The only real braces problem I have now is that I have to make a 4 hour trip home once a month for adjustments while I'm at college lol. My ortho and assistants are very bad with communication, and in addition to the headgear suprise, I've also had the metal powerchains suprise(and I only figured they were metal powerchains because I had metal powerchains when I was a kid and could sort of remember the feeling when they were being installed) and the elastics suprise(although, once again, from my phase 1 experience I could infer what they were). One assistant at one time must of assumed I was younger than 19, because she put hot pink powerchains on me( I wouldn't of minded so much except that I had an audition later on that day) and when I looked in the mirror I was like "what"? lol. I've warned the ortho that I don't like suprises, but he seems to turn deaf when I mention things like that. Now, right after I'm done with adjjustments, I always go straight to the bathroom and check in the mirror to see what they've done,lol. I think part of it is, kids/teens don't really care what they're doing in their mouths, but adults like to know what's going on. Anyway, aside from the poor communication, at least my ortho does seem to be closing my spaces pretty quickly and my midline is almost normal.
