*****rambling ranting at 3 in the morn'...this is not coherent just scroll on by******
Sometime in the next two weeks I'll be having a lovely conversation. (Some context, I've had braces for six years, have been recommended by a dentist offhand that I shouldn't have them much longer, and have very, very little respect for my current orthodontist who is a jerk and I just generally loathe him as a person...also been told by a dentist that there is like a whole list of general care things he skipped on telling me) I expect it to go something like this:
Me: I want to end my treatment now. Like, no I'm not getting another tooth taken out?
Dr: That's be stupid and a detriment to your future health. No. You have to stay here another year or four.
Me: I'm aware of that, I'd still like to cancel my treatment.
Dr: Is your mother here?
Me: .......WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE THAT I'VE BEEN A LEGAL ADULT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. Now about a retainer...
Dr: No, man, I'm way smarter than you and if you don't go with my treatment plan I'm not going to work on you at all.
Me: plz. Plz just take them off as you are legally required to before I take that stabby implement and poke it through my spleen kthxbai
Dr: Why?
...maybe not quite like that word for word but he's the most narcassitic and...ugh all I ask is for someone who like...will inform me about changes in my treatment or what my treatment even is supposed to be.
My mom didn't like my idea of taking my own impressions and ordering my own retainer, though. That was only 30% sarcastic of an idea.
