I got back from the orthodontist. Bad things happened, too. I got my elastics on in the worst position imaginable, with one elastic going across my face, from my 3rd upper left tooth to my 3rd bottom right tooth. I can't stick my tongue out, I can't drink a glass of water without taking my elastics out, and I have a lisp now.
Also, the orthodontist gave me bad news. He's going to have to implant a button into my gums (and into the root of my tooth) and close my open bite. Apparently, the button is one of the most painful orthodontic appliances around, and I'll be unable to eat a while after I get it in. I wish my teeth weren't so crooked
