Colleagues:

I recently became my own patient. For restorative purposes, I needed to extrude a tooth. Having never worn fixed appliances, I had only the vicarious experiences of my patients as a control. What a difference being the patient. My partner placed my appliances. I was (and still am) in agony. Sore, sharp, scratchy, pokey ends. Everything our patients complain about I experienced. It is a whole new window on what braces really feel like and is an experience we should all endure every so often. It sure has made me much more sympathetic to the complaints I previously dismissed as "whiny" or "wimpy." Seems I'm both.
