Has anyone here had experience with Invisalign?

I had the retainer form of them and found it uncomfortable to talk with them in but otherwise better than braces. Flossing, brushing, and whatnot can be done normally and the invisalign itself is easy to clean. You're also free to eat what you like without worrying about a wire stabbing your gums.

Bit of a weird one for my fellow ladies.

Has anyone here had experience with Invisalign? Not sure what to expect, how annoying/hard to maintain is the permanent retainer wearing. (Have had braces, hated the retainer when I got them off)

Details/PL/Rationale:I had significant dental/orthodontic work done when I was 14-15 so all my teeth could fit in my mouth and stop literally shattering because there was not enough room for them. It's been almost 20 years, things have moved and I have some awkward gaps at my front teeth, causes me to impact/use two teeth only while eating, and those two front teeth are starting to thin, I can see this is happening, my dentist recommended this as a solution, but is not pressuring me.

Toss-up for me between Invisalign and braces. I've had both. I had braces in high school and then after college I had my wisdom teeth removed and needed Invisalign to correct some moving that happened after that. Obviously Invisalign is more subtle than braces, but people can still tell you're wearing one and I never fully got rid of the lisp when I wore it. Taking it out for every meal and brushing/flossing before replacing it is annoying. You have to be careful not to lose your trays. BUT much less painful than braces and food won't get stuck in your invisalign like they will with braces.

I still have to wear my permanent trays in the evening going on 6 years later. If I go a few days without wearing them, I feel a faint ache in my teeth and I can tell my tray is tighter when I put it back on. Much more comfortable than the retainer you get after braces and not a big deal to sleep with at all. I have tray insurance for like $100 a year and I get new trays every quarter.

Im afraid to imagine how you sleep or how you fight your head while hymidity is high

Reeeeeally late and gay replying to this but hair pins are a great way to manage long hair as well. Putting your hair into the same style again and again does start to weaken the points where pressure is highest in that particular hairstyle over time, so it's better to alternate. My hair reaches close to halfway down my legs these days and I personally move between using a giant, super soft velvet scrunchie, hair pins and a set of three thick wool strands to loosely braid into my hair, then pin that up with said pin while it's braided. Said wool strands are also good to use loosely braided in for sleeping, or you can make a custom satin smock type thing, shove all your hair in that, secure it to the base of your neck with a scrunchie IE ponytail, then sleep with a satin pillow case to avoid breakage during the night (and so you don't roll on it too of course)

What does a decently dressed man look like from a woman's POV? All the resources I can find on the internet for dressing as a man is directed towards either gay men or a pretty gay looking preppy look which is not my groove at all. I dress pretty western, button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, jeans, boots, that sort of thing. I've never gotten complaints, but I've also never gotten compliments.

Also got any shampoo and conditioner suggestions? I swapped from a two in one to separated ones and it made such a difference now I got to know what the good quality shit is like. For reference I have wavy brown hair that's a couple inches above shoulder length if that matters.

The style itself is subjective, you do what works for you. How you present it is different. Do your jackets match your other clothing, shoes, and accessories? Are your clothes wrinkled or fit weirdly? Are you well groomed? Nails and beard trimmed, hair styled, etc? All of that in conjunction is important. I think what you're going for is a more blue collar/rugged style given the boots and jeans. Not in a 2010s Mumford and Sons way but I was thinking more 70's-80's "rugged man" way.

Spoiler: Some photos I snagged from pinterest

Some modern, some retro looks though what most have in common are higher waist pants and tucked in shirts. Your jeans, boots, and button ups can still be incorporated but it does look more put together imo.

If you get a nice pair of ostrich leather boots, you wont look poor

Make sure it is ironed, crisp and clean. Not faded, if there's a hole it goes in the bin.

TBH it's less about what style you are dressing in and more about how much you take care of the clothes.

Ok i have a other question
What should i get for my sister for New year?
She is a interior designer and a other of 3.
Doesnt really have any big hobbie since she simply doesnt have time anymore.
She moved to a other town not so long ago so i cant just pay a visit to a spa or massages for her, and i want to give something that will help her relax. Someone in a gift thread suggested foot bath but it looks like kind of thing that will just collection dusty in a close after a couple of uses.

Damn its pricey for shampoo.
Eh.. will try at least once

 

[Mandy Stroyer]

and i want to give something that will help her relax.

Three kids running around making noise or kid smells? Noise canceling headphones, aromatherapy type things, you could also do an at-home spa kit. Soaps, lotions, bath bombs/salts/milks, face masks. It does require some research but it's more personalized. If you want to get real fancy, you could get her some wine or champagne (if she drinks), some snacks, and a tub caddy to put them on. Or if the spas or massage parlors near her offer vouchers/gift cards, that's an option. There's also masseuses that can do in home appointments.

You have a very similar mane to me, is there a final solution to the stray wavy hair menace or is there no peace from this evil without usage of chemical hairspray to make it stick down? I can tie it back just fine it just looks like shit because of all the oddly lengthed frizz, I'm actually considering going to an actual hairdressers to sort it out but it's 2 years into my Conan phase and they might ruin it.

Suggest something with a tshirt? Or is it unfashionable? I find shirts to be extremely uncomfortable especially on frequent use. Unless I go to a formal gathering or a dinner or something I don't feel like wearing buttoned shirts.

I personally don't do any of that myself, and the shampoo I use is just a very basic 2 in 1 dry scalp. Maybe i'm just lucky, because it only really gets frizzy the morning after a shower. I just kind of tuck it back behind the ears and work it with my hands until it's neatened up. I'm sure there are some folks in here who can recommend actual product for you though, because I haven't really had the problem where it gets out of control (that photo was taken after my comb had broken, and I just didn't have one lol).

If you find the buttons uncomfortable, just wear a thin tank top under it. Follow bra colour matching advice, ie wear a beige tank under a thin top, black with something dark, or white only with other white. T-shirts are more blue collar workwear/lounging at home clothes, not something you’d wear to look fashionable.

I think the clothing piece he was looking for was a polo (which is perfectly valid for business casual)

It's not all about the buttons, I hate the process of tucking in the shirt, straightening the collar, ironing it out all that, shirts are a lot more effort to maintain and are less expendable than a tshirt. Also the shirt fabric is generally thinner than tshirt fabric which when I sweat it bleeds through and looks nasty. I try to compensate for shirts most of the time with tank tops and jackets or suits cause they feel better to wear and are easier to maintain but I'm not completely opposed to shirts if they're really required.

Polos are fine, I was referring to roundneck tshirts cause I like them but polos are good as well.

Have you tried linen shirts? They are more breathable and require less ironing. You could probably get away with just having it hung up on a hanger between wears without it getting wrinkly.

Dude I feel like such a fucking retard for not wearing my retainer after all that time wearing braces. Now my god damn bite is back with a vengeance! And it makes a difference in your appearance, cause it's literally your jaw being out of position! If you have an underbite you look like a caveman and if you have an overbite you get chud jowls!

I'm just hoping people don't notice, I'm insecure enough about my appearance lol. Although I feel like dirty or damaged teeth are worse than misaligned ones.

I also feel kinda bad cause I feel like I wasted my parent's money. You take so much for granted as a kid...
