Grateful to be able to give back to people at work!

I work in corporate so my job isn’t fullfilling on its own but i’ve realised lately i find fulfilment in my ability to give back to my team i manage. Im grateful for the ability to make their life a bit easier by approving time off when someone’s sick without them having to use sick days which pay worse anyway, extra time off if i notice someone having to stay overtime or if they need to be somewhere like at 7 when we work 10-7. We already spend so much time and energy on work so i’m grateful i can make 5 girls' life a bit easier by taking some of the mental load off of them like that. They don’t abuse it and are grateful in return and we generally have a wonderful relationship even hanging out outside of work occasionally. Truly be kind and it will pay back to you :)

Did you manage to actually align dental midline with the facial midline?

My dental midline is noticeably off and i can’t figure out whether it’s worth trying to fix or not. My ortho told me she can align my upper and lower midlines fairly easily, which is what we’re currently doing, but that centering dental midline with my face would require atleast 1-2 more TADs and basically shifting my entire mouth to the side.

If your midline was off did you get it corrected? If not, do you wish you’d done it or are you satisfied with your smile?

P.S. i’m still a long way from debracing so my overall smile will improve, it’s just the midline im concerned with

Just a girl and public speaking

Part of my corporate job is some kind of public speaking from time to time, and although I’ve done a fair number of presentations, I still without fail shit my pants every single time, figuratively speaking. Today I did a training for a fairly large group which included company leaders, and although I’m still not that great at presenting, I'm really glad to feel like I’ve improved — both at the quality of my presentation and the pants-shitting part.

Getting a TAD tomorrow and terrified, please share your positive experiences 😭

I’m getting a TAD like the pic and getting my upper wisdom tooth extracted at the same appointment tomorrow and i can’t sleep bc im shitting my pants lol. I’ve had terrible luck with extracting my lower wisdom teeth before (very long and painful process and dry socket to top it off) so i’m wary of invasive dental procedures. My ortho ofc told me it will take 5 minutes and i won’t feel a thing but who am i to trust her right?

Does anyone have a positive experience with TADs to share and stop me from spiralling?
