At first- I didn't understand why the ortho would provide such an extravagant amount of rubber bands in that little zip lock rubber band container- but I guess he was aware of the propensity of them to take flight - and usually at the most inopportune moment- i.e - giving an oral report in front of your classmates- on a date- when the last thing you want to do is bombard your date with a rubber band flying in their face-or just hanging with your friends- and trying to explain that you did not plan the rubber band attack.

I used to have a phobia of these creatures, and office visits might as well have been visits to a vampire for all the energy that seemed to drain out of me there. It was worse after starting the martial arts because my fight or flight response always wanted to opt for giving as much pain as I was receiving. Thankfully, though, I never had to endure much of the atrocities you mention. Dentists!

Dang! @ Vered: Floss and mouthwash can accomplish that.

It's really delightful.

No, seriously, I know some great people who wore headgears. You forgot chap stick, and lip liner and lipstick if you're a woman. You wore a headgear, oh, I’m never stopping by this blog again.
