Bringing Music to Smiles: Invisalign and Wind Instruments for Children

In the vibrant city of Garland, parents often find themselves faced with the challenge of balancing their child's musical interests with necessary orthodontic care. The harmonious union of music and dental health becomes particularly relevant when considering the use of wind instruments by children undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. In this article, we explore the compatibility of Invisalign with wind instruments, shedding light on how parents in Garland can nurture their child's musical talents while maintaining a healthy smile.

Understanding Invisalign in Orthodontics:

Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic treatment, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These clear aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired positions, allowing for a seamless and inconspicuous orthodontic experience. Garland parents seeking orthodontic solutions for their children have increasingly turned to Invisalign for its effectiveness and aesthetic appeal.

Wind Instruments and Orthodontic Considerations:

Parents often wonder whether their child can continue playing wind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet, or saxophone, while undergoing Invisalign treatment. The good news is that Invisalign's removable nature makes it easier for young musicians to pursue their musical passions without significant hindrance.

Orthodontics in Garland and Musical Harmony:

In Garland, where the arts thrive, parents are encouraged to support their children's musical endeavors. With Invisalign, the transition to playing wind instruments becomes smoother, allowing kids to maintain their commitment to music while addressing orthodontic concerns. Parents should communicate openly with their orthodontic specialists in Garland to ensure a tailored approach that considers both the dental treatment plan and the child's musical pursuits.

Practical Tips for Parents:

Consistent Wear and Care:

Emphasize the importance of consistent Invisalign wear. Remind your child to wear the aligners for the recommended duration each day to maintain progress in their orthodontic treatment.

Cleaning Routine:

Establish a routine for cleaning both the Invisalign aligners and the child's musical instrument. Regular maintenance ensures hygiene and prevents any unwanted complications.

Communication with Orthodontic Professionals:

Stay in close contact with your orthodontist in Garland TX. Discuss your child's musical activities, and work together to create a plan that supports both their orthodontic treatment and musical pursuits.

Conclusion:

Invisalign and wind instruments can harmoniously coexist in the lives of children in Garland. As parents, it is essential to recognize the significance of both dental health and musical development. By understanding the compatibility of Invisalign with wind instruments and maintaining open communication with orthodontic professionals in Garland, parents can ensure that their children continue to smile confidently while pursuing their musical passions.

au where Steve is a famous Disney kid and Eddie is a teenaged singer-songwriter. They get pushed together at events because they're close in age, but they just quietly dislike each other.

Steve's got a new show starting, a spinoff of the one that made him a household name. They hire a newcomer, Robin Buckley, to play his best friend and the two quickly become BFF in real life.

The show runs for two seasons but when it comes time to renegotiate contracts, neither star is interested. They're older now, ready to live life on their terms and not the company's, or in Steve's case, his parents.

As soon as the finale airs, Robin and Steve celebrate by going to a gay club. A few weeks later, an interview is released where Steve comes out as bi and talks about how his parents mistreated him; how they worked with the network to pressure him to be a perfect "all-American" kid even off screen.

Meanwhile, Eddie's an impossible level of famous. He's had number-one hits, won a Grammy, headlined an arena tour, achieved every dream he had for himself as a kid growing up in a trailer park in Indiana. He's not shocked by the news that Steve is leaving Hollywood, but he's flabbergasted that the guy isn't straight. When Eddie reads the interview, he gets this weird pang in his chest, almost like regret. But he never even liked Steve.

Steve isn't in the news again and Eddie doesn't think of him for a long time.

Steve goes to college. He loves it. Not because he's great in his classes, or anything, but because he's free to be himself for the first time. He makes friends and goes to parties and relaxes. He and Robin share an apartment.

After a few semesters, Steve decides to take a couple of theater classes, and is quickly cast in campus productions. In the vague anonymity of college theater he rediscovers his love of acting. No one has expectations of him, no one forces him to perform. He graduates and slowly starts appearing in small roles in Indie films, gathering critical acclaim. He feels good. Happy. Hopeful.

