Eating with Invisalign: Dos and Don'ts for Your Clear Aligners
Eating with Invisalign:We know that embarking on the journey of teeth straightening with Invisalign is an exciting and transformative experience. However, it comes with certain responsibilities, particularly when it comes to eating. Your customized clear teeth aligners are designed to discreetly and comfortably guide your teeth into their desired positions. To ensure the best results, it's essential to follow some dos and don'ts when eating with Invisalign.

The Dos of Eating with Invisalign
1. Remove Your Aligners Before Eating
One of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is its removability. Before enjoying any meal or snack, it's crucial to remove your aligners. This prevents food particles from getting trapped between your aligners and teeth, which could lead to dental issues or staining.
2. Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene
After you've enjoyed your meal, it's essential to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before reinserting your aligners. This practice helps maintain optimal oral hygiene, prevents plaque buildup, and ensures your aligners stay clear and invisible.
3. Stay Hydrated with Water
Drinking water throughout the day not only keeps you hydrated but also helps flush away any lingering food particles. It's perfectly fine to drink water while wearing your aligners, as it won't cause staining or damage.
4. Opt for Soft, Invisalign-Friendly Foods
Choosing the right foods can make your Invisalign journey more comfortable. Soft foods that don't require excessive chewing are your best bet. Think yogurt, mashed potatoes, soups, and smoothies. These options minimize the risk of damaging your aligners.
The Don'ts of Eating with Invisalign
1. Don't Eat with Aligners In
Eating with your aligners in place is a big no-no. Doing so can not only damage your aligners but also trap food particles, leading to hygiene issues and unpleasant odors. Always take them out before eating.
2. Avoid Staining Beverages
While it's okay to drink water with your aligners in, avoid beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sodas. These can stain both your aligners and teeth, compromising their discreet appearance.
3. Say No to Sticky or Hard Foods
Sticky and hard foods can damage your aligners and slow down your teeth-straightening progress. Steer clear of items like caramel, taffy, popcorn, and hard candies. Opt for softer alternatives instead.
4. Don't Rush Your Meals
Eating slowly and mindfully can help prevent accidentally biting into something hard or causing damage to your aligners. Taking your time while eating is not only beneficial for your aligners but also aids digestion.

Invisible Aligners in London - StarSmiles
In recent years, invisible aligners have revolutionized the way people think about orthodontic treatment. These clear plastic trays have become a popular alternative to traditional metal braces, as they are less noticeable and often more comfortable. In London, one company that has gained a reputation for providing high-quality invisible aligners is Starsmiles.
Starsmiles is a London-based company that offers clear aligners to help straighten teeth. Their aligners are made from a patented, high-quality plastic material that is BPA-free and designed to be durable and comfortable. The aligners are custom-made for each patient, and are designed to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions.
One of the biggest advantages of Starsmiles' invisible aligners is their nearly-invisible appearance. Because they are made from clear plastic, they are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This makes them an ideal option for anyone who is self-conscious about their appearance, particularly adults who may feel embarrassed about wearing braces.
Another advantage of Starsmiles' aligners is their convenience. Unlike traditional braces, they are removable, meaning that patients can take them out when they eat or brush their teeth. This makes them much easier to care for than braces, which can be difficult to clean around.
The process of getting aligners from Starsmiles is also relatively simple. Patients start by taking an impression of their teeth using a home impression kit provided by the company. The impressions are then used to create a 3D model of the patient's teeth, which is used to design the custom aligners. Once the aligners are ready, they are shipped directly to the patient's home, and treatment can begin.
Overall, Starsmiles is a great option for anyone looking for high-quality invisible aligners in London. Their custom-made aligners are comfortable, convenient, and nearly invisible, making them a great option for anyone who wants to straighten their teeth without traditional braces. Whether you are an adult looking to improve your appearance, or a teenager who wants a less noticeable option, Starsmiles is definitely worth considering.

