#how much overbite is normal

[chatfieldbraces]

Normal Overbite conditions can be treated with braces. Braces work gradually to straighten the teeth. When braces are followed by Chatfield Dental Braces , London Dentist retainers provider , it gives lifelong result. The treatment can last up to 1-2 years. It can even take longer than 2 years depending upon your condition. The Normal bucktooth correction can happen with the treatment with Invisalign braces.

I also wanna know about your Timmy Turner headcanons, please.🩷

Please enjoy these low quality images of the Boy™ ever.

Timmy is so extremely Boy that he's also a girl to me. You understand and you agree.

Related: when he feels like a girl, he just has Wanda and Cosmo switch his gender. So much easier than keeping a whole second closet of wigs and makeup and dresses on hand! Normally, though, Timmy feels masculine/androgynous and doesn't care how he's perceived. (He's got better shit to do than worry if his hair is getting too long or if wearing that cute shirt he saw at Walmart will make him look like a girl. Not his problem!!!)

When he gets older he starts to love his teeth, purely out of spite because so many people dragged him about his overbite over the years.

He retires his pink hat as a teenager. (He gives it to Poof.)

In my ideal canon, Timmy ends up as an honorary fairy. Because fuck any reality where he has to say goodbye to his found family, I don't respect that at all.

He and Chester briefly "date" in middle school. It's mostly sweaty hand holding and lots of awkward blushing. It doesn't work out, but it's what introduces Timmy to the wonderful world of Questioning Your Sexuality (and eventually his gender).

Timmy graduates high school with a comfortable C average.

Timmy's favorite wish is Poof.

His favorite reoccuring wish is putting a theme park in his backyard. At this point, he's purposely trying to see how long it takes his parents to notice. (Hint: they never do.)

Timmy always has a pair of scissors on him, in case he needs to cut through a net unexpectedly. He never leaves home without something sharp.

He gets a shitty tattoo when he's fifteen to spite his parents (they don't notice). His second tattoo is carefully selected to remind him of Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, and they are with Timmy in human disguises when he gets it. He gets other tattoos eventually, but the second one is his favorite.

When he gets older, his parents get worse. They neglect him more frequently and yell at him when they are paying attention to him. Wanda and Cosmo give Timmy an emergency button that will poof him into their castle if he needs to hide for whatever reason. He eventually gets his own bedroom next to Poof's.

(On really bad nights, he wanders the Hall of Timmy to remind himself that he's loved.)

Timmy dislikes his last name. (For a couple years after the Wishology stuff, he flinches when someone says his full name.)

He and Trixie become really good friends in high school once she stops caring about the opinions of people who don't like the real her, anyway.

His least favorite color is orange. (Blue is a close second.)

Timmy mellows with age but he still loves to cause problems on purpose. Sometimes just to get Cosmo to laugh and Wanda to do her fond little eyeroll.

He leaves the house on his eighteenth birthday. (It's the only birthday that his parents ever remembered.)

**************************************************************************************

You would have thought being digitalized would get rid of this kind of thing. Nobody else seems to have something like this, do they? You stared at your reflection in the mirror, lips pulled back in a grimace, staring at your teeth. Your overbite stared blankly back at you, almost teasingly.

Sighing, you turned away, closing your mouth once more. If only there was a way to get rid of it. You wished you could simply shove your jaw into place, and move your teeth around. You didn’t even care how badly it would hurt, as long as it was fixed…

A small knock at your door snapped you to reality. You shuffled over to it, cracking it slightly “Ragatha?” you questioned, your lovely ragdoll girlfriend smiling before you. Next to her, your best friend Pomni nervously stood. 

“Sweetie, can we come in? You’ve been hiding away for hours,” Ragatha spoke softly, reaching out and taking the door into her hand, opening it fully when you didn’t resist. “Sure… I wasn’t doing anything,” you shrug and retreat into your room, the girls on your heels. You settle onto your bed, Ragatha taking her place next to you while Pomni turns your desk chair around to sit.

“Have you been okay?” Pomni questions, glancing at you with that same worried look she normally wore, the only difference being this worry was more concern for you than anything else. “I’m fine,” you lie, knowing Ragatha would jump on that immediately. Really, you didn’t care.

“Sweetie, that's a lie, everyone knows something’s wrong,” she takes your hand, swirling small circles on your skin with her thumb, “please, tell us.” With a small sigh, you finally give in, “I… I don’t like… this,” you point to your mouth, feeling tears prick your eyes.

“What, your messed up teeth?” Your head shoots up, and you lock eyes with the smug-faced rabbit. “Jax!” Ragatha stands, placing herself between you, “who let you in?!” “Myself. The door wasn’t locked,” he swaggered into the room, one hand on his hip, “crybaby here still upset over their maw?”

You really start crying now. This was too much. You leap from your bed, running as fast and as far from him as you can. You didn’t know where you were going- you didn’t care. As long as you were alone, that's all that mattered. You ended up down by the digital lake, crying into your hands. 

You didn’t know how long you were there, alone, but it felt like hours. Not that time mattered in a place like this. Nothing did. You wondered if abstracting was really all that bad…

“Hey, toots.” That voice. You turned, and there he was in all his (lack of) glory. “What do you want?” you snarled weakly, trying to sound tougher than you felt. It wasn’t all that convincing, however, because he sat himself next to you.

