I am a former patient myself who recommended Dr. Steven Tottori in a previous post here. I am in my late 30's.
I completed my orthodontic treatment with Incognito, which is the only backside braces that Dr. Tottori does on Oahu, and I am very happy with it.
I initially went for a consultation with the hope of getting Invisalign braces, but Dr. Tottori diagnosed that it was not indicated in my case. I cannot answer your question about Invisalign, but I would like to make a few comments after reading your posts.

・ "Invisalign even though I am over 40s"
You seem to think that Invisalign is not appropriate if you are over 40s. If so, you should tell your doctor so and ask him why he recommends Invisalign instead of other orthodontic appliances. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term process, and if there is any doubt or distrust, there will be a fear that you will not be satisfied with the final result.
After completing my orthodontic treatment, I felt that it is very important to have not only the skill of the doctor but also the "personal relationship" and "compatibility with oneself" because unlike general treatment, it is a long term treatment anyway. In my case, I was very satisfied because I had a great rapport with both Dr. Tottori and his staff.

・ Competitive quotes
If you have any doubts about Dr. Tottori's policy, why don't you apply for a consultation at another doctor's office as well and ask about other doctors' treatment plans?
I had consultations with four different doctors before finally deciding on Dr. Tottori. It was good to hear the diagnosis of different doctors so that I could understand my teeth alignment problem and how well I fit in with the doctor.
I told him that I wanted to straighten my teeth with Invisalign at first, but some other doctors recommended Invisalign, but I decided to go with Dr. Tottori because his treatment plan made the most sense to me and I trusted him.

・ Location of the clinic
I felt that the location of the clinic was also important, as I would need to visit regularly after starting treatment.
Dr. Tottori has an office in the Ala Moana Building, but he is generally only in the Ala Moana office every Thursday and every other Saturday, so there were times when the Ala Moana office was not open for emergencies or even on Thursdays. In that case, I had to go to the main office in Kapolei, which was inconvenient.

I wish you a satisfactory decision.

I am in my late 50's and I had mouthpiece braces at Smile Direct Club. I was supposed to have the treatment for 12 months, but when I was not satisfied with the results, they extended the treatment period at no extra charge. My child and I also had bedtime-only mouthpiece braces at Smile Direct Club, and my child had beautifully finished braces in 10 months. It seems to vary from person to person depending on the original teeth alignment, age, etc.

The price was about $ 1600 for the whole process with a friend of mine during the referral campaign, but I think the price is higher now. I had the braces only at night, so there was no pain or hindrance at all. Now that my braces are finished, I still sleep with retainers at night only.

I used to straighten with Invisalign.
As an adult, of course.
I paid $5000 plus total.
The total duration is about a year.
Actually, a long time ago, when I was in elementary school, I had a setback because of the pain of adjusting the orthodontic appliances
Invisalign doesn't look bad and you can brush your teeth properly,
I recommend it for that reason.
I am very happy now that I have the teeth I wanted.

Thanks for replying, min. I understand that there are products with barcode stickers that are responding to the barcode stickers.
I understand. Thank you very much. After listening to your opinions, I now think that it is normal for an alarm to go off. From now on, when the alarm goes off at the donkey shop on the way home, I will no longer think, "Why did it go off? On the contrary, I will be able to open the bag to make it easier to see and cope with the situation.

Donki has a lot of Japanese products, so I will continue to shop there.

I am glad I posted this ！
Thank you so much to everyone who replied.

Whenever I go through security at the exit of Don Quijote, I always think that the alarm will ring. In the 10 years that I have lived in Hawaii, I think my mentality has improved a lot from when I first came to Hawaii. Of course, I have done nothing wrong, and I have come to accept the fact that this is what it is like to live together with other ethnic groups in a natural way.

Momo-san, thank you for your reply. Thanks for sharing your experience Momo-san. You were passing through thinking that the alarm would not ring.
I am new to Hawaii and was scared when the alarm went off at first. What ？ I thought, "What the ?
When it rang continuously, I thought "Why? I thought, "Why?
When I was in Japan, I never heard alarms going off at the exits of stores, of course, and when they did, I thought it was a suspicious situation.

I am posting this to ask for your experiences, and
from your replies, I have learned that products with a separate barcode sticker, wagyu beef, cosmetics, clothing, masks, etc. will ring at the exit gate even if you have finished paying at both self-service and cashier's checkout.
And, the exit gate is always lit. I now understand that it is normal for the alarm to go off at the exit gate.

I am glad that I was able to solve the problem by listening to your opinions.
Thank you all very much.

When I buy an item with a barcode sticker, I will put the item in my bag or in an easily visible place, and I will prepare my receipt and bag before the security person tells me to do so.

It is important to accept that this is what it means to live together with other ethnic groups.

Momo-san, thank you so much for understanding my feelings and replying with kind words.

The alarms on Gate seem to be set to go off for meat products.

Also, Don ・ Quijote's Reusable Bag has another seal besides the tag.
You have to remove it, too.

I am not accusing you of anything.

I once entered Don ・ Quixote and the security
asked me to show my bag because the alarm went off, and I said, "You just entered the store, what are you talking about? I said, "You just entered the store, what are you talking about?

I said, "If you want to see it, I can show it to you. It's okay. But that security guy got fired, or he's not around these days.

Honolulu Waikiki, thank you very much for your reply.
And sorry for the late reply.
Honolulu Waikiki, that's what happened to you too.
If you are a resident and know the situation of Donki,
you may think you know it is normal to ring the bell, but
if you are a tourist from Japan and often go to Donki, you may not know this.
Now that I understand the situation at this Exchange Plaza Donki, I can think that it is normal for the alarm to go off at the exit, so I don't have to wonder ？ if it will go off again in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

your wife and her girlfriends
all women would be victims of the same.

