And so are their secretarys. As they made me have 3 different ortho's in 7 months, appointments on average 1 per 4 weeks.
Ortho 1:
Young indian women, the sanest of the 3. But not sane. First, she tells me I have a cavity, and I go to the dentist who says it's fine. She has a weird voice and freaks me out. She gives me a retainer, and tells me that the next session will be long.
Ortho 2:
I come in for this "long" session, and find, surprise surprise, she has mytseriously gone and replaced with a man with an odd European accent. He's angry-looking and acting, and tells me to lie down. He looks at my teeth and says that my oral hygeine is terrible, that I'll be getting a fixed brace on my top teeth, then tells me to leave. I go to dentist, and everything's fine. When I next see him, he says he forgot to do the long session and says he'll do it today. And it's only 5 minutes!
"That was only 5 minutes, are you sure that was the long session?"
"Yes! I have many appointments, go away!"
He also tells me that next time I'm getting a fixed brace on my bottom teeth next appointment. I prepare, arrive and he's in a happy mood saying that actually, I need a fixed brace for both top and bottom teeth. He says that on March 11th (last monday) there will be an appointment for checking my teeth size, and the monday after that my brace will be put in.
Ortho 3:
I come in and see a 30-something woman with blonde hair who looks just like a teacher at my school sitting there says my train tracks are next week, and she needs to put seperaters between my teeth, I am forced down and she hurts my teeth as she shoves in these plastic things.
Conclusion: Your Honour would make a good Orthodontist.

I had my fixed Brace tightened today (get it done once every 6 weeks). The orthodontise forgot to put in one of the bands to keep the wire in place didn't he!
Never mind, it's all ok so far, I just hope it lasts those 6 weeks.
If anyone here has a brace and doesn't like the look of it, just remember that Tom Cruise has to have one for 6 months (I think) and he's having photos taken all the time. Think how he must feel!

It IS worth it in the end though Al - I've been going through the treatment for 19 and a half months, and my teeth are a helluva lot straighter.
I really don't like it how people call them traintracks though - it just sounds really slang and rotten and vulgar to me.
Ah well, I had one ortho the entire way through, so :p
Appointments here have at least a gap of 2-3 months, unless an emergency appointment has been made. I've had three, because of the wire in my fixed brace fell out...thrice.
They told me to wear the headgear in bed, but my dad didn't let me (I was hardly keen myself), as it's a safety risk. I could roll over in the night and crush my face, as my cousin did, sending the brace into the roof of his gums, sending him on a trip to the Hospital ASAP.
Damn hygeine...