“Look, that wasn’t supposed to make you that upset,” he shrugged casually. Was that supposed to be an apology? You stared at the water a moment longer, then stood, “Leave me alone. You’re the world’s biggest @#$%head and I wish it was you, not Kaufmo,” your words were tonless as you delivered them. You swore you saw pain flash in his eyes before you turned away, starting up the path back to the tent.

“Wait!” he called, “just… hear me out? Can I get that at least?” You stop, refusing to turn around to look at him, but listen. “You’re different, okay? You dint react to anything I say to you and it pisses me off. You don’t pay any attention to me.”

“That’s because I don't care about you,” you speak dangerously. “I know. And that just makes me want you to more.” You whip around, finally giving him the attention he wanted, “You want me to?! Then don’t make fun of the one thing I hate most about myself!” 

“But it’s what I like best,” he admitted, making you stop in your tracks, “it makes you look… good, okay? And if… if dollface ever doesn’t appreciate you… She's an idiot.” He finally stood, making his way past you, patting your head as he did so, “because I’d never take you for granted, okay? Anyways see ya later toots.” 

You watched him leave, back to his normal self. But something made you smile. Maybe he wasn’t so bad. After all, if he liked every part of you… who’s to say there isn’t something more to him too?

[yournormalidiot]

Right this thought has plagued me all day so here's what I think the poets would be insecure about (yes these are all mini essay's, no I will not stop and write hc like a normal person)

Todd: I think he used to be a bit chubby as a kid, not fat or anything just a little extra weight that kids lose when they hit growth spurts and shit. (He doesn't have a good relationship with food) I think his peers would have made fun of him and his mother would have been very sad about it, cause Jeff was never like that and blah blah. (It's one of the memories that haunt him) also his teeth and hair. Like this man spends AGES styling it and hair cuts terrify him.

How quite he is, he desperately wants to be confident but can't and lays awake thinking about how he acted that day worrying about it and stuff. (He talks bad about himself.in his head alot)

Neil: how skinny he is, I hc that he was always really skinny even as a kid. And the others kids def thought he was weird and he was also super light and could get shoved around easy so he never played with the boys which made it worse. (He invest into his personality and by the time he was like 9 or 10 he started getting popular)

He also trys really hard to be perfect and used to read books on how to be more likable as a kid.

Meeks: his freakles, I don't think he likes them alot. No particular reason I think he just never sees anyone famous with them and he thinks he'd look sm better with out them. Also his hair, I think he wishes it wasn't curly cause its such a pain to take care of and it can look so ratty somtimes. (Also wants to dye his hair a light brown but can't cause he knows he'd break his mam's heart)

Pitts: fuck me literally everything this man hates sm about himself its not ok. He doesn't like his height at all and how lanky he is. He really wants yo be a bit shorter and have more muscles. Also his hair and how he moves, sense he's so tall he's a bit awkward when he walks and stuff and it's all he can think about somtimes. (Its effect his running performance more than once)

also how he acts, like how loud/energetic he is, his reactions and faces he makes (he's really bad at hiding his emotions). He trys to plan things ahead of time so he won't hate how he reacts/trys to make his self act different but always forgets and can't.

Charile: this isn't so much an insurcerty but he has a desperate need to be liked, it comes from his parents giving him 0 attention his entire life and he definitely lacked friends as a kid cause he just didn't know how to act. So he made up for it by being loud and cocky.

I think he would try act like the popular boys from movies and TV shoes in hopes he'd be liked to.

Knox: I'm not really sure, knox doesn't strike me as a very insecure person. Mabye food, I'm not sure why but he def doesn't like eating alot. I think it stems from his father, like they gain weight more easy due to genes so his dad is very strict about him not eating to much or smth.

Cameron: also his weight, but more his build. He is a normal weight and some 'fat' (its is muscles just not defined) that he hates and trys to get ride of. Also his freakles but mostly his teeth, he def had buck teeth or an overbite as a kid that he got badly bullied for (got fixed with braces when he was 8 cause he cried begging to his parents to) also his hand and ears, he thinks his hands are to fat and his ears stick out to much. Also not exactly insecurity but how scared he is of breaking the rules. He really wants to break them and be reckless, but due to his upbringing and the stress put on him by his family its hard. He's always wanted to even as a kid ans thinks he'd have true friends (and the poets would like him more, specifically Charlie) if he did loose up and tried many times over the years but just can't.

He also really hates himself, like if you heard how he thinks of himself you'd probably cry and hug him and book him therapy immediately.

Mr keating: his height (our short king) not sm sense he got married but as a teen especially it was somthing he was bullied alot for it. (Mostly by his brothers) also his interests, definitely got called girlie and nerdy for his interest by his peers and brothers, so he doesn't talk about them much around his family.

(I'm don't know these characters very well so sorry of there bad/don't make sense)

Chris: how she dresses, she trys really hard to make sure her outfit looks perfect and is up to date with trends. She was friendly with the popular girls as a kid and saw how they treat other girls who they thought look/dressed poorly and how quick they'd switch up on each other if they didn't stay in trend. So now she's terrified of her friends doing that to her.

