Today, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML

Today, I was at the orthodontist. As the lady was clipping my brackets, she missed and clipped my gums instead. She looked at me and said, "Oh sorry, you're bleeding really badly. See, I got these fake nails put on and I guess I'm just not used to them. Let me try again." She missed. FML
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML
Today, my brace broke and due to Covid-19, I can't get it fixed for another month and a half. Four brackets have come off, the wire is sinking into my gum, giving me tooth and jaw pain. I can't eat and I'm spending excessive amounts of money on pain relief. The cause of all this? A cheese pasty. FML
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Today, they finally took my braces off. 7 hours later I fell off my bike and chipped my tooth. FML
Today, I had eight teeth removed in preparation for getting my braces fitted. My winter break will now consists of barely being able to sleep or eat, tasting blood, and looking like a goofy-ass chipmunk. FML
Today, I went to the orthodontist. No biggie, of course. I know the drill, so I didn’t think twice before letting the doctor stick his gloved hands into my mouth. His warm, wet, gloved hands. What the fuck??? FML
Today, I got my braces put on. This is the second time I've had them. The first time was after my cousin opened a car door in my face. This time a jock punched me in the mouth for saying that Reese's taste the same as Snickers peanut butter. FML

Gums gushing blood is absolutely not standard for an orthodontist. You might want to change orthodontist.

That's actually all pretty standard for braces. Totally worth it though. That lisp will probably go away if you open your mouth a bit more when you speak.

I'm British and even we know that shouldn't happen. You should change Orthodontist, or at least get a second opinion on what this one is doing. Complete hacks can present as entirely professional right up until they actually start working on you. Also, you want the liquid replacement meals rather than baby food. You don't need to feel extra sh!tty on top because your body isn't getting everything it needs. Especially if you are still growing. But seriously, get a second opinion at the very least. The damage a bad/greedy dentist/orthodontist can do lasts a long time and can cost a fortune to fix later.
