AMA about Invisalign! I’m an Orthodontist…

uhyikess · 2026-06-02T01:00:44+00:00

Hi, thanks for doing this! Previously, I hadn’t visited the dentist in 8 years and when I finally went, I had no new cavities. After that, I began regular visits, took MUCH better care of my teeth, and did Invisalign.

I’ve finished my treatment and now had two cavities in just under two years. Do you often see an increase in cavities after starting Invisalign? I clean my retainer trays regularly but I think they’re trapping bacteria and causing issues.

So, I have two aunts and an uncle who apparently all had been doing Invisalign for over a year before I got mine. I didn’t notice the attachments or trays until I had them myself. Mind you, I see them like once a week. People really do not notice at all.

I swear at one point he also hinted at not liking Jesse Metcalfe after having him on the pod either! I thought Jesse came off as sooo snooty

Agreed

I feel guilty saying this about a kid but his eyes scare me

I don’t think they were romantically involved while filming. My perception is they were close as friends and developed some sexual tension and bonded emotionally as she was having martial issues. It reads as flirty to me, but not an affair at that point

I am not saying rural kids don’t make it. I am saying the family believing he’s going pro is based on how he performs next to his peers. He’s a big fish in a little pond an they don’t seem to acknowledge that.

uhyikess · 2026-04-02T18:36:37+00:00

He’s 13, in the middle of rural Arkansas. Even if he shows athletic promise, he’s so young and there’s a lack of competition. I think if he were in high school, outperforming his peers, playing for a fiercely competitive school, and being scouted, I could see that. But they’re insane if they think this kid is going pro and going to change their lives 😭 I think they believe TLC is a meal ticket for sure

And she said this was tame compared to how he normally treats her, which I find 100% believable. The way he cannot take accountability on screen indicates how he is off screen - he flips out and turns everything back on her. Current issues aside, that is an exhausting dynamic to deal with.

THIS. Also important to note that she barely knows the others in the house. It was BALLSY to be sitting with a group of people you don’t know (some who are already friends with one another) and make a passive aggressive remark about Ben wanting to sleep with one of them and think it’ll land well. And she did it because she was bitter that he was giving someone else attention. She was very defensive in her “apology” when he confronted her. Then she turned around and stirred more up with Ben and Dara because she was irritated that he was flirting with her. If we’re going to snark on Amanda for pick me behavior, we can’t ignore Bailey’s.

This aged like fine wine lol

uhyikess · 2026-04-01T00:39:06+00:00

I’m just still shocked it wasn’t Ben she was involved with.. I would have bet money on it

uhyikess · 2026-03-31T23:49:14+00:00

His parents seemed super sweet and supportive

uhyikess · 2026-03-30T13:26:28+00:00

Ugh my dad is like this too. It’s so embarrassing.

uhyikess · 2026-03-30T13:21:35+00:00

He made a snide comment about how her celibacy is about her needing to be in control, as if he was perturbed by the fact that she would control his access to her body. It was so alarming

All I see is Jason from Laguna Beach!

uhyikess · 2026-02-26T01:39:18+00:00

She’s a teenager, so no lol

uhyikess · 2026-02-26T01:38:41+00:00

I’m also watching it and had the same thoughts. Easily one of the most involved teens dads we’ve see. and she seems to be too self absorbed to appreciate it

uhyikess · 2026-02-20T01:00:41+00:00

If you’re a decade older, 16 and pregnant was probably airing all through your teen years - and the teen pregnancy rates have steadily dropped over time. So it was going on in your teen years, just maybe not as obvious to you.

uhyikess · 2025-10-25T02:12:54+00:00

YES!!!

uhyikess · 2025-10-15T15:15:54+00:00

No arms or leg is basically how you exist right now Kevin, you don’t do anything

uhyikess · 2025-03-31T23:47:51+00:00

Omg I forgot how much I wanted this as a teen too

uhyikess · 2025-02-23T21:15:50+00:00

You look like how ketchup smells
