"I'll be your patient on Wednesday......if I can get my braces off today." I added.

Usually, orthodontists wouldn't just take off somebody's braces because they wanted them off, but I needed them off for the filling on Wednesday and so that I could make a good impression on the Chief when I have the appointment in front of Dr. Clemens.

"I'm going to go see if I can find my uncle, to see if he can call Dr. Winters in." I said, anything to get these braces off and so that I can get out of this dental chair as soon as possible.

I quickly jumped out of the seat and went straight for the door, not realizing that someone had already knocked on the door and would be walking into the room at any second.

I approached the door, but somebody was already  walking in, I would've fallen flat on my butt if it wasn't for Noah catching my fall as he stood right behind me.

As Noah set me back on my feet, I realized that Dr. Winters was standing in the doorway.

"Just the person I was looking for. Can you take my braces off?" I asked hopeful.

"Uh....no. Sit in the chair." He ordered as if he knew what he was doing.

"Can you at least listen to what I have to say?" I basically begged.

Dr. Winters kept silent so I began my spiel.

"I need them off so Noah can fill in a cavity for me for his dental practical. And I need to make a good impression on our Professor. So I need my braces off. Pretty please, with a cherry on top ." I explained as I reluctantly sat in the dumb dental chair.

"Usually I don't do this for anybody. BUT, if I do take your braces off, you're getting retainers today." Dr. Winters reluctantly said as he got on a mask and slowly put on a pair of gloves, making sure not to snap them, since he knows I can't usually handle the glove snap, he hates seeing people cringe because of a simple noise.

Dr. Winters examined my braces and went to go grab pliers.

Heck yeah, I get my braces off!!!

I gave Noah's hand a soft but yet happy squeeze, me getting a tighter and crushing hand squeeze back.

It was such a dumb thing to be happy about, but I don't want to be the dental college student with freaking braces.

Dr. Winters got all the glue and brackets off my teeth and so forth, before excusing himself from the room.

Finally, there's no dumb brackets on my teeth anymore.
