Phase 1 Begins

[lunabee34]

1. Of Fiona's orthodontia, that is. Y'all the orthodontist is like sick bay, now. I kept expecting Dr. Crusher to pop out from behind an X-Ray machine with a tricorder. Even in just the few years since Emma had braces, the tech upgrades are massive. At one point, the tech ran a wand over all of Fi's teeth and created a 3-D computer model of her mouth.

Phase 1 is fixing her poor little jaw. She's got an overbite (her Hapsburg chin LOL). But headgear is now internal, hurray!, so she'll get these metal things on her four back teeth. It'll look like two hinges when she opens her mouth really wide but will otherwise not be visible. That will be combined with Invisalign and last for 20 months. Then she'll get a break and then Phase 2, the fixing of the teeth (tiny mouth, much crookedness) will commence, also with Invisalign, provided she does okay with that in Phase 1.

2. executrix sent me a pulp lesbian novel in the latest parcel of books, The Flesh Surrenders. I've never read a pulp novel before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was like someone put every kinky trope in a blender and then threw the contents up on the ceiling and stomped around in the drippings. There's age gap, quasi-incest, quasi-BDSM, exhibitionism, voyeurism, infidelity, cruelty, pain play, rape, but she was het after all, and like a thousand other things. While googling the title of the book, I found it referenced in an academic work and the author referred to as he, and yep, that tracks. LOL

I am extremely amused by your description of the pulp novel.

It was a wild ride. :)

Good luck to Fiona!

I think she will do okay. She has done fine with all the dental work she's had to do: having teeth pulled, those fillings she had years ago. I think she'll be okay. *crosses fingers*

About Dentistry

I'm finding that the dental chair room is becoming more and more "starship sickbay"-like by the year. And my last few filling repairs and replacements in this past half-decade have been safely done without anaesthetic. Whether that's because of tech or my finances or both...?

That is amazing! What they can do now compared to what they could do when we were kids is astonishing. I mean, what they can do now compared to the 10.5 years between my kids is kind of astonishing.

Good luck to Fiona! Hope she handles all the crap in her mouth okay.

[lunabee34]

Thank you! <3 <3

[amejisuto]

You're welcome, both of you!

[musyc]

Oh, poor child. But I'm glad that she can have all that, get ahead of problems. And I am highly amused by the image of "hinges" in the back of the mouth. Makes me think of cartoons XD

[lunabee34]

We are very lucky to be in a place where we can do this for her; I know a lot of people aren't.

It really does look exactly like hinges. LOL

I hope Fiona's treatment goes well! ♥

Ah, the classic gay and lesbian pulps which only have two options when it comes to the ending. Either, rocks fall, everybody dies OR they were het in the end.

[lunabee34]

Thank you!

I'd never read any before, so I did not know those were the ending options, but it makes sense.

[corvidology]

It was their way of dealings with the censors. Very salacious but it's okay because they come to bad endings/their senses.

Yes, my eyes are rolling out of my head.

[lunabee34]

I see. My eyes will roll down there with yours. LOL

OMG I can't believe little Fiona is old enough for braces

[lunabee34]

INORITE?

Neither can my pocketbook. LOL

[spikedluv]

Good luck to Fiona!