Ginny: how boyish she is, she's always been a tomboy especially as a kid and as much as she loved it she also hated it. She had a very lonely childhood sense the girls though the was weird so they left her out alot, were fake or just straight up ignored her. And the boys made fun of her alot (so did he brother). And her parents (especially her mother) were very disappointed and made it clear. Her mother wanted a little princess she could dress up

When she hit puberty she kinda became more girlie, like she still perfers comfert over looking perfect but she'll were make-up and dresses now. She had friends now and there lovely but she still feels a little isolated (and feels like she always will) and like she's missing somthing, especially when their all talking about sleepovers and stuff from when they were young sense she never had any of that.

Remembrance of a coffee order

Urghhh (* ´ ﹃｀*) My side hurts like so furking bad rn, and I think it's from where I haven't slept... It's 6am btw (๑-﹏-๑)

It's fiiine... I'll go to sleep soon... Maybe (ᵕ—ᗜ—) Anyways, here's an Allan Red/Reader because I think there's not enough of them in the world!!! ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

ao3

“By the way, can you grab me a coff-” “Here.”

Allan places the cup in front of you, stopping your sentence prematurely. In truth, with the number of times you’d asked that critter to get coffee, you shouldn’t be shocked he knew your order by heart. Still, you were a bit touched that Allan cared as much as he did to remember. With how Allan kept up that wall, that facade of disinterest towards you, in reality, you knew he cared. You could tell by the little things he did, namely, remembering small details like your coffee order…

It wasn’t a big thing, it shouldn’t have made you smile as wide as it did. But it did. You smiled, chuckling softly under your breath as you plucked the coffee from the break room counter. A hum of amusement poured from your lips, another giggling falling from them soon after. Allan raised a brow, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. Allan wasn’t stupid, far from it in actuality. He knew when you were being mischievous, or, better yet, when you were catching on to him. 

His eyes narrowed into small slits, a hum-like grunt of disapproval rumbling his throat. A soft hue lit his cheeks, the embarrassment creeping up his spine. If Allan was right, and normally he was about these things, you had read his ass like a book. He adjusts his tie, fidgeting slightly, all his fidgety and nervous manners elicited a much louder chuckle out of you. You cover your mouth with your free hand, a wide grin crinkling your skin in amusement. 

If anyone was the worst at keeping their cool, it was probably Allan. He could win an award for ‘worst at keeping their cool around their crush who happens to be their coworker’, maybe even multiple with how cute he looked while losing it. Allan shoots a look over at you, another disgruntled grunt leaving from lips. “What are you laughing at? Nothing is funny.” He grumbles in that monotone voice, his tone overflowing with a bright red embarrassment. 

You almost felt bad for the guy… key word being almost. Look, he just looked so damn cute. You take a small sip from your coffee, shrugging shallowly as you grin at the fidgety critter. “Nothing, nothing at all…” You grin, taking another sip from the iced coffee.

Allan grumbles again, finally flatting his tie out and shaking his hands to quiet his fidgeting. He shifts on his feet, now refusing to make eye contact under any circumstances. His cheeks are bright red, brighter than his skin. If you touched them you could feel how hot they were, burning like a train's engines. Of course, you were the coal that fueled that train's engine as of current. No, you were the only coals that fueled that engine. You’d never seen Allan blush this hard, let alone get embarrassed over anything this small if it weren’t tied to you. The thought made you smile a little, a devious smile of course. 

A small flood of giggles flowed from your open lips, your hand just barely covering them. Allan grumbled in embarrassment, that adorable grumble he almost did when he knew you’d never let him live something down. It was a hoarse noise, almost gravelly yet soft. He always muffled it, ducking his face into his hands to hide.

As the surge of your giggle fit came to a slow end, you came to pat Allan on the back. Your palm rubbed his shoulder tenderly, moving in soothing circles. A warm smile spread across your face as you looked at him, poking at his covered face with the hand that held your coffee still. Begrudgingly, Allan lifted his head slightly away from the safety of his palms. His brows were knitted tightly, and a small grimace laid on his overbite lips. You hummed approvingly, patting his shoulder softly. You examined his face for a moment, with how close you were you could feel the heat radiating off him. Another hum leaves you, this one of more satisfaction. Allan’s brows furrowed more, his suspicions growing by the second.

“What are you plan-” 

This time, you were the one to cut him off. A careful kiss is laid on his cheek, just a few inches from his lips. As you pull back you can see the gears turn in his head, an eruption almost going off in that brain of his.

“I’ll treat you to coffee next time, okay?”

