PATIENT STORIES

In a recent contest we asked patients, "What's the funniest thing that's happened to you since you started wearing braces?"

Allison Nichols won a $50 gift certificate to Gameworks for her winning entry.

"I was petting my dog and he licked my mouth. My mouth had been open and his tongue got stuck in my brackets and wires."

When I was in a wrestling match with my friend, I did a swim move to his back side and rolled him down. He reached over his back and grabbed me. As I flipped over him, I said something and my braces got caught on his shoulder. As I fell, I tore off part of his shirt and some skin. "Uh, I think this fight's over," I said. He touched his wound a couple times and looked up. "Yea. I think so."

Zanchie Whitehead
I was at Denny's with my friend and when we ordered our food I told the waiter that I wanted "Seasoned Fries." Due to my slight lisp, he mistakenly took the order as "Caesar Fries," but didn't confirm it. He just gave me a funny look. When he comes back with our food, he gives me a Caesar salad. My friend and I laughed about it at first, but he gave me the correct order after the misunderstanding.

The funniest thing was when I was walking through the security and the alarm went off. I said "I didn't do it!" and everybody was looking at me like I was a criminal. When they brought out the security stick they moved it around me and on my mouth and the thing started beeping and the security guard said open your mouth now so I did and everybody laughed and so did I it was so funny.

Contributed by Caely's mom:
I came home to find all the refrigerator magnets in two sections on the fridge. I asked the kids why. My teenage son said that he found Caely testing each magnet to see which ones stuck to her braces and which ones didn't. We all got a good laugh out of it, including red-faced Caely.
