Jan 29th My daughter got her braces on
The following will be in my daughter's point of view. This blog will be updated monthly when she gets her braces tightened and her teeth get straghter.
5-23-07 (Wednesday, May 23) This guy is rude!
I hate my orthodontist so much! I'm glad he isn't my dad! His staff is really mean and rude! It all started when I got into the office. I went and the usual happened. I have a tooth that is very far back. There was a space being opened for that tooth. I felt that the tooth can move forward now. When he looked inside my mouth he said that my teeth are not the cleanest he went with me (this is the ridiculous part that you won't believe) and grabbed the toothbrush and brushed really hard he also put me in a headlock. I felt my braces and my teeth were going to fall out right away (they didn't, whew). So my mom gasped and thought that we needed to make a report and report him to the state dental board right away. I was about to cry. I wondered what this guy was thinking. I was scared.
Next, my mom asked if I have made progress in any way. He paused for a second or two and said with disrespect that it was like watching hair grow and said it would take 2 years for my teeth to be straight (said that at the beginning) (trust me they always lie about that stuff). More like 2.5, I think. I wanted my teeth straight by the summer before high school. I don't think it will take me that long. It might take my brother 2 years or maybe 2.5 years though. He said my teeth didn't move at all, basically. I saw that one of my teeth did move forward.
I feel that that tooth will move forward in 3-4 months like my other tooth. He said a few other choice phrases like: Stop jumping around, you are making us have a hard time! You can be miserable for 1.5 years (I think if it is 2 years that it would be 1 year 8 months. I am in advanced math), I'm not touching your gums where it hurts (my gums dont hurt) (I'm sorry if I jump around I am scared of him).
I think in a few more months my teeth will be pretty close to straight. They really aren't that crooked. I will post pictures of my teeth and show you they really aren't that crooked. I am really mad. I want him to go out of business. I could see him going to the streets being poor. Say good bye to that Jaguar, coach wallet (your wife's), rich house, stocks, business, employees, everyone's business, your license, your timeshares, house on the shore, and all of those years of studying. Hs life will go downhill. What goes around comes around, dr. Motherwell! Go anywhere but there if you are moving to dfw area ok? He definately doesn't deserve his high school degree. If you dont pass high school you cant go to college or get to be a doctor. I always wonder whenever I go there, 'Why me?' what did I do to this guy?'
One of my theories that can't be true is, that almost every patient in that office is blonde or has light brown hair. I have dark brown / black hair, medium skin tone, brown eyes, and 5' 4" tall. I am of more than one race. Maybe it's because of my accent, some people there have a southern accent, some other accent I can't recognize, or no accent, I have a "Chicago" accent, I was born and raised in Chicago. I did not grow up with country music at all (I grew up with Spanish music, hip hop, pop, rock, and more). It is kind of annoying that they always play country music (I like some country music). He is much nicer to blondes rather than me. I will tell you the truth, if I could I would keep my mouth shut and breathe through my nose. I'd not show my teeth when I smile (I do) I'd only open my mouth when I eat, or when it's necessary. I would hardly show my teeth at all. I'd never talk and learn sign language. I am talkative at the right times so that's why it's hard. Sometimes my teeth, mouth or tongue hurt really bad. I would love to hide in a box for the rest of the 2 years.
I am kind of miserable still, I actually would rather have invisalign or something like that done, i heard from my cousin that it doesn't work or it takes forever. I feel that is true for braces too. I would not like crooked teeth for the rest of my life either. I still eat things that they say i'm not supposed to eat like: bagels, carrots, celery, pretzels (hard), apples, marshmallows, pizza crust, hard candy (jolly ranchers, mints, lollypops), popcorn (caramel, kettle, buttered), cheetos, and doritos. And I still chew gum. Occasionally.
The last thing I'd say befor I leave the office is, good-bye dr. Motherwell and staff, good riddance, see you in well, never! I'll be very happy in 1.5 years really! Well only 1 year and 8 months to go! And I will never see him and his staff again:)
