I’ve actually tried those ortho comfort strips—picked them up on a whim after getting tired of wax melting away mid-meal. They’re a bit trickier to ge...
I totally get what you mean—it’s such a weird, unsettling sensation. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I remember this odd ear pressure and clicking eve...
I totally get the frustration—been there with my own “floss battles” (tight teeth club here). I actually tried a PLA floss and, weirdly, it still shre...
