Ha Mirky! You're great for Hilarious Hobbits!
Well, I had a most interesting braces appointment on Wednesday.
Signed in and waited till the lady called me.
"Ok, we're going to take some pictures of your teeth."
Ok with me. so they sat me up in the chair with a big star behind it.
"Ok, just relax your mouth."
*click*
"Now give me a BIIIIIIG smile!"
CHEESE!!!!!
*click*
"Ok, turn sideways."
*click*
"Now take these," she hands me two plastick things that look sort of like wide sticks with flat hooks on them
"And put them ringt, there, *Sticks them in my mouth and hookes them on my cheeks* and pull you cheeks apart and hold it rght there. Good!"
I felt somewhat embarassed to be pulling my cheeks apart with theses things sticking in the air.
*Click*
"nowpull back hard on the right side"
*Yanks it back*
Great. I now feel like she's pulling my cheek off.
After about 20 seconds of focusing,
*Click* I start seeing white spots floating around from the flash in my eyes so mush.
It is repeated on the left side.
My cheeks are now numb.
"Ok, now we're going to take an x-ray."
We move to a different room.
"I'll have you take your earrings and glasses and headband off"
"Hold onto these handels" she says motioning to them.
"And stand right like that."
I am now in a somewhat painful postition and she plunks a heavy "Vest" as she calls it on me.
If you stood like I was you'd fall flat on your back but for the handels.
"Ok, put your chin here anbd bite on this stick."
freakyyyyy...
So she gets me positioned and starts it.
"Sorry, we're going to have to do it again"
Yikes, x-rays are bad for you but oh well.
so she does it
againnow we move onto a new machien.
"Stand right there."
She sitcks two pointy weird things in my ears so I don't move my head and that x-ray is complete.
We move onto a different room. The grafiti room. Celeing to floor it's covered in names. On one of the machiens someone wrote "Shark bait oo haha!"
I sit in a chair and she tries a metal plate ion my top teeth. It looks like an arch with a "wall" sortof on the edge. Oh no. I know what's going to happen.
but first she heats up a piece of plasic and I comp on it while she's mixing up...
the pink goo... (dun dun DuUN DUNNNNNN)
she takes it off and fills the plate with a pink mix that looks like gooey bubble gum and sticks it on my bottom teeth. Ok, that wasn't as bad as the time I did it last year.
But now for the top. I have brackets on my top teeth but not on the bottom so this one was going to be extra hard. She sticks it on and I start gagging.
"Breath through your nose"
It stop gagging.
She takes it off and my teeth and shirt are covered in pink goo. Great.
I wait there for a minute or two and she leaves and then comes back.
"Uhhh, sorry, but it wasn't big enough..."
Great here we go again.
So she gets a bigger one and we repeat the proscess. But I do fine this time.
More pink goo all over me.
She leaves again fpr a minute or two and comes back.
"Don't get mad Elizabeth..." Elizabeth? Where'd she get that? My nome's not Elizabeth. Oh well. she must have been thinking of someone else.
"...but we're going to have to do it again because We didn't get the back teeth."
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
so she gets a REALLY big one that instead of going on me teeth only, it coveres the whole top of my mouth.
I really started gagging and almost oulled it out but I survived.When she pulled it off, the suction was so much I tought she was going to pull my brackets off and am a mess when she pulls this one off.
But this one finally works and she lets me go to the bathroom to wash off. I gratefully obey, and leave a trail of pink goo shavings behind me. (It was more like pieces that dry so they can make a model so the ones that fell of my shirt were like pieces) and look at myself in the miror and wonder how she kept from laughing. I looked rather funny. I finally got it all oyut of my teeth and my face and feel much refreshed. then it's over.
So we went home.
Wow, this is like... the longest je on here ever!
g2g play with my sister.
