Unexpected wrapping problem!

#1 Post by Sandpiper »

I have just found out, whilst attempting to wrap Christmas presents, that I can't rip the sticky tape with my teeth anymore.....as they simply don't meet! Curses....where are the scissors?? Don't say I'll have to make a neat job of wrapping this year?!! I also can't bite my nails, but that's a good thing, right?

I had a problem with using my teeth the other day too. I got some samples of the Dove shampoo and conditioner. While in the shower i went to open the shampoo and realized that i couldn't just rip it open, i actually had the thing all the way to my mouth before i realized i couldn't use my teeth. It was soooo frustrating. :crazy:

Oh, that's pretty funny! I can't bite my hangnails off any more. Also, getting comfy on the couch one night, I got fuzz from my afghan in my braces when I went to fling it up over my shoulders and it dragged across my teeth.

I've also gotten scarf/blanket fuzz in braces. Not the cutest look. Haha

Having invisalign, all those things are completely impossible for me. I've taken up the slightely dangerous habit of using a craft knife to cut off annoying parts of my finger nails! Even after 5 months I still raise my fingers towards my mouth to bite my nails, its only when I try to bite down and nothing happens that I realise!
