Typical Orthodontic Experience

15.5 Hours Lost Over The Total Treatment*

A typical Orthodontic appointment goes like this…

• You walk out to your car, during work hours.
• You feel a little late and rushed and guilty.
• You drive there through annoying stoplights, ‘Why is this light sooooo long?’
• You notice idiot drivers ‘What is that guy thinking?’
• You check in at the front desk and wait while they finish a call.
• You wait in a room behind others that are more fortunate and early than you.
• You finally make it to the chair. Yay you.
• You sit and wait for someone to acknowledge you.
• You want to look at your phone, but you think someone is going to be helping you any minute.
• You listen in on other’s boring lives while they have hands jammed in their mouths.
• You think about all the things you could be doing with your time.
• You finally see the doctor for 94 seconds, ‘Wait, that’s it?’
• You are released back into the wild. Yay you.
• You go to the front desk to check out.
• You reschedule another visit that is inconvenient for you, but is totally convenient for the doctor.
• You walk back out to your car… it is either too hot or too cold.
• You drive back to wherever you started from…’Hey is that the same idiot driver I saw on the way here?’
• You feel late getting back to whatever you have going on.
• You park the car, that is now the perfect temperature as you are getting out.
• You walk back in and get your mind reset on what it is you were actually doing over an hour ago.
• You realize you are hungry.
• You think ‘How many more times do I have to do this?’
