My daughter's diamond orthodontia is too tight

[lunabee34]

Y'all, my first world problems are driving me nuts.

Fiona's Herbst appliance, the internal headgear that is eliminating her Hapsburg chin, has malfunctioned three motherfucking times in the last week, and I have got better things to do than drive 45 minutes one way to have this thing fixed. Last night was the third time; we're headed out after school, and I am going to deploy the I am extremely disappointed and paying you thousands of dollars and gas is expensive and I have a job that is not driving my daughter to your office very other day voice and hopefully this will be the last day of malfunction for awhile.

After my whine about my mouth post, I was shamed to talk to my mom where she told me dad had just had his seventh tooth implant yesterday. Prolonged chemo has caused him to lose seven teeth. :( Poor dude. Puts my crown into perspective.

I hope you're able to get a discount or something on Fiona's appliance. It shouldn't be busting that much! Good luck on the drive!

[lunabee34]

The office visits don't cost anything; so it's just one price regardless of how many times it breaks, thank goodness. It's just the gas to drive there gets tedious. LOL

[amejisuto]

Yeah, but if it broke during a holiday or weekend you'd be in trouble!

[lunabee34]

Oh yeah. I'm crossing my fingers this did the trick.

[amejisuto]

If not, call him up on a Saturday and ask him to come to you! That might change things.

[lunabee34]

Ha! Oh yes. That's going to happen. LOL

[amejisuto]

True. But it would wake him up if he got that call.

Aww, your crown can still bother you even though your dad's having an orally rough time, too. <333

I hope today's visit solves the orthodontia issue once and for all!

[lunabee34]

Hugs

Hopefully today did the trick.

*points to icon* I hope this is the last visit until the scheduled next appointment.

[lunabee34]

Thank you. I'm crossing my fingers that this does the trick.

[oracne]

Ouch!

[lunabee34]

Fiona is such a trooper though. Hopefully this did the trick.

[princessofgeeks]

I am so sorry.

[lunabee34]

Hugs

Hopefully this did the trick.

[corvidology]

If it's breaking that much then obviously they're doing something wrong and should bloody fix it!

[lunabee34]

They seemed to realize that. Lol

Hopefully this did the trick.

[minoanmiss]

All toothly luck! Would it cheer Fiona if I sent the tooth fairy sticker set?

[lunabee34]

Awwww.

You are so sweet. I bet she'd love that.

[china_shop]

Ughhh, that sounds so frustrating and exhausting! I'm so sorry!

*hugs and hugs and a cup of tea*

[lunabee34]

I would love to relax with a cup.

Thank you.

Hopefully this did the trick.

[umadoshi]

That sounds incredibly aggravating. :( I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

[lunabee34]

Thank you.

Hopefully this did the trick.

Even in perspective, it's still annoying, like being nibbled to death by mice. I hope the fix holds this time!

[lunabee34]

And not even cute mice with their tiny feet and their little noses. Lol

Hopefully this did the trick.

*hugs*

Hopefully it is now squared away.

[spikedluv]

That sounds really frustrating!

[lunabee34]

It was, but I think we've got it fixed. *crosses fingers*