I think the man is 100% at fault.

He cheated on his wife and all of them.

All the women victims should sue and put the man in jail.

Well, don't get so excited. Take a deep breath and calm down first.




This man's wife writes that he "should be able to claim alimony"

against you, but he cannot.

Even if she did, her claim would be denied.



because when you meet a man, he says he is single.

If she knew he was married before they started dating, and they started seeing each other and continued to have sex
the woman is at fault and can claim alimony from the man's wife.


In this woman's case, she believed the man who kept saying he was single and continued to have sex with him
and she found out he was married, not from his mouth, but because she discovered his wife's Instagram.


The conclusion is that this woman is not bad at all.

what are you saying ？ the only victim is Mr. h.
The wife is also responsible for letting her stupid husband who cheats all the time go free.

Alimony cannot be claimed in Japan or here if you didn't know.

You have been patient ？ Did your wife get an STD from her idiot husband ？
You can't satisfy him, so he cheats on you.
If you would rather divorce him than put up with it ？
If you say you are his friend too, give him some advice.
Tell him to get rid of the stupid, sloppy man.
If it were my husband, I would leave him as soon as possible and hide him, he's a disgrace, but his wife is a great person.

"What does it matter to you
where those people are living now?"
It does. ？
Don't you have any other friends? ？
If they get an STD, they will probably treat you coldly and say you deserved it.

"Someday, when you have a significant other
you will understand."
I'd like to meet a wife who would consider a scumbag who cheats on his wife all the time and treats her like property without apology even after she contracts an STD. People like you are the reason the world has gone crazy. Please have a decent way of thinking.

Mr. H,
please use a condom until you can trust your partner. It is mostly women who cry. I wish you a speedy and complete recovery from your emotional trauma.

Your wife continues to give free love to a man who won't quit picking on and cheating on you no matter how many times you tell him to.

I think it's really great that she even moved out.

It's not easy to do.　Men, if you don't quit picking on them and take care of your wives, you'll be punished.

I'm sure his wife knows and tacitly approves.
She's on such a small island and doesn't know
she's either not interested in her husband anymore,
or
she's the type that burns when there are other women around.

This topix is a victim.
But he has already moved on
I am sure he has already found a new love.
Why don't you stop rehashing the past around here ？.

It is not easy to get a response. As for enrollment in the Japanese National Health Insurance while temporarily returning to Japan, each local government has a different view ・ on how to handle the situation. If you are living abroad and temporarily return to Japan and then go back abroad again, you may not be eligible for the transfer in some areas. I always return to Japan for a few months every year, but in my case, I am the head of the household and move in at my parents' address, and my children are my live-in family. When moving in, there is always a confirmation of the landing date on the stamp page of my passport, so I always have my passport stamped with the landing date after the automatic gate at the arrival airport. If you enroll in the National Health Insurance system, a payment slip for health insurance premiums will be sent to your parents' house in a lump sum. I have told my parents to pay all the premiums before I return to Hawaii and to ignore any mail addressed to me that arrives at my parents' house after I leave because they say that they cannot refund the premiums once paid. Now that we are in Corona, travel restrictions are stricter than they were before Corona. Before Corona, my family used to travel between Japan and Hawaii with only US passports for my husband and children, but now I think we need both Japanese and US passports, green cards, and visas.

There is a site called meetup.com （ recently they have an app ） and you can search for the city name and the item you want to do and groups and events will come up.
Not too long ago, there was a group that played volleyball on weekends at Kapiolani Park.
I've actually seen them do it.
You might want to do a search.

I have never used this method to switch licenses, but ・ ・ ・

Bank Statements should be Printable if you log into Online Banking.
There you should be able to print a statement with your name and address ・ even if it is set to Paperless.
At least FHB and CPB can do it.

I think you can use statements from your cell phone company as other proof, but I don't know. ？
You can also print statements from Papaerless if you go to your account.
Similarly, I think I could use Statements from my credit card, but I'm not sure.

I was OK with the statement I printed out from the bank office last month and the documents from when I applied for my SSN.
When I asked the consulate to issue the certificate, they told me that it will be invalid when the SS card is detached, but would you like to try ？
and I was worried, but at the license center, the document that accepted my SSN application is fine.

It's not easy to make an appointment now, so I recommend getting in line at 8 ： 00 in the morning.
If you're lucky, you can be in the room in about an hour, and it takes about 30 minutes.

＃ As 2 Aloha said, it seems high for a 2 bed condo. how much has the usage ≪(KWH≪) fluctuated over the past year with Heco's electricity bill? I think you need to check that first and find out if there are times when your usage has spiked. Some electricians have clamp-style ammeters, so you should be able to tell which appliances are drawing abnormal current by turning the breakers of each appliance on and off and having them check the change in current. An electrician would know which appliances usually have how much. If they still can't find anything abnormal, there may be a problem with the way the electricity is used itself. On this neighborhood bulletin board, there has been a great deal of talk about the unusual increase in electricity bills this summer, and the rate structure itself seems to have gone up quite a bit. Even at home, this month's rates were 16% higher than last month's, and 12% higher than the month before and the month before last. Usually $ about 350, but this month it was 40% more.

Thank you for writing. I told my landlord and he said the refrigerator is old and I can replace it.　If that doesn't work, by way of changing the electricity panel on the breaker. I would like to find the refrigerator that twin mentioned with energy saving on it because we can choose the refrigerator we want with our budget.
