hurray! i'm in pain!

several weeks ago i was told that on my next orthodontist visit i would be getting braces, but today they say that they never said that and it is a very common procedure to take four more x-rays on the third visit after the five that they took on the second visit. if anyone understood that i'll be in awe. so apparently on my last visit something went wrong with one of the x-rays they took and they had to re-do it, and then remold my teeth and polish them with crushed volcanic ashe!! it was a very enduring process as you can see. now i'm home with plastic spacers that are trully uncomfortable that took three different people to put in, no joke, but all is well and on Valentines day i will be getting my metal installed, how romantic.
