There are two assistants at my ortho's office and one of them is really gentle, fast, and seems like she definitely knows what she's doing. The other one is really rough, always seems to put her hands on my face, and forgets to do some stuff for the adjustment because she didn't read my chart. For some reason, I think I get assigned the rough one because I am an adult and the other, nicer one is needed for all the kids. Then, at the last adjustment, the rough one kept losing her grip on the instrument and it kept hurting until she did something so hard that she cut open my lip on the outside. Then, when she said I was done, I went over and looked in the mirror and there was blood all over my teeth, although the new colored ligs looked nice. I got in the car and noticed that she didn't put any comfort wire along the big space across a gap and the wire was so sharp, it was cutting my tongue. So, I went back in, and I told the assistant that she forgot the comfort wire and she said she didn't know I had had it even though I've had it since my 2nd adjustment.
Anyway, I'd like to ask if I can request who does my adjustment, but I'm afraid they'll tell me that the gentle one usually does kids and doesn't have time for me, so I just have to stick it out. I'm sure people have been in this situation before. However, I feel that maybe if I tell the office that I don't want the rough one working with my teeth, she'll get offended and there will be tension every time I go there. Suggestions?