[mouthsfullofsharpteeth]

Polyhornets, but tim is the only werewolf surrounded by vampires. They all wanna leave their teeth marks on him to show how much they love him and how happy he makes them. A bunch of bats curled up into soft and warm fur, happy little squeaks as they cuddle.

this is the cutest fucking thing ever hehdfkgjdflg tim waking up after a full moon, still furrier than normal, to find alex jay and brian in each of their little bat forms, nestled up in a tiny batty cuddle pile right on top of his chest, cozy and warm in soft fur. tim's neck and shoulders and arms always littered in bite marks both big and small. even if he isnt awake when the bites are left, he can tell the difference between those sets of teeth easily. the bat bites are tiny and needle-like, and the humanoid ones are easily deducible. alex's fangs are the longest and he bites with his whole jaw, brians are set wider and sometimes when he bites hard you can even see the indent of the gap between his front teeth, jays overbite and slightly curved fangs make his the easiest to tell apart, and god does he bite hard too. tim would never complain though. the werewolf packs in the area might consider him a traitor to his own kind, or a victim under the persuasion of the smallest vampire coven they've ever seen, but tim has never been happier being the personal wolfy chew toy to three gorgeous vamps

Slaying Simming the Princess

I finished playing the pristine cut update for Slay the Princess a while ago and thought to myself: what if I made these guys in the sims? And so I did. I guess this is where they ended up after the "And? What happens next?" ending. XD

I started on The Long Quiet first. I'll admit that his CC is pretty scuffed, but this is the best I could find. It really should not be this hard to find animal parts (that actually work) for a sims game that's been out for this long, but that's just how it is. 😤 I kept seeing these big, beautiful wings taunting me from ts4 the whole time I was cc hunting... I also gave him a long, pointy nose to replicate his beak, and I think it looks alright. I may shorten it in the future, but he does canonically have a pretty monstrous-looking face, so maybe I should just let him be a little ugly. I also think his expression and slight overbite are also kind of cute. ^^ As for his traits, I realized that LQ is actually meant to be sort of a blank slate for the player to project onto, so I picked his traits off of how I personally played him. I also gave him the "Natural Cook" trait since he's already proficient with a knife. XD

Princess was much easier to find CC for, but her anime facial proportions posed some challenges of their own. Knowing from past experience that you can't make anime eyes really work in ts3's artstyle, I tried to go more semi-realistic. I'm not totally satisfied with how her face turned out, but I think she at least looks pretty by normal human standards. I may go cc hunting for a more accurate hairstyle in the future as well. I gave her the "Loves the outdoors" trait since I figured she would appreciate being outside more after being confined for so long. Also, you can't see it with her dress, but I made it so that she's usually barefoot. I mean... in the game, you never once see her wearing shoes, so I figured that she just doesn't have 'em. 🤷‍♀️

So... that's all I have to say about these two for now. I'm going to move them into Moonlight falls, and may consider moving them to Dragon Valley later (after they scope it out with the traveler mod). I plan to post about their first days doing life together sometime soon. ^^

tell me more about monsoon and indigo please (politely) ((its Hollie and Rose)) (((Rose is our Bracken)))

HI AGAIN HOLLIE IMGLAD YOU LIKED LAMP,,, HELLO ROSEITS NICE TO MEET YOU 👋👋👋

starting with monsoon,,

Monsoon gestated on Vow and was born there. Its birdlike attributes came about because a manticoil died and was absorbed into the soil almost directly above Monsoon’s incubation area, further changing its features. A Bracken is a very adaptable creature in its early life stages.

Monsoon’s beak isn’t explicitly hooked as you might expect in a hawk or falcon. It has a small curve and remains very sharp but seems otherwise harmless. (Indigo would say otherwise; whilst raising Monsoon, it bit him enough times while feeding that he has enough scars to cover half of his hands and some even go up to his forearms. Three bites went down to the bone. Monsoon has, indeed, consumed some small pieces of Indigo.)

The blue dots scattered on Monsoon’s body are a result of a regular variation in Bracken markings, typical of the baseline species. They work typically to confuse its prey or otherwise disorient, seeing as the contrast between the reds and stark blues serves to strain most of its prey species’ eyes. This usually presents in normal brackens as varying browns, light blues and whites.

They also have a lot of symbolism for Indigo. Beneath the light, they appear to be a stark shade of (the color) indigo. Indigo considers them to be the mark that he himself has left on Monsoon’s life.

Monsoon is a ‘special case’ among brackens regarding symbiotic behaviors typically shown with the ones that raised it. Normally, a Bracken leaves their pseudo parents after reaching a juvenile age. Monsoon stays with Indigo far beyond that age range, and displays behaviors that are incredibly odd. You could consider Monsoon to be technically tame. (It is still a wild thing!!!! A very wild thing!!!)

There have been no recorded cases of a Bracken being raised by a humanoid before then. This excludes Masked and Coil-heads. Thus, the behaviors that Monsoon has adopted are recognizable as Indigo’s own habits, body language, and tones.

Monsoon’s kind of like a very large bird. It does sometimes ‘preen’ the foliage on its back. (Yes, it tries to preen Indigo too, to varying success.)

Monsoon runs fairly cold, as it does not have blood.

It does not have bones.

It does have organs.

Monsoon has never met another Bracken, but has interacted closely with Nutcrackers, Masked and jesters. (It likes the music :])

Monsoon is very flexible. It does not have bones to restrain it.

It’s an extremely messy eater. Indigo mostly just lands on March or Vow and lets Monsoon hunt down some manticoils. There have been multiple occasions where Monsoon’s dragged a masked’s corpse back half eaten, oftentimes with the masked still writhing. It’s kind of like how cats drag rats back home.

Ok. Ok I could say More. But I have to move onto Indigo or else I never will

Indigo has four molars and an overbite.

