My kid needs medically necessary jaw surgery, of which $8K *isn't* covered. A year of specialty orthodontics before that (vast majority of that not covered). Another year of orthodontics after, plus two dental implants after that. We're looking at $30K+ out of pocket in all over the next few years.

Look at that flee ridden sewer dweller, and this is in 256p, imagine seeing him in 4k before the plastic surgey, $300k in orthodontics and enough hairplugs to turf a stadium.

Today's lesson in social anxiety/ AuDHD
Turning up late to school because of an appointment is a deal breaker
Teen can't cope with the questions, e.g. "where have you been?" is too intrusive
Also had to navigate orthodontics appt where we hadn't a clue what was going to happen (I had words)

I wrote a post on LinkedIn about how bad things are in the U.S. and I got this response from an orthodontist in Florida who thinks I should just play more golf.
It belongs in a museum of Comfortable White Guys' Takes on Politics.

Nearly every part of modern dentistry and orthodontics involves—and is enhanced by—plastic, @ZoeSchlanger reports. But the potential harm to patient health is still poorly understood. https://theatln.tc/G488Vri0

Modern Dentistry Is a Microplastic Minefield
Dentists and orthodontists depend heavily on plastics and are beginning to weigh the tradeoffs.

You can with parental consent. You can also get an insulin pump, though. Or orthodontics. Or any number of other permanent medical treatments.

i had a consultation for braces as a kid but my mum heard the quoted cost and was like "lol no"
so now i either have to spend MORE money for more invasive orthodontics or live with jacked up alignment and two impacted teeth and the knock on effects of each
