It happens everytime. I go in, I wait, I am seated, I wait for who knows how long, I get checked up on, I wait AGAIN, I celebrate in my head when my orthodontist FINALLY goes to me, I curse the day he was born when he leaves me hanging AGAIN. I know I have to be patient and all but seriously?! I feel awkward just.... just sitting/laying there until one of his assistants call out that I'm "ready"!

Don't get me started on his assistants! You think they'd get you done in a snap without any distractions. If you think this, you are wrong! They were all like teenage girls! Only caring about gossip this, gossip that! The one that was with me was in the middle of putting these wire things on my braces then stops, gets up, and chats with another one of the assistants and no joke, those wire things HURT! I asked him later when I get my braces off. His response? IN. SIX. MONTHS. I HAVE TO WEAR STUPID RUBBER BANDS IN MY MOUTH RIGHT NOW! "BECAUSE MY MOLARS MESSED IT UP!"

Also that one assistant asked me what colors I wanted for my braces (keep in mind that I picked two colors and did them every other color). And I said "red and silver". She says "okay". After putting the wires in my braces, I see she had my colored bands! The only problem? They were ALL connected! THE FRICK?! I wanted them every other color! Does she not know that means?! Red on one bracket and silver on the one next to it! So I have to wear connected ones til my next appointment there!
