When Amy first agreed to having braces last Fall, she told the orthodontist Dr. Lang that she wanted the braces off by graduation at the end of May. Told. As she sat in the orthodontist chair today waiting for Dr. Lang to finish with another patient, she peaked at her file, surprised to find a notation "Wants to be finished by high school graduation in May." She was impressed.
She was even more impressed when Dr. Lang said that she would be getting her braces off at the next visit. However, they added a power chain and rubber bands to her hardware to make sure her teeth would be sufficiently straight. I told her the inconvenience and pain would be an appropriate price to pay for them working with her wishes.
