Told I need TADs.

I'm about a year into my braces and just had an appointment last week with my orthodontist. I've had 4 premolars extracted and I've had powerchains to close the gaps since December (I think?).

While the front teeth were supposed to be pulled back like they successfully did in April, this month instead of the front teeth my molars had shifted forward instead. I was then given the option of TADs.

How was your experience with it? Did they hurt? How was eating and brushing teeth and so on..?

I'm here cus my orthodontist also asked me to look online to get myself more comfortable and familiar with it all. I told him I'd be fine with having them next month since I'm having exams rn 😓

Bite blockers fell off around two hour of getting them

Returned from the orthodontist a while ago and just now, the ones placed on my upper teeth came off. Is it a problem? I still have a lower one though.

Is this plan okay?

Hi! I am turning 17 this year in October and I'm really concerned for my education since I'm homeschooled and lacking knowledge for my future. Last year, I've taken Malay IGCSE, English olevel and mathematics 0580. This may/June, Im taking ICT, physics and addmaths.

My father said 8 is the minimum for scholarships in the universities in my country and I'm planning to take chem and bio this Oct/Nov. However, I wanna take alevels by next year.

Any tips or changes I should make in my plans? I just got suddenly super concerned cus my science teacher thought this month was our last month meeting and he made me think it would be too late for me to complete my igcse's during Oct/Nov..

Tysm friends I loce you all
