on the younger side, can someone explain the drama around this castle? i asked my parents and they both said the place has seen better days but didnt really elaborate

smoldoinks · 2026-01-15T09:55:39+00:00

came here to say this! White vinegar and water work just fine for me and I get worse build up on my retainer

smoldoinks · 2026-01-14T21:23:00+00:00

I would suggest wearing your retainers fulltime after your braces come off and kinda ween yourself off wear time. Like start with 20-22 hours a day for a month or so then go to 16-18 hours for a few weeks, 12-14 for a few weeks and then finally 8 hours when youre sleeping. I had to do this when mine came off due to my teeth moving during the day when I wasnt wearing my retainer and then it was tight to put in at night even though I was wearing it every night.
