I have treated fifty-five trays. It hasn’t even been a full year and I’m on tray 19. I was informed that I will be receiving rubber bands at tray 11. I’ve wanted to give up ever since I got the rubber bands. The bands have made me ten times more self-conscious of my teeth. I’ve had to get the band’s “buttons” fixed three times because they keep coming off. I’m over it; another band button fell off today. Who has time to keep visiting the orthodontist to get these pointless items replaced?
I simply had to let it out. I’m simply so over it. I have to schedule another appointment on Monday, and because I am unable to do this any longer, I’m thinking of just telling them to remove all of the buttons and move forward with the composite bonding and permanent retainers.
