More Thoughts on the Do's and Dont's for Unbraced people

Don't- ask me for the 100th time why am I going to the bathroom after a meal, when you already know i'm going to brush my teeth. ( come on, are you that stupid that I have to tell you 101 times? I went to the dentist maybe you should get your hearing tested)
Don't- assume that all my meals need to be searved in a bowl with a straw. ( I still have teeth you know what the hell do you think the braces are attached to)
Don't- roll your eyes at me and tell me that I dont need them but you did, because your teeth were worse than mine. (everyones needs are different in treatment)
Don't - say they are only teeth get dentures later and to save my money ( I want to be the only one in the nursing home at 90 chomping on steak thanks, not slopping down savory mince).
Don't- that say I'm selfish for spending joint income on my teeth and what did my husband get in return, ( well in our marriage is not tit for tat and my husband supports me 100% , he wants me to have healthy teeth and gums, and why is wanting my teeth to actually face the right direction a crime, and the crowding, and gaps and an uneaven midline with a deep bite and 2 temporary anchorage screws in my jaw - YES ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT ONE BIG PARTY) - this comment was actually made by a relative.
and on a final note im not your 1800 braces hotline for all the kids and parents at the school to call up. im not a dr im just a patient, and like me FIND YOUR OWN ORTHODONTIST and go ask your gorey 300 questions THATS WHY YOU PAY THEM FOR THE ADVICE.
Do- treat me like a normal person because i am and there are lots of things to talk about other than my braces- i can tell the difference between genuine concern and down right rude and sarcastic comments.
Sorry if im ranting but its been a hard week -not with braces but with people being - so rude.
