As an american, I'm only on my second election but I'm already exhausted at the "lesser of two evils" paradigm that US politics has.
I blame the First past the post voting that all states, except, really, maine which has Instant Runoff voting. Technically other states have also "not FPTP" voting but it's basically the same. where only the top two duke it out in runoff.
in truth IRV (instant runoff) doesn't solve the two-party rule issue. George Washington was right and I'll quote his farewell address:
" However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. "for further reading, the whole entire paragraph from which this quote was lifted from is even more damning.
https://founders.archives.gov/…to,to%20unjust%20dominion.
It should be noted, paragraphs before and after that one also speaks at length of the dangers of any sort of political grouping, outside what is officially recognized in delegation to the government. -
The ortho explained to me that teeth have genetically determined "resting spots"
Early on to the "braces" industry, people thought the teeth would stay where they were moved, but teeth will eventually migrate back to where they were.
If the change in the tooth position is not too big, it can be kept in line with the retainer.
I'm unsure of what other factors might be affecting it,
I got braces, ditched the retainer, and by the end of my high school years It's back to where it was.
I will point this out: Teeth that are migrating will feel loose. This is because teeth need time to "settle in". Its really worrying in the moment, but if you get confirmation from the dentist that nothing else is affecting it, I think your retainer should help keep it in line.
---------------------Speculating at this point -----------------I've definitely studied this in high school and there's plenty of websites that say this, but this is not something I know for sure:
The body adapts to its environment, and with studies into dental health have shown that, especially when comparing diets of indigenous vs industrialized people, hard foods of indigenous diets tend to contribute to stronger gums and stronger teeth simply because the body adapts over time to meet that demand. Imagine it like building through exercise and losing muscle by sitting around. A similar thing happens for bone density as well; astronauts in space tend to have fragile bones coming back because zero gravity had reduced the demand for bone strength.If you do try to eat harder foods, GO SLOW! The body does adapt but it does so slowly. Nuts, whole apples, jerky, etc, but in order of soft to hard. Please be sensible; wish that my advice doesn't bring harm.
(mandatory try this at your own risk disclaimer)Edit: I will chime in as well: I am not a medical professional or claim to be in any way meaningfully knowledgeable. What I share are personal experience and personal knowledge. Do not take my advice as medical advice
but I want to warn you not to take medical advice from anyone here.
just like Ves said, please do NOT take any medical advice except from your doctor.