Eddie is blissfully unaware of Steve's career resurgence, experiencing his own musical highpoints, until the day where he's scrolling Twitter, sees a Variety headline that's getting a bunch of attention, "Steve Harrington in talks to star in Max Mayfield's first film." Eddie's livid.

"Maxine, what the fuck?" He growls when she answers his call.

They grew up together in the same Indiana trailer park. When she moved to Hollywood to start a career as a screenwriter, Eddie was by her side. And when her first script wound up on the Black List, his involvement on the soundtrack and original songs sealed her production deal.

She gives a long suffering sigh. "Munson," she grumbles. "I know you have a weird history with this guy, but I swear he's the right choice."

"He's a stuck up rich boy who's never been in trouble in his life."

"He's changed."

"Doubtful," Eddie sneers.

"Look. I'll set-up a meeting. Come hang out and you'll see what I mean." Before she hangs up she adds, "Call me Maxine again and I'll end you."

They invite Harrington to Eddie's recording studio. His hopes are not high for this meeting, so he's already a little thrown when Steve Harrington walks in, all grown up. He's in a crimson sweater, tight jeans, hair grown long so that it flops around his face in tousled waves that actually look genuine, windswept and golden. Eddie's eyes instinctively trace the scatter of moles on Harrington's face and neck, a pang of something hitting deep in his gut. Fuck, this dude is beautiful.

"Harrington," he greets, sticks out his hand. Eddie barely hears the answering, "Munson," because instead of a handshake, Harrington pulls Eddie in for a hug. Muscles bunch under the sleeves of the sweater, against Eddie's chest, and he's assaulted by the scent of cedar and sunshine and Steve. Eddie's not prepared for any of this.

They make small talk, Harrington sharing about going to college, falling in love with theater, Robin Buckley who he calls his soulmate. Eddie's head rings with how wrong he was about this guy; the pretty kid he grew up alongside who seemed to have the world in his hands. Max was right, he's perfect. Except.

"Let's get down to it, Harrington," Eddie says. Can't bring himself to call him Steve yet, feels that will somehow change everything and he's not ready. "I'll admit that Mayfield had the right idea about you, but can you sing? Play guitar? You have to perform my music, dude. That's not a small ask."

Harrington smirks, asks for a guitar. He gets it settled across his lap before he speaks. "I started taking piano lessons when I was 4. Voice and guitar at 7."

Eddie belatedly recalls that Harrington's parents were the worst kind of stage-parents, pushing their cute kid to perform even as he sobbed about wanting to play soccer with his friends instead of going to auditions. He has a moment of shame that he forgets as the other man begins to play. It's one of Eddie's biggest hits, a ballad about a teenaged broken heart from a kid whose name he can't even remember.

Harrington's hair flops in a swoop over his forehead, his fingers move across the strings with ease, skill. His voice is a rasp, close mimic to Eddie's own, but not quite deep enough. Goosebumps spread across Eddie's arms, his neck, and warmth pools low in his gut.

Steve finishes the song, looks up, cheeks glowing pink, honey eyes bright. Eddie's fucking gone for this guy. He wants so badly he might choke on it.

"Good?" Steve asks.

Eddie's embarrassed suddenly. Unsure. He tugs at his hair. "Yeah," he laughs. "Good."

He reaches out to take the guitar, the one Steve's already handing to him, and their hands brush. Eddie flushes. Their eyes meet and Steve smiles. Eddie's thoughts are consumed with the desire to kiss his plush pink mouth.

"You wanna get dinner? Just you and me?" Steve asks.

"Yeah, Steve," he laughs. "I'd love to."

Fifteen Months Later

"Former Teen Heartthrobs Make Love Connection?"

