Some of the assistants can be morons.
I got spacers and brackets put in last week (wire will go in this week). Similar set up - 4 chairs being worked simultaneously. Dentist put in the brackets. When I left, I could feel biting on one of the brackets (one top teeth was hitting the bracket on the bottom one - a result of my messed up bite). Anyhoo, I've never had braces, so I didnt know how they shood have felt. I should have checked into a mirror at the office.
I come home, look in the mirror, and know immediately there is no way in hell the bracket is gonna survive. I try to call them but they wernt answeing (lotsa patients I guess). So I go back to their office (1 hr commute) and tell the receptionist my problem. Receptionist gets this female dental assistant with a big smile who is dismissive and tells me its normal bla bla. I show her the bracket, but she is not interested.
I come home, eat a couple of *soft bananas*, and the bracket come off. I want to bash in the assistants head in at this time.
I mean really, doesnt 1000s of dollars buy us some basic competency and decency ? I'm going to ask to speak to a dentist from now on - I can throw this incident, nah, I'm GONNA throw this incident in their faces in the future.
Idiots.
