Orthodontist, Day 4: The Hot Red Braces

I had yet another adventure at the Ortho today. This time I just had to get the braces (and headgear) tightened. I managed to sit in the right chair, and the Ortho lady set to work on my teeth. First she asked me what color I wanted next. Me, being an idiot, was confused. I decided on red for my braces this time, and she tightened them. It felt very uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it. Then she told me I'd been doing a good job and tightened the headgear two holes (Ooo, it feels really tight now). I'm not very good at pulling my hair back while sitting down, which is embaressing in front of an Ortho.
Meanwhile, my Mom is having a lot of fun mocking my Dad in the waiting room.

Finally, Dr. Cryder came and checked my teeth out. He told me I'd be getting my bottom braces on soon. I'm very bad at keeping my mouth open and moving around. Ortho lady gave me some kind of paper thing and sent me back to my Mom. I am officailly getting ze braces on June 1st. That's gonna be fun...