He cannot hear amazingly well, but his sense of hearing is very keen in regards to small, barely audible sounds. For example, he would sooner pick up on a Bracken’s leaves rustling a room away than he would a jester’s song. There are certain frequencies that Indigo cannot hear at all (which also ties in a bit regarding his struggle to hear a jester’s song.)

His eyes are rounded and fairly similar to a Bracken’s, minus the glow. They’re just a solid, glassy white. He is not blind.

Due to his biological composition, there are certain entities who may entirely ignore him. Coil-heads, Masked and Nutcrackers never pay much attention to him unless he explicitly attempts to catch their attention. The chances that they outright ignore his presence are about an 80/20 ratio.

Indigo does not have a good grasp of his emotions.

Indigo is the one who named Monsoon.

Indigo has no real idea how old he is physically, yet retains physical reflexes and body language from previous ‘iterations’ of him. (previous individuals/creatures he was made from.)

He has salivated blood before. Small amounts that stung the inside of his mouth. Wonder where that came from?

Indigo does not have a stomach.

Indigo spent 2 weeks of his life raising Monsoon. Before that, he’d only been alive for roughly four days and with his original crew for two days before getting two of them killed as a result of his actions. The third died in the attempt to protect him from a Masked, which was curious about him, which ultimately meant nothing.

There are incredibly small spines that extend from the bones of his spinal cord, usually remaining pressed flat against his skin to avoid chafing. The longest is only an inch long.

Indigo bites things a lot as a way to stim. It also feels good for his teeth.

Autism. He’s just not alive long enough to discover most of the symptoms aside from biting.

Again, he’s very bad at social interactions. He’s more likely to stare than he is to respond if you greet him.

this is all I can think of rn .,,,. My brain Empty….

Emerald Eyes (Mad Hatter X Music Meister)

Tw: None

PICS FOR ART IS NOT MINE ALL CREDIT GOES TOWARDS THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS

Okay, calm yourself, Jervis. The smaller man reassured himself as he fumbled with his tie. He, for once, had a date—a rare sight, yes, but even rarer that the person wasn't under hypnosis. He swallows hard as he studies himself in his full-body mirror. He instantly picked out his flaws. Short, large nose, messy blonde hair, and large teeth with an overbite. Granted, the overbite wasn't his fault. His mother refused to even take him to the doctor when he was little, so a dentist was out of the question. He shakes his head and dusts his suit off. It was a dark emerald green with a navy blue tie suit custom made by himself. It still gave him the Mad Hatter colors, but without all the extra pieces. He felt comfortable as the Mad Hatter, safe, if you will. The persona gave him confidence, something Jervis Tetch didn't have much of.

The poor man nearly jumps out of his skin when his doorbell rings. He looked at his nightstand and saw that Darius was there on time. Not a minute early, not a minute late. Oh yeah, Jervis Tetch, also known as the Mad Hatter, was going on a date with Darius Chaple, better known as the Music Meister. "O-one moment!" he called as he grabbed a gold pocket watch and linked it through some of his belt loops before placing it in his pocket and letting the access chain hang down. He then rushed out of his room and into the living room, opening the door. He looked up at the taller, red-haired man and blushed madly. The tips of his ears went red. Darius wore a dark purple suit accented with music notes on the jacket. His hair was styled neatly, and he too had a faint blush on his cheek, but he grinned down at Jervis, his tooth gap showing proudly. However, there was something different about today's outfit: his eyes weren't covered by his normal sunglasses. Darius had bright green eyes; they were like emeralds shining in the light above, and his long eyelashes only complimented them! Oh, how Jervis loves him.

Jervis stared at Darius for a moment more before Darius chuckled. "You're staring handsome; surely I don't look that bad?" He asked, teasing Jervis, but Darius felt a little bit of fear bubbling up inside his stomach. What if he did look bad? Would Jervis even go on the date? Jervis quickly shakes his head. "No, no, why you look magnificent!  Breathtaking even!" He exclaimed, looking up at the taller man. He nervously fiddled with his fingers. "You look perfect, Darius. Why, when I look into your eyes, I can see wonderland.... My wonderland," he said softly, his eyes filled with nothing but love, causing Darius's cheeks to fluster even more.

Jervis then snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh, we must go! We shouldn't be late for our date!" Jervis said as he rocked back and forth on his heels, worried that Darius might get upset if they were late. Jervis looked away. Until Darius reached out and took his hand, softly kissing the top of it. "Ready?" Darius asked softly, his green eyes meeting Jervis's blue ones. Jervis stared back into the taller man's eyes for a moment. "Ready!" he smiled brightly. Oh, what a rabbit hole Jervis had fallen into, but he didn't mind one bit.

