Transforming Smiles: The Artistry of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry primarily concentrates on oral health and hygiene, cosmetic dentistry goes beyond that by enhancing the aesthetic aspects of a patient's smile. This branch of dentistry employs various procedures and techniques to achieve a more attractive and visually pleasing dental appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry not only enhances the visual appeal of a smile but can also contribute to improved self-confidence and overall well-being. Before undergoing any cosmetic dental procedure, individuals should consult with a qualified and experienced dentist to discuss their goals, expectations, and the most suitable treatment options for their unique needs.

i just think a lot about the few hugs we get to see them have. especially the one in 'daydream hour'. i have so many feelings about toshiro being repressed as hell

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

hey there! sorry to bother again, but I was in a animating mood, so I ended doing a short animation of Machete for practice. It's kinda messy since I havent done that for a while, but hope you like it!

Clear Aligners: The Transparent Path to a Confident Smile

Clear aligners have emerged as a revolutionary solution in the realm of orthodontics, offering a discreet and convenient way to achieve a straighter, more confident smile. As an alternative to traditional braces, clear aligners have gained popularity for their transparency, comfort, and effectiveness in addressing various dental concerns.

Invisible Orthodontics:

Clear aligners, often referred to as invisible or clear braces, are made from transparent materials, rendering them nearly invisible when worn. This aesthetic advantage has become a game-changer for individuals who seek orthodontic treatment without the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces.

Customized Clarity:

The process begins with a detailed digital scan or impression of the patient's teeth, allowing for the creation of a customized series of aligners. Each aligner is precisely designed to exert controlled pressure on specific teeth, gradually guiding them into the desired position. This personalized approach ensures optimal comfort and efficiency throughout the treatment.

Comfortable and Removable:

Clear aligners are crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic, eliminating the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires. The absence of sharp edges reduces the likelihood of irritation to the cheeks and gums. Additionally, clear aligners are removable, offering the freedom to eat, drink, brush, and floss without the constraints of fixed appliances.

Technology-Driven Precision:

The production of clear aligners heavily relies on advanced 3D imaging technology. Orthodontists use computer-aided design (CAD) to create a virtual model of the patient's teeth and plan the step-by-step progression of their alignment. This technology-driven precision not only enhances the accuracy of treatment but also allows patients to visualize the expected outcome before the process even begins.

Efficient and Predictable Results:

Clear aligners have proven to be effective in treating a range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. The treatment duration is often comparable to traditional braces, and the predictability of the process contributes to more efficient and reliable outcomes.

Beyond Cosmetics:

While the discreet appearance of clear aligners is undoubtedly appealing, their benefits extend beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth contribute to improved oral health, reducing the risk of issues like gum disease and cavities. A well-aligned bite can also alleviate potential jaw pain and enhance overall oral function.

Embracing Change with Confidence:

Clear aligners represent a shift in the way people approach orthodontic treatment. Beyond just straightening teeth, they empower individuals to embrace change with confidence, knowing that their journey to a beautiful smile can be discreet, comfortable, and seamlessly integrated into their daily lives.

Clear aligners have become a transformative force in orthodontics, aligning teeth and expectations alike. As technology continues to advance, the transparent path to a confident smile is likely to become an even more accessible and appealing option for those seeking orthodontic solutions.

As someone who hasn’t played the twst game very long I just got into it. I wanted to know about events? Like do some not come back? For example do the Masquerade, Port, Beanfest, Ghost bride, starsending events. Do those come back? I hear people say how they missed their chance to get this great card like as if it won’t ever come back and then someone on Reddit will say something like “Oh beanfest happened twice on the JP server” so which events have gotten reruns so far? I would ask about more recent ones like the Easter one but idk if it’s too recent to know if get rerun or if they clarify that it won’t come back? I was really sad to find out about the Silk outfits I missed out on when they visit the scalding sands. I also was really sad to find out i missed out on the anniversary cards because I didn’t play the game yet. I wish they would add the anniversary cards to the store at least…I want to be apart of the celebration :’)

I was looking in the shop and saw all the different groovy items you need to groovify event cards and this question just came to me so I had the urge to ask someone…

welcome to Twst! 🎉 it is a bit confusing to jump right into, especially because. they're not always consistent. :') it sounds like you're probably playing on Eng, which I'm less familiar with, but I'll try based on what I know! (I also don't always remember everything, so somebody please correct me if I get something wrong!)

first, I do recommend the Twst wiki.gg, which seems to stay pretty up-to-date on events for both the Eng and JP versions! it's a great resource for when you want to see if/when an event ran or rerun. in general, I believe that the Eng version only does reruns that have already happened in JP, so if JP has a rerun that hasn't happened yet in Eng, they should get it too eventually! on the other hand, I don't think either version has ever rerun an event more than once. :( BUT this doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck, because:

anniversary events (March for JP, January for Eng) will usually offer a chance to get both an older event SSR and an older birthday SSR in the shop, via buying a special item with exchange currency (which you get by doing pulls on the anniversary gacha, I think you need to do 100-150 pulls for enough currency to buy the item to exchange for an SSR). only SSRs though, and you're limited to one each (one birthday, one event). so if there's an SSR you REALLY want and it's already had its rerun, it's probably worth planning to save up some keys for!

as for actual reruns, they seem to come in a few different flavors:

straight-up rerun, no changes or extra cards

unchanged event story, with a new SSR of a character who wasn't in the story (e.g. Applepom Jamil)

slightly rewritten event story that includes a new SSR (e.g. Ghost Marriage, they don't seem to do this anymore though)

completely new event story that acts as either a sequel or alternate-universe version of the original (e.g. Beans Day part 2, Fairy Gala IF) (though this is pretty rare and might actually count as a separate event, rather than a rerun?)

Master Chef/Culinary Crucible events have never gotten reruns (though they might start now that we've finally gotten through all the characters in JP, time will tell). birthday and Halloween events will also rerun the previous version in addition to the new one -- for instance, Eng should be getting a Glorious Masquerade rerun this year, followed by the new (Playful Land) Halloween event. and a birthday campaign will, in addition to the new card, have a separate pickup for the previous year's birthday card.

for the specific ones you mentioned -- I think Beanfest, Ghost Bride, Fireworks, and Starsending have already rerun in Eng, so those most likely will not be rerun again (at least not anytime soon). Masquerade should be coming back for you guys this Halloween, and Portfest JUST got its rerun in JP, so that should be coming too sometime in the future! (no new SSR though, alas, I was really hoping for a little marching band sailor boy Leona. 😔) the Easter event is the White Rabbit Fest, right? that one hasn't gotten a rerun in JP yet either, so it's still on the table!

all that said, it's entirely possible they'll change the rules at some point and start doing more reruns/chances to get older event cards, especially since the game's been going on for a few years now and some cards haven't been available for a pretty long time! there's only one card that they said was for-realsies limited-time-only and wouldn't ever be available again -- Platinum Grim, since he was to celebrate the 100th anniversary -- so. there's always a little bit of hope for everything else. :D (fairy gala Ortho PLEASE COME BACK SOB)
