There are few things in life more distressing than painful orthodontics treatment. Except for stuff like terrorist attacks, starvation in Niger, kidnappings etc, but I was talking about things that are personally distressing to me.

Today's orthodontics treatment ranks highly on the list of Bad Things. Oh, the pain. I can't drink water without it hurting. I had to forego an extremely tasty lunch in favour of soup, as anything more solid would cause me to scream, loudly.

Anyway, he changed the wire, tightened it, cleaned a couple of brackets with a drill that simultaneously hurt my teeth and my ears, and then said:

'Ah. There's a problem.'

WHAAAT? You ARSEHOLE, if the last 10 minutes of PAIN were a WASTE then I will fucking KILL YOU, I think.

'What is it?' I say.

Turns out that the structure of my jaw is wrong, so that the only way I will ever have perfect teeth is if I have corrective surgery. Like, no way.

So despite the 3 or 4 years I have suffered already with this goddamn metal in my mouth, let alone any future ones, I will never have a presentable smile.

Lame-o-rama.

On a happier note, the new ok go video nearly made me piss myself laughing. Please enjoy.
