I have found info about osteoporosis causing hair loss for some people.
My question is - does it cause you to have an itchy scalp - not dandruff. Just a very itch scalp that feels tight when you scratch.
Just checking to see if there is anyone else out there with this.
Thanks and let’s all have a great day!

I am considering Invisalign to fix my teeth, which are starting to crowd and overlap in front. I am concerned about whether this might fracture my teeth or jaw.

Has anyone has orthodontics? What was your experience?