Taking a moment out of my study time to share some ways to help u feel more comfortable an confident when drawing characters :>

1. Try drawing characters from memory: no one wants to draw a character wrong, but sometimes you gotta see what parts of their design really stick with you and which ones kinda fade away. When u always check a reference you may subconsciously just redo the same thing over and over, and that can make every drawing just seem like a copy paste of the original. I promise no one is going to kill you for forgetting a detail or 10 lol so just wing it every once in a while

2. Try drawing at a different size than what you normally do: something I found can help is drawing either bigger or smaller than your normal drawing size. Having to compress or enlarge proportions can actually be very enlightening as to how you draw specific things (when I draw smaller I tend to make facial features bigger, and I do the opposite when I draw bigger). You may even find that you actually LIKE drawing at a different size, so it’s good to try at least once lol

3. Purposely make characters with traits or body types you need practice drawing: speaking from experience here when I say that nothing makes you wanna better yourself more than a guy you love but can’t draw lmfao. This also goes for things you don’t even necessarily LIKE drawing. Give characters what some deem as “ugly��� features, it’s actually the best thing ever and I love it and I will fight someone over it (crooked teeth and overbites and big ears and fat all over and body hair and fucked up hairlines I am kissing it all with my mouth)

4. Draw existing characters/others characters: am I telling you to make fanart? Yes. Draw that character from your childhood cartoon, draw the dude from the comic you like, draw that pretty handsome lady oc you saw cross your dash. Even if you end up not sharing it, the practice with drawing something NOT from your own brain actually helps quite a lot with figuring things out that ARE in your brain

5. Just get fucky with it: ok so pretty much, just go ham. Draw fast and loose, draw rigid and dark. Try different line weights, make em scratchy, make em clean. Just try every possible thing you can (maybe not all at once, or do. That’s fun too LMAO) and hold nothing back. Try something you have NO practice in at all just to see how it goes. Try to add shading, try making everything flat, try adding color, try adding different filters. Worst case scenario you don’t like how it looks, best case scenario you LOVE it. I know this point is kinda vague or whatever, but really doing just whatever without rules is so fun! I didn’t like making digital color things until I fucked around and did smth I liked, and now I color things a lot more. Really truly, just try things!!

Everything You Need to Know About Dental Overbite Condition

[yoshistory]

content warning re: animal sickness and unsanitary, but since Rascal has been staying with me for a week i wanted to say things i have noted about him insofar with his health that i'll bring up to the vet tomorrow. may be interesting to read if u have been following along with me on this

Rascal is pretty itchy and has open lesions on his head from scratching so hard and often. small round dots are under his fur but do not seem to be ticks or other parasites. giving him a bath with oatmeal shampoo when he first entered my home cleaned him up but didnt stop the itching. seeing the lesions on his head is what made me even more compelled to grab him in the first place; i thought he had more serious head-trauma that needed seeing to and im thankful it seems much more like ringworm (seems very treatable fungus). Patches of hair on his backend, shoulders, and head are missing but it doesn't seem extremely advanced.

EXTREMELY friendly. Extremely polite. followed me up three flights of stairs and didnt fight me on putting him in a carrier. allowed me very painlessly to bathe him. he didnt want to be in the bath and kept getting out but did not injure me or try to claw me.

Very hungry. Eats anything and everything offered. Drinks so much more water than Olive or Hope do. Eating much more than a cat that weighs 10 pounds is supposed to eat. i understand he's likely got malnutrition and NEEDS to eat more food than average to get to a healthy weight, but i worry he will get sick if i feed him too much too quickly; advise. he is definitely not the skinniest stray i've seen but he's a bit underweight and probably food insecure

Does not chew dry food, swallows it whole and very quickly. Concerned that it is too hard for him to eat due to dental issues. may just be that he's that hungry or food insecure. Seems to have a light overbite with his fangs sticking out of his lips. teeth otherwise seem pretty white honestly somehow

Feces smell PRETTY BAD. like worse than normal. first day with me he had pale diarrhea but now has soft black stool. Eating the same dry food Olive used to; her stool was never this dark from it. worried about internal bleeding. does not seem to be any worms in his stool. litterbox trained and knew what to do. pees normally. uses the litterbox without any sign of pain or distress

Used to be much more chill about being in the bathroom but no longer likes to be by himself and will cry if he knows I'm home but not with him, sometimes for hours at a time. Purrs immediately and greets me nicely when I enter the room. Loves to be pet roughly and scratched.

Does not allow me to touch his tummy (understandable) does not allow me to touch his paws unless he's preoccupied (understandable). Simply seeing how much I can get away with and where my trust extends to this early on, and to test for pain. Will not show his tummy to me very willingly. Seems to have a small injury on the inside of a hind leg, but cannot see it better than glimpses

His front paws look to be a bit injured. Walks normally. He will get up on his hind legs and walk a bit on them if he sees I have a yummy for him and am bringing it, and will gently grasp my hand for it. He is also polydactyl which is just cute.

His mode of trying to swat me away seems to favor a quick nip if I go past initial warning body language. If offered wet food from my hand he will start chewing my fingers when the food is gone lol. He does not swat at me with his paws. He does the same thing Olive does where he will "huff" when I'm messing with him a little too far (i.e. attempting to touch tummy)

some meandering thoughts about extreme body modification, self expression, gender, and body dysmorphia

not to be long winded but I'm honestly glad I opened that world records book in middle school and saw people like Maria José Cristerna and Stalking Cat. like in this time in my life I had already been bullied pretty severely but it was getting worse and almost all of it had to do with my appearance and how it effected my value amongst my peers. Looking back i think it's confusing that was labeled as the ugly kid but I was regardless. and at home it felt like I didn't get much praise about anything aside from how thin and pretty I was and it was such a confusing time. especially when the only people outside my family who told me I was attractive were groomers. like it made me become a slave to other people's beauty standards because I wanted to be worth something to somebody. to this day all I can see are my "flaws". I have a droopy eye, I have an overbite that I have to actively think about to hide or my teeth just let it hang. thanks to my eds I have weird spine curves and my legs are all jacked, pointing in directions they're not supposed to, giving me a weird gait. I think about all this shit a lot and I feel like it's hard not to forget that despite what I was taught during formative years, this doesn't make me lesser.

