Hi,
DS (18) has overbite and has been receiving orthodontic treatment for it since July 2018.
His orthodontist has always come across as very sarcastic and unprofessional.
A few months after the start of the treatment she recommended he get one of his upper side teeth removed to allow space for the bite to reduce, she didn’t provide DS with enough info about this at the time so he refused and then she made sarcastic comments like “oh you’re a man with a plan” “why come here anymore if you won’t get this simple procedure done”
Eventually, he did get it done and then she started to be reasonable again. (Ok I do get why she may be annoyed that he refused to get his tooth extracted, but she didn’t provide him with enough facts and she didn’t need to be blunt about it)
Anyway, he was in again today and he had broken his braces as he was removing plaque a couple of days ago with a dental hook and the wire came off and he tried to put it back in again and it wouldn’t go in.
I told him to tell the orthodontist that he was eating corn on the cob and it came off due to that, which he did and she didn’t believe it.
She didn’t directly say that, she just said “oh well that’s the most dangerous corn on the cob I’ve come across, “I think it’s had a little assistance”
So obviously she knew he was lying but DS thinks that was rude? AWBU?
He also asked her if the braces could come off soon and she apparently bluntly said no and her tone kind of made it sound like it was unreasonable that he was even asking for the braces to come off.
P.s I’m asking this on DS’ behalf
