Invisa…what?

Posted by Sammy on Aug 3rd, 2010 | no comments

For about 10 years now I’ve been hating my teeth, mainly my lower teeth. As a kid I had the infamous metal braces and my teeth looked fan-freaking-tastic too, up until my dreaded wisdom teeth decided to come in. I had 3 wisdom teeth that came in, one was missing, yay me! Well the two bottom ones came in impacted and pushed all of my beautifully aligned teeth together. No one notices it but me, but I HATE it!

Back in the day, when we still lived in Tallahassee Gary insisted that I go to an orthodontist to get it looked at since I hate it so much. This was around the time we got engaged, so about 7 years ago. The doc I saw tried to put me into traditional braces or at least retainers but couldn’t guarantee it would work with retainers alone. He gave me a price and I just wasn’t ready enough to bite the bullet.

Fast forward to a little over a year ago. I was at my dentist for my normal cleaning and they mentioned invisalign. Apparently my dentist was just starting out to offer them. He took impressions and even gave me a rough quote. Gary was about to start chemo and I just didn’t feel like the timing was right, so once again I put my teeth on the back burner. Fast forward again to a few months ago. Once again I was at my dentist for my cleaning and I asked about invisalign. I went through and did the impressions again, but this time I was ready! A few weeks later I got a quote and ok’d it with my dentist. And then a few weeks after that I got my kit.

I need a total of 7 trays for the top teeth and 15 for my bottoms, and each tray lasts 2 full weeks. I’m on my 2nd tray set right now and overall its not too horribly bad. I do have some discomfort as soon as I switch trays but that is to be expected. I mean it *is* moving my teeth….or at least I hope. I am experiencing some “symptoms” that I think are tied to the invisalign but I won’t really know for sure until it happens again. Basically as soon as I put a new set of trays in for the first couple of days I get a sore throat. Then as soon as that subsides I get conjunctivitis….aka pink eye. I got pink eye 2 weeks ago and got antibiotic eye drops but for it to happen almost exactly 2 weeks later, its a tad suspicious. Especially since I have a toddler that is all up in my face and he has yet to get whatever I have. So this time I have allergic conjunctivitis in both of my eyes. I have allergy eye drops to use to help the situation. If this happens again in 2 weeks then I’ll know that I’m allergic to something in my invisalign. I really really really hope that this isn’t the case.

More sleazy people wanting my house

As I had promised on another post, whenever I get a sleazy letter from some “realtor” that wants to either help me sell my house or now someone who wants to flat out buy my house for cash I plan on posting the details on my blog for the entire world to see.

Well the latest addition to the sleazy-ball list is a person named Ervin Mendel from MisterPM. He was nice enough to offer his condolences and told me that he knows first-hand that it is never easy losing someone we hold dear. Hmmmmmm unless you’ve lost a SPOUSE I don’t think you get it Mr. Mendel! I have lost loved ones in the past but this pain is nothing like those. To know that my son who is only 2.5 has to grow up without his daddy, that HURTS.

So Mr. Mendel wants to help me. Wow how nice! He wants to buy my house paying in cash and wants to close quickly. Wow how generous of him. I’m kidding of course!!!

So just in case anyone wants to sell their house fast for cash feel free to contact Mr. Mendel because he really sounds like a reputable guy to be going after widows instead of getting his business the legit way.

Oops can’t forget his contact info….

You can reach him by email at info@misterpm.com or by his private cell phone 786-553-7332. Oh and if you can’t reach Ervin you can reach his business partner Sam at 786-546-1415

Sounds like these guys really know what they are doing! Oh how I hate sleaze-balls like these!
