Ugh, orthodontic threaders were the bane of my existence too. I ended up switching to those floss picks made specifically for braces—way easier and less frustrating. Honestly, clear aligners seem pricey for just minor tweaks... Has anyone found cheaper options that actually worked? I'm tempted to just live with slightly crooked teeth rather than spend another chunk of cash on dental stuff.
I totally get hesitating on clear aligners—they're pricey for sure. I looked into some of those cheaper at-home aligner kits, but honestly, the mixed reviews made me nervous about messing up my bite or something. Ended up just accepting my slightly crooked bottom teeth... figured no one notices but me anyway. Curious though, has anyone actually tried those DIY aligner services and had decent results?
"figured no one notices but me anyway."
Haha, totally relate to this! I obsessed over my slightly crooked front tooth for years, finally tried one of those DIY aligner kits. Honestly, results were decent—not perfect—but it eased my mind a bit. Still, everyone's experience varies...
I've been considering those DIY aligners too but honestly, I'm a bit hesitant about messing with my teeth on my own... Did you have any discomfort or issues along the way? I'm worried I'd end up making things worse somehow, haha. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but hearing mixed reviews online doesn't exactly ease my anxiety.
I totally get your hesitation... I looked into DIY aligners myself a while back but chickened out after reading some horror stories online. Honestly, teeth aren't something I'd wanna gamble with—maybe better to chat with a dentist first just to ease your mind?