I feel like every time my dysmorphia is at its worst I find comfort in doing things that are against the beauty standards that i found myself surrounded by. giving myself an "ugly" haircut. shaving my eyebrows but not drawing them back on. if I had the money I'd have every inch of my body covered in tattoos and piercings. I'd even actively change my features to look less human if I could. because I think the farther I stray from humanity the less ill have to adhere to any sort of beauty standards. and that's an extremely freeing thought, being able to either reinvent your own standard of beauty, or just have a general agency over how your body is perceived.

and that reminds me of how many people I've see with extreme body mods that happen to be trans. it's not always related, but sometimes it's like since we're always under scrutiny over our appearance, it's nice to have as much control and agency as possible. and I know for me I like the idea of being able to obscure anything that makes it so people can guess what I am or what I used to be. (again, not speaking for everyone, we all have different reasons)

every now and then I revert back to trying to fit in and garnering peoples approval, but I always end up coming back to wanting to just shed this skin and be reborn something unknown and alien. to sort of break the chains of everyone's expectations and create something new. and that's what I love about the body modding community, your body is a temple to yourself and you get to decide what to do with it.

anyway at this point I still look "normal" but I do find it extremely healing any time I do something different or subversive with my appearance, and I look forward to seeing what ideas I come up with in the future.

Invisalign 101: What Westport Patients Need to Know Before Starting Treatment

Invisalign 101: What Westport Patients Need to Know Before Starting Treatment

Straightening your teeth is a big decision, and it's not one to be made lightly. If you're considering Invisalign clear aligners to improve your smile, it's important to have a full understanding of the process, the benefits, and what to expect before you get started.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. The aligners are custom-made for each individual patient based on digital impressions of their teeth.Unlike braces, which use metal brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign in westport aligners apply gentle, constant pressure to shift teeth into the desired position over time. Patients wear a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks, gradually moving their teeth into alignment.

The Invisalign Process

If you're interested in Invisalign, the first step is to schedule a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist. They will examine your teeth and bite, take digital impressions, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.Once you're approved for Invisalign, the dentist or orthodontist will use the digital impressions to develop a customized treatment plan. This plan maps out exactly how your teeth will move at each stage of the process. You'll be able to see a 3D simulation of your predicted results before treatment even begins.Based on this plan, your custom Invisalign aligners will be manufactured. You'll receive a series of aligners that you'll wear for about 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Over the course of your treatment, you'll progress through the sets of aligners, with each new pair moving your teeth a little closer to the desired result.Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you'll have regular check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers a number of benefits over traditional braces:

Virtually Invisible One of the biggest draws of Invisalign is that the aligners are clear and practically invisible when worn. This makes Invisalign a much more discreet orthodontic option, especially for adult patients who don't want the look of metal braces.

Removable Invisalign aligners are removable, which allows you to take them out to eat, brush, and floss. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment compared to fixed braces.

More Comfortable Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, which is generally more comfortable than the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces. Many patients report less irritation and discomfort with Invisalign.

Shorter Treatment Time In many cases, Invisalign treatment takes less time than traditional braces. The average Invisalign treatment time is 12-18 months, compared to 18-36 months for braces.

Better Oral Health Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth normally, which helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease during treatment. Braces can make it more difficult to keep your teeth clean.

No Food Restrictions With Invisalign, you can continue to eat all your favorite foods because you simply remove the aligners when eating. Braces come with a long list of foods that are off-limits to avoid damage.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign can be an excellent orthodontic option for many patients, but it's not the right fit for everyone. Here are some of the key factors to consider when deciding if Invisalign is the best choice for you:

Dental Condition Invisalign is highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and more. However, for some severe or complex cases, traditional braces may be the better option.

Commitment to Wear Time Invisalign aligners need to be worn for 22 hours per day to be effective. Patients need to be diligent about keeping the aligners in their mouth as much as possible. If you know you'll have trouble remembering to wear the aligners consistently, braces may be a better choice.

Oral Hygiene Habits Since you need to remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, good oral hygiene is essential with Invisalign. Patients who are prone to cavities or gum disease may do better with the monitoring and cleaning that comes with braces.

Budget Invisalign treatment generally costs more than traditional braces. While Invisalign may be covered by dental insurance, out-of-pocket costs are often higher. Be sure to carefully consider the financial aspect of your treatment.

Age Invisalign is an effective option for both teens and adults. However, it's typically not recommended for young children who may have trouble keeping track of and consistently wearing the removable aligners.Overall, the best way to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your specific needs is to consult with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist. They can evaluate your individual situation and help you decide on the most appropriate treatment plan.

