Tiny Things That Annoy You • Page 449

My electric toothbrush gives me a smiley face if I brushed my teeth for at least 2 minutes, but will give a half smile at 1:59 and not even show anything if I brush for 3-4 minutes. Give me the fucking smiley face I earned Oral-B!!

 

Oral B doesn't smile for overbrushing that's on you homie. 2mins get it done.

 

My oral b toothbrush doesn’t have a smile function.

 

Yes it does. please brush properly

 

Not my model. I don’t have the io series . I do brush properly. I educate others on brushing and flossing.

 

Oh y'all got rich people toothbrushes huh

 

The rich people toothbrush is the io series. I didn’t buy one of the longest time because I’m that not rich. Even the 360 series is expensive (co worker and I split the cost bc the Costco one comes with 2). Brush heads are expensive af too. And I change my brush head every 3 months. Also you’re suppose to change your brush after you’ve been sick

 

Love my sonicare, I've been using one since high school

 

I cashed in my points at Ulta for my toothbrush lol Bless Ulta and their reward system! I always use them for things I’m either too cheap to buy or too poor to afford on my own.

 

Whispering

 

Aaron if times are tough you can post a video of yourself brushing and we will post smilies if you did a good job.

 

I don't skimp on toothbrushes out of fear of my parents kicking my ass for wasting the $5k+ they dropped on my braces like 20 years ago

 

My teeth have shifted soo much since I had braces and a pallet expander. Oh well

 

Fuckin' pallet expander. A literal torture device for children.

 

It was brutal. And being a kid, it ripped out one of my fucking baby teeth when they took it out

And then when I got it and my braces off, they decided it wasn't quite right and gave me a retainer that also had an expander in it to turn with a key

 

yikes

 

Some of my teeth shifted too and it pisses me off.

 

I hated my pallet expander but it actually allowed me to breathe and I am forever thankful for it.

 

It really is annoying heh. I'm like really paranoid about it and am always like.. testing my bite to check if it still feels like the same teeth are still able to bite down on each other the same way they have been? Idk. Weird subconscious habit at this point

 

Even more annoying though is the fact that I've developed some minor form of TMJ and my jaw is constantly popping out slightly

 

Yeah I keep thinking they’re shifting more but I don’t think they actually are. I also had to wear headgear at home for like 6 months and the dude said I was maybe going to have to wear it to school and I told him there is no fucking way that’s happening.

 

Is this you?

 

not purple enough

 

dont worry they can tighten it

 

You originally had a fixed expander that’s cemented in. used in cases where they start expansion at the time of bracketing. I hate them because they get in the way of X-rays. The second one you had is a removable expander (so it sounds) and it’s it does look like a retainer and can be used as one after treatment