Fans of musician Eddie Munson and former child star, Steve Harrington, were in for the surprise of their lives last night as the men arrived together for the premier of Harrington's new movie, Small Town Sins, written by up-and-coming screenwriter Max Mayfield, featuring original music by Munson. While Harrington's performance and the movie itself are garnering quite a bit of positive buzz, it's being overshadowed by gossip about Harrington and Munson's budding romance. They walked the red carpet together, pausing for photos as a duo, holding hands and flirting. When asked for confirmation of their relationship, Munson answered, 'we're bros,' before winking and pulling Harrington close.

There's a TikTok video embedded below the article, showing the men being interviewed on the red carpet. Their arms are loosely around each others' waists, and when their eyes meet they catch and hang for a beat.

"So, longtime fans of both of yours are going feral online right now because of the rumors that you two used to hate each other. Is there any truth to that?" An off-camera voice asks.

The men laugh. "We've always been great friends," Eddie answers.

"Eddie thought I was stuck up," Steve giggles.

"I did not." Eddie slaps at Steve, who gives him an affectionate smile.

"Liar," Steve answers.

Eddie leans into the camera like he's telling a secret. "Harrington here was afraid of me."

"Fuck off, I was not." They wrestle around for a couple of seconds.

Steve shrugs Eddie off, straightening his suit jacket. "Okay, maybe I was a little intimidated back then, but then this morning you found a pretty rock and cried about it."

Eddie shrieks, swatting at Steve until someone in a black suit and name tag shoos them down the red carpet.

Eddie walks off first, so he misses Steve withdrawing a hand from his pocket and saying, "Still have the rock, though." He flashes the red, grey, blue striped stone at the camera.

His gaze drifts away, landing somewhere in the distance, hazel eyes soft and heart-wrenchingly fond.

Thinking about how many people Hannibal would have to kill to cater his and Will's wedding reception. Like, he'd take out a whole orchestra bc he thought they played Music for 18 Musicians too quickly. Or the entire staff of a grocery store that ran out of fresh tarragon. Or every single person who laughed at them in middle school.

[centeris2]

sometimes I'm minding my own business brushing my teeth and I think about that whole Raptor "name change" thing at the Spring Event and how weird it all was.

Not just from a game standpoint of throwing in a character for a single quest without doing anything other than a cut scene of him walking in and declaring his name is different now, without changing his name above his character model.

I mean the whole meta reason behind it: to apparently make fun of Jojo Siwa?

Like SSE assumed their entire player base was in on this "joke" and followed what one celebrity did, which is bizarre and not a good plan, as there was no in game build up or follow up, so it makes no sense in game.

But also like....? Really? It's like SSE wants to distance themselves and point and laugh about their partnership. But she was a minor, she didn't have a choice, Nickelodeon decided to pair SSE with Jojo instead of their horse show. She's been a child star since she was what, 10? So much of her life has been owned by other people, watched by millions. And now she's old enough to have more control in her choices and defining herself, and a former company she had no choice in partnering with decides to make her into the butt of a joke because of it.

IDK. Didn't really feel like a woman-empowering move. Sure, you may not like someone, but then don't acknowledge them? It would have cost SSE $0 to not make fun of her and never reference her again

First, I just want to say how much I love the Hi-Note trio! I actually made a Tumblr account initially just to see more about them (I was/am a big fan of Woven and saw your posts about the trio on your Webtoon feed).

I want to ask if you had any thoughts about Hi-Note AUs? Like, say, one where Margie and Raf are otherworldly and Tess is human. I've wondered what that would look like but totally understand if you're not interested! Love your work, either way.

ouhh Q vQ this makes me so happy!! I never expect folks to go through the trouble of crossing platforms just to see/read my stuff... it's really warming that you followed the trio here♡♡♡

I actually haven't thought much about AU's yet..! But if anyone else has, I would love to hear about them, haha♡!!!

She felt she's too ill equipped, she couldn't handle it. So she left. No, it never felt right.

Wallowa Lake Monster, song by Sufjan Stevens.

I really loved this song so i decided to illustrate it. And it's but an outtake of a very beautiful album called "Carrie and Lowell", which i recommend.

I also plan to edit so it could take a video form but it'll take some time.

you don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up.
