RE: Three wishes challenge - 30-03-2019 : wish power !
Thank you for participating! I would love to have that wish for Health become a truth for all of us! And I agree that braces are something that a better solution should be developed for, I never had them but should have according to various dental people. They look like such a pain, I decided that my teeth were not that bad. :)
Lovely flower, cool that you have kept it's plant growing for 10 years!
And happy (soon) Birthday!
You made a good decision... I had braces for my whole youth and still my teeth and more importent my jaw is not ok aligned. Neither was it fun to wear them, nor to get the replacements... 😱 In addition the braces hurt my teeth at their roots.
The whole braces thing seems like a bit of a scam that is unnecessary for many people... my brother needed them for some specific issues but I have seen people with them for non medically necessary issues. Also, when the Dental dude wanted me to get them, he proposed a $30,000 total cost to fix my face which is slightly miss-aligned due to a childhood fall. He wanted me symmetrical, I wanted 1 issue repaired. I got repaired for $5000 and he was sad that he didn't get to break my jaw and restructure everything to make me prettier. I didn't need perfect, just working and dentists don't do imperfection well...
Thank you for the invitation, @jamethiel. Our eldest was given that choice, but the other two, alas, do not have that choice.
I still have a few more days for my birthday :D
