I had braces over 12 yrs ago for 5 years for a severe overbite (buckteeth). I don't know if it is my imagination, but I think they might shifted forward a little bit. Anyone else have this problem?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Teeth shifting after braces

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Well, I had to wear a retainer too, but those days are long gone. I am talking about noticing a shift way after the braces and retainer are off.Kerpal said:Yeah, my dog ate my retainer and I didn't get a new one for a few months and mine shifted a little too. When I finally got a new retainer it hurt like hell for a week but it fixied them. Just make sure you wear your retainer often, I wear mine whenever im sleeping.

There's always a chance of the teeth shifting back to the original positions long after the treatment especially when your post treatment positions are far away from the pre treatment positions ie the post treatment positions are not as stable as we wanted. For severe cases the dentist may advise the patient to wear the retainers permanently(at night).
If i don't put the retainer overnight the next time it hurts a lot more.
What im feeling is some of my teeth are actually kind of lose (the 3rd and 4th specifically). I have gotten the braces off last September and am wondering if this is just a temporary thing ?

Orthodontists are now saying that you always have to use a retainer at night for this exact reason.mahon83050 said:Well, I had to wear a retainer too, but those days are long gone. I am talking about noticing a shift way after the braces and retainer are off.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I hope not. Luckily I only had braces and did not need surgery for mismatched jaws. I never realized how much the jaws have an impact on facial aesthetics. Check out what Corrective Jaw Surgery did for this guy. Amazing!Shiftkey said:Orthodontists are now saying that you always have to use a retainer at night for this exact reason.
