Hot and humid

We got lots of rain yesterday, I hid my flower containers away so they wouldn't get soaked. I've lost so many flowers to root rot, because it would constantly rain with no sun in between. They were in the rain the night before, hopefully the sun will come out today and dry them out.

Last week I started an Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth a little over a week ago. I've been thinking about it for two years, ever since I notice that my front tooth which had been straight all my life was all of a sudden sticking out. Although that it seemed that my tooth moved overnight, the dentist said that teeth move over the years and that all of a sudden it looks like a tooth has moved but in actual fact it's been moving bit by bit and then one day you look in the mirror and notice that it's crooked.

The Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable trays that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed. This is my first set, I wear them all the time day and night, I take them out only to eat.

The dentist said that they will become part of me and when I don't have them on I will feel like something is missing, hope that day comes soon.

Hi Claudia,

I have heard of Invisalign. Much, much better than braces or spacers. Brian has a mouth full of spacers. It didn't take him long to get used to the spacers.

I hope your day is sunny and pleasant.

Hugs,

Hi Claudia;

I too heard of Invisalign. Sounds like a good way to go to straighten teeth. I have never been able to put any kind of braces, etc. in my mouth as I'm what they call a gagger. I gag with any foreign thing in my mouth even the dentist's hands. LOL!

We've had storms and rain predicted every day here but not enough to cause root rot in plants thank goodness.

Have a lovely day my friend. Hugs