oh captain my captain i didn't know what league of legends game was when i watched arcane. so i thought the plot was alright since i didn't (still don't) know the game lore. if it wasn't basically a prequel story, trying to aim the characters at the way they are in canon, do u think the plot and character arcs would have held up alright? or does that actually make the arcane canon story worse since it wouldn't at least have the existing canon as something it needed to land at eventually as an excuse for any "out of character" decisions? thank u
i wouldnt even call it a prequel story? its like a very elaborate au in a sense, one that feels comfortable changing things to a certain extent- clothes, personality adjustments, motivations, but they still have to hit certain beats. vi has to be an enforcer, jinx has to be a wild card harley quinn type, ekkos time powers ect ect. idk WHAT it is maybe the show needed more time or tighter focus or less characters but i just felt that like, some of the story decisions directly relating to LoL lore werent outright bad but didnt have a lot of time to breathe. the standout example being ekkos time thing, where when i watched that scene i assumed it was both a stylistic representation of a fight and establishing his and jinx's prior relationship (which is kind of too little too late considering they did not fucking speak once as kids pre time skip), and then i had to get a friend to explain to me for SEVERAL MINUTES that he literally died during that fight and it was supposed to be showing his rewind thing. it just wasnt clear at all and his character would not change in the slightest if he didnt have it. but you cant NOT include it so. *
really i have no clue the full extent of the story the writers wanted to tell and how much LoL is binding their hands on story beats. and i REALLY dont want to be inflexible considering i still have a full season coming up that might make me more receptive to certain decisions. but considering how much of the cast i REALLY like just straight up are not in the game, i think they are fully capable of making a solid story completely divorced from league
*someone in the comments told me apparently that Wasnt his time thing and my original read of the scene was correct so im not gonna hold it against the show.
#basically anytime i was like huh thats weird#my friend would lean over and go thats league shit#and then i just kind of sit there. Huh#asks#Anonymous#obviously its a massive step up from league both aesthetics wise and like. as a cohesive narrative#i hate you vi undercut/dreadlocks you are so nasty#but i read like this short except drabble from her bio on the website and. look im sorry#i kind of like that she fucking sucks#it gives her a direction at least#like theyre trying to align arcane violet with the choices of a version of her that seems completely antithetical#but again i cant even get that deep into it we dont know how long her fucking enforcer phase will last!#a month? a year? who knows! we dont even know if she likes it#and LoL vi clearly revels in that kind of violence#idk something about her shittiness made her more engaging#whatever i hope in season two she loses so many fights its important to me actually#like its insane this is going to sound so fucking mean but i like her less bc she wins so goddamn much#i compare her to like. gideon nav obviously but also the protagonist of monkey man#and both of those things kind of emphasize those characters losing Hard. chapter 2 of gtn is her getting her ass beat#it just makes the wins later more satisfying#but idk maybe its supposed to be balanced by her emotional losses but the story feels so. removed from it?#spent like 7 years in prison we see none of it she comes out of there like she wasnt incarcerated in an adult facility since age 15#and now a girl she spent at the LONGEST a week with but probably closer tk 2-3 days is the same level of emotional import as her sister#SHAKING the writers i am not SOLD why is she LIKE THIS#cough. anyway

Glad to hear that after three-ish months, your antisemitism still has not changed. "boycott until bds says otherwise" y'all CANNOT think for yourselves and it's so fucking funny. Especially since marvel is antisemitic, one would think that the pro-palis would align themselves with marvel. Boycotting a movie because it features an israel superhero (who literally isn't even israeli anymore) is just antisemitism. LOL.
Me: Hey, there's an Israeli "superhero" who is a known agent of the Mossad and quite literally does not see Palestinians as human. It took a dead child for her to start thinking "oh... they have emotions, too?" Given how harmful she is to the depiction of Middle Easterners, Palestinians especially, it is in everyone's best interest to boycott the movie that she will be in so that Marvel can listen to us and start giving us better representation
You: OMG ANTISEMITISM!!!!!!

people do this thing with body hair where they either pretend to tolerate it but will say things like " i think is soooo brave that you dont shave ☺️✊ me? oh, no i couldn't do it i think its disgusting 😬 i just could never leave the house like that 😣🤢 " but bc its not acceptable to say it outright they say "it's a preference" or they treat it like it's this big revolutionary thing where at most for me its neutral bc the reality is im lazy and i just dont feel like it

