My mother told me," Curly, you've got an orthidantist appointment."
"oh no." I said, heart sinking," What are they gonna do?"
"Not much." she replied.
What she could've said would be, " well, theyre going to take 3 Xrays, stick a humungous mirror in your mouth twice, then take 2 molds of your teeth twice, and then pry your lips open so they can put flouride on each tooth.
But of course, if parents were that frank, children would have rebelled long ago. So they choose to stay nuetral, so they can leave you to your fate.
Oh, but the orthidantist wasn't the terrible part. Before I left, they said" Next week we're going to cement an appliance that gradually drag your forward by a series of coils and springs which will eventually, over the course of one year, get rid of your over bite. And in 3 months we put on the braces."
I went home and watched a movie. In the movie, the main character would have flashbacks to his childhood, where he wore an enoumus contraption which pulled his lips out and tugged his jaw forward.
Needless to say, a movie like that and a week are not a very good combination for my situation.
Youre probably there luaghing and saying " HA HA! SUCKER!" while you struggle not to fall out of your chair. Well, you heartless fiend, you wont be laughing when it happens to YOU!(or some one you know!)

I meant to say "drag your jaw forward"
and of coure, this probably already happened to you, anyway. So if your luaghing, STUFF A SOCK IN IT!
i am not laughing, but sadly it has happened to me. That appliance isnt all that bad, but of course i had it when i was 8 or so. the whole thing works out really well in the end tho--i've got the smile to prove it!
dont you get it!? by smiling, you are giving in to the enemy!
I'm not laughing because I have to pay for it.
another item for the Intolerable Act!
It could be worse: Imagine going to the dentist to have one tooth replaced and being told that your whole mouth would have to be straightened out first--at the age of fifty-something! The Hubster may not have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth (translation: born rich), but he certainly had a mouth full of "silverware" for a good while.
It's going to be a lot of fun. You're going to love it.
Really.
Mrs. Balbusta's just been in denial since it happened to her.
don't worry, man! it'll all be ok! trust me, i've been going to the orthodontist since i was about 8. i've had more appliances in my mouth than they sell at sears (LOL sorry I know that was lame!) i've also had braces twice. you will thank your parents later, because not only will you have a lovely smile, but you won't have to deal with a lot of the pain & difficulties that old people (read: our parents) have to!
