I HATE BRACES WITH A PASSION

          My dad always tells me that I'm so fortunate to have braces and that my teeth will be beautiful and stuff like that. But time to face reality- BRACES KILL. I got mine on in July, I think. For the first hour or so after you get them on, they feel fine, just a little tight. After that one hour, you feel ULTIMATE PAIN. It hurts SO INTENSELY BAD that you have to take medicine, which I never do because I HATE MEDICINE! It hurts for the next couple days, and all you can eat is oatmeal, soup, ice cream, jello, macaroni and cheese, yogurt, etc. It really stinks. So, why am I talking about braces on this particular day?
          Today, I went to the orthodontist after school to get my braces tightened. First, I brushed my teeth with a disposable toothbrush that already has toothpaste in it. Then, I got called back. The lady, age 20 or so, proceeded to take out my wires. During the processes, she accidentally shoved the pliers into my lower gums. IT HURT SO BAD. My eyes were swimming. She didn't apologize; she just asked if I was okay, like, ten seconds later. Then, after that treacherous experience, I went to brush my teeth and floss, which is a lot easier without wires on. After that, the orthodontist came over and told me what beautiful teeth I have. He sadly didn't take my braces off though. Another lady, this time a brunette, put bigger, more painful wires in. I STRONGLY dislike that woman. With pliers in her hand in my mouth, she turned around and talked to her friend about hanging out or something like that. I wanted to say, "HELLO! YOU MIGHT KILL ME HERE! YOU HAVE PLIERS IN MY MOUTH AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING!". Well, when she did turn around, she carried on closing up my brackets and PUSHING MY TEETH AS FAR BACK AS SHE COULD. WITH PLIERS. Holy cow. It hurt sooooooo bad, I was going to scream. It felt like she was pulling my teeth out. It was the worst orthodontist experience I have ever had.
          Right now, I'm just laying on my stomach, typing this post. My teeth really hurt. For dinner, I tried to eat the tortilla wraps we had, but it didn't really work. I then drank a smoothie and ate some mac n'cheese. For dessert, I had a Fudgesicle. Then I complained to my dad that my teeth hurt really bad, and he told me that I should take some medicine. I told him that I didn't like medicine (seriously, the last time I was really sick I only took medicine once because I hate it so much) and he told me that I couldn't complain then. I was like, whatever. You don't feel my pain, man. My teeth pain and my I hate medicine pain. Well, I guess that's all for now. Farewell, and may the braces be with you. (Ha ha.)
