Have you had a sit down heart-to-heart talk with them? (your teeth I mean)

� Have you explained to your teeth that they need to get along with the Ortho and Denise; that it's not an option?
� Have you cajoled them into giving up their stubborn and renegade ways?
� Have you stroked the egos of their high maintenance roots with flattery and bribery?
� Have you threatened them with hours of Austin Powers�s movies?

Though this is typed all in good fun, I am truly sorry for your set backs, and I hope this brought you a small chuckle. After all you have been through �girl, rant as much and for as long as you need to get those frustrations out. Keeping them in doesn�t do you any good. Hang in there!!!!