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Once you've committed to Invisalign, here's what you can expect during the course of your treatment:

Initial Consultation and Evaluation During your first visit, your dentist or orthodontist will thoroughly examine your teeth and take digital impressions, X-rays, and photos. They'll use this information to develop your personalized Invisalign treatment plan.

Receive Your First Set of Aligners After your treatment plan is finalized, your custom Invisalign aligners will be created. When they're ready, you'll receive your first set of aligners and instructions on how to wear and care for them.

Wear Your Aligners Consistently You'll need to wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Consistency is key for your treatment to be effective.

Attend Regular Check-Ups Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you'll have scheduled check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist every 4-6 weeks. They'll monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and provide you with your next sets of aligners.

Continue Good Oral Hygiene Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential during Invisalign treatment. Be sure to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly after every meal before putting your aligners back in.

Possible Discomfort You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when first starting a new set of aligners, but this should subside within a day or two as your teeth adjust.

Wear Retainers After Treatment Once your Invisalign treatment is complete and your teeth are in their final position, you'll need to wear a retainer to keep your smile in place. Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first several months, then transitioning to nighttime wear.

Conclusion

Invisalign is a highly effective and patient-friendly orthodontic option that can deliver excellent results for a wide range of dental alignment issues. By understanding the Invisalign process, the benefits, and what to expect, Westport patients can make an informed decision about whether this treatment is the right choice for achieving their dream smile.

Invisalign Braces: Your confident smile starts here

Invisalign has become increasingly popular as a modern approach to teeth straightening. Unlike metal braces, These aligners are transparent, making them much less noticeable than braces, and they don’t require any major lifestyle or dietary changes. One of the benefits of Invisalign is its comfort; it doesn’t involve the discomfort of tightening or frequent adjustments typically associated with traditional braces. In addition to closing gaps between teeth, Invisalign can effectively address a range of dental issues such as overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and overcrowded teeth.

Advantages of Invisalign Braces

Invisalign braces are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for orthodontic treatment. Here are some advantages of Invisalign braces:

● Aesthetics and Discreteness: One thing that really stands out about Invisalign braces is how great they look. These braces are made of clear plastic aligners that are practically invisible, which means you can wear them without worrying about people noticing. It’s a fantastic choice for those who prefer to keep their orthodontic treatment low-key and don’t want to draw too much attention to it.

● Comfort and Convenience: Invisalign braces are made with smooth and flexible materials, which adds an extra level of comfort compared to the traditional metal braces. They do away with the bothersome issues like irritation or abrasions that can occur with metal brackets and wires. Furthermore, since Invisalign braces don’t have any metal components, you won’t have to go through any painful adjustments during your routine orthodontic visits, making the whole experience more comfortable for you.

● Removability and Oral Hygiene: Invisalign braces have the advantage of being removable, which makes it much simpler to keep up with proper oral hygiene while undergoing treatment. You can continue brushing and flossing your teeth as you normally would, without having to relearn how to clean your teeth due to the presence of new structures around your mouth. Additionally, you have the freedom to take out the aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water, so you don’t have to worry about dietary restrictions.

● Shorter Treatment Duration Compared to Traditional Braces: Invisalign braces are actually known to work faster compared to traditional braces. Many patients have reported seeing noticeable results in as little as six months, which is significantly shorter than the average duration of 18 months for traditional braces. It’s important to note that the actual treatment time can differ based on the severity of each individual case.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign braces are a versatile and discreet treatment option for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. They can fix misalignments, bite problems, and straighten crooked or crowded teeth. They are more pleasing to the eye than traditional metal braces and are made from flexible, comfortable materials without sharp edges. Invisalign braces are easy to clean and remove, making them a comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. However, don’t forget to choose Best Dental Clinic in HSR Layout, Bangalore, the right treatment for your specific situation.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

● Comparison of Treatment Duration: Typically, it takes around 12-18 months for Invisalign treatment to achieve the desired results. On the other hand, if you opt for traditional braces, it usually takes at least 12-18 months to align your teeth properly. Keep in mind that the precise duration will vary based on your specific treatment needs and requirements.

● Aesthetics and Visibility: Invisalign aligners are amazing because they’re practically invisible when you wear them. That’s why so many people love them—they offer a discreet treatment option that’s perfect for those who prefer a low-key approach. In contrast, traditional braces are made up of metal wires and brackets that really stand out, even from far away.

● Impact on Eating and Oral Hygiene: When using Invisalign, you can stick to your regular brushing and flossing routines without any major changes. The only difference is that you’ll need to do them more often to avoid the accumulation of bacteria and food particles on both your teeth and aligners. In contrast, if you neglect proper oral hygiene while wearing braces, it can lead to various issues like unpleasant breath, the formation of tartar, gum inflammation, and mineral loss from your teeth.

● Comfort and Pain Management: Traditional braces tend to be a bit more painful and uncomfortable during the initial weeks of treatment, whereas Invisalign aligners provide a greater level of comfort. Nonetheless, it’s important to note that any dental appliance has the potential to induce some degree of discomfort and pain. With time, though, it’s possible for individuals to adapt and get used to both types of appliances.

Invisalign and traditional braces are effective orthodontic treatments for straightening teeth, resulting in a healthier smile. The choice depends on individual needs and preferences.
