Appointment: February 23, 2010

Today I had my ortho appointment at 10:30 AM. I had biology lab until ten, but didn't leave school until like 10:15 AM because the ortho is close to my school, but still, I got there like 10 minutes late (oops). I waited until they called my name, almost like 30 minutes, but I finally got in.

Guess who was there? You got it! Cute boy. Except I took a good look at him and I realized that he isn't that cute... Haha, I insist, I'm not a creepy girl.

It got to my turn to sit on the chair and the asistant came over and did the usual: removed my wires and sent me over to brush and floss. I came back to the chair and waited for the orthodontist. When she came over, she greeted me and started checking my teeth. "Open big. Close. Open. Close", she said while holding that mirror tool inside my mouth. She took it out and slid back a little on the chair and said: "Good, your braces are coming off in the next visit". Then she told me to keep wearing my rubber bands.

I couldn't believe what she said, and all I could manage to get out was: "Yay!", to which she laughed. She got up, said bye, and went to the other patient. I was left on the chair with a huge smile on my face. The assistant came over and she asked me which color chain I wanted. I asked: "Which colors do you have?". I know I always ask the same thing, but I don't care, haha!. She opened the drawer and showed me the colors. Lots of blue, greens, yellows and oranges. A couple of pinks and purples. I stared at the tray with the chain rolls for like three minutes. The assistant said: "Actually, you can choose two colors if you want, because you're getting them on the top and bottom". "Yay!", I though to myself, "now my decision shouldn't be as hard!". I kept on staring at the colors for a couple of minutes, and the assistant laughed, and I said: "Sorry, I'm very indecisive". I finally concluded on a hot pink on top, and purple on bottom (the same purple from my first chain). She put in the wires, and then the chains, asking me to confirm which color went where. She also gave me a new pack of rubber bands. The, she sent me to wait in the hallway, and I looked at my teeth in the mirror, and I actually liked the color combo.


This made me happy because it was going to be my last couple of chains, and I really liked the colors. The assistant came to meet me and said: "Ok, you're good to go. Just wait for your appointment. Oh, do you know you're getting them off next time?, to which I answered: "Yes!", with a huge smile on my face. She said okay, and then dismissed me. I sat down and waited, I was just so happy of the news. They called my name and the lady said a couple of dates in late March, but they were conflicting with my school schedule, so she set my appointment for April 1st, at 7:30 AM (sucky time, but I probably won't be able to sleep the previous night at all, LOL!).

I went to the restroom before I left, and then headed to my car with a smile that wouldn't go away. And I filmed the rest of the video that is in the post before this one. So check that out :]

Next (
and final) Appointment: April 1, 2010