Socmed discussions about Saltburn, to me —
1) reveal that people are even more squeamish about explicit gay sexuality than they think they are
(And if this is what passes for shocking erotic excess, then we, in the anglosphere, are in a more — not making a comment about individuals here — restrained moment with mainstream American/British adult cinema than we were with mainstream adult heterosexual cinema in the 90s, eg the erotic thriller)
And
2) suggest people are increasingly making art that is in conversation with, if not explicitly nostalgic for, the 2010-16 Tumblr-era.
(I really truly suspect Saltburn is, in part, an adaptation of the tropes and aesthetics that were in certain “The Social Network” fan spaces.)
#Saltburn is a period piece of this very specific very Anglophile tumblr moment#that specifically was obsessed with poshness and the upper class (usually more or less aristocratic) of the UK#much of the tumblr cultural backlash to that moment (eg the British accent jokes now; the food jokes)#is just USAmericans getting embarrassed over having prostrated themselves at the uncaring altar of British old money#and in response to that embarrassment these USAmericans I guess just started shitting on poor British class signifiers (eg usually a lot of#the mockery is about northerners esp northern women)#which is really just a continuation of tasteless American passes at being ‘above’ the poor brits they’re mocking to align with the landed#and titled of the UK#which lol they hate you just like they hate the poor British!! silly silly silly attempt to appear worldly#and to be clear my comments are about a specific kind of American-Brit beef between white tumblr users#and none of the conversation is meaningfully about British colonialism or American cultural or literal imperialism#or even about anglocenticism in general#j realize this a lot to write about something that can be boiled down to : specious and inane comments r being made by the stupidest of the#site from the imperial core of the world#and it’s usually between users who have no fucking business making class jokes#because critically the experiences they’re mocking are so removed from any struggle for survival they’ve had — on both the USA and UK side

*thinks about how I need to clear out my clothes so I can properly sort my new ones and take care of those I won't wear anymore*
*realizes Halloween is coming up and I have that whole week off*
*realizes I've got a lot of mix and match pieces I can put together for costumes*
I wonder if I can dress myself up as an avatar for each of the 15 Fears in The Magnus Archives...

I read seven (7) books in July! How exciting! And four of them were on my goals list for the month! Still didn't get to The Unconquered City, but I'll just throw that into August goals. I didn't feel great this month, so I spent a lot of down time reading. Forced bed rest does wonders for your reading habits haha
I also played a couple of fun games! A Little to the Left is a fun puzzle game where you organize things in various ways and sometimes a cat comes and ruins your day. There's also a level where you just pet the cat. Very fun, very calming, 10/10, do recommend. Superliminal is another puzzle game that was WEIRD and definitely did not made me cry a bit. Also fun, but would not recommend it if you get dizzy easily.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reread, but I enjoyed it even more the second time around! I appreciated Denna more now that I wasn't suspicious of her haha
Is Love the Answer? by Uta Isaki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, spoke to me, a delightful little standalone graphic novel, love that asexual rep
TAZ: The Eleventh Hour by The McElroys and Carey Pietsch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my favorite TAZ arc and they adapted it in such a clever way! Love how they did the many death loops!
In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune ⭐⭐ not my favorite of Klunes novels, I wasn't invested in any of the characters, and the dialogue did not do it for me
A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh gosh, for a book I was on the fence about reading, I'm so glad I read this. What an emotional ride, I've already got book three on my desk.
Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ow. lol. This is what Black Wings Beating should have been. A perfect little chunk of a novella.
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros ⭐⭐This was not a fantasy with romantic elements, this was a romance with fantasy elements, which is Fine, but not my thing. It did not need to be as long as it was, and YET. Also. Give me more dragons.
If all goes right for August I will also be on best rest for a bit but for Good Reasons, and will finally read The Unconquered City after all this time. My friend lent my Iron Widow too so I'm excited to jump into that! I took a couple books out of the library, and while I don't know if I'll make it to book club, we're reading Tress of the Emerald Sea by Snunderson so. Guess I'll read that too lol I'm putting good energy into August, life has got to turn around at some point and I am making it NOW.

i really like the design of xpider jean's suit in some ways...i think its fun. i know the mask is a reference to her marvel girl mask but combined with the spider-man eyes it also looks very wolverine to me...which is maybe fun as a design/story-telling detail. i also like scott's design in a lot of ways, especially the visor/mask. anyway the point is i am stymied in drawing those versions of the characters by having exactly 0 ideas about how to make scott and jean into characters who fit into spider-man stories.

I'm hardly uncritical of Aragorn or his hereditary claim to the Gondorian throne, but I do think the occasional focus on how he only has a tiny fraction of Elvish blood or Elendil's/Elros's blood is ill-placed.
I mean, for one, counting generations in a single line of descent with someone as inbred as Aragorn doesn't make sense anyway.
But more importantly, it's one thing to point out how much time has passed between Isildur's time in Gondor and LOTR, or even Fíriel's time and Aragorn's. It has been a very long time, and that's part of what makes the challenge so steep for him (it'd be less interesting if he could just waltz into Gondor and be instantly acclaimed at any moment). But when it gets down to "and how many portions of X blood does he have, anyway," it's just ... ugh. Let's not.
