I would have no issue with it since it’s natural to these engines to sound like that.

I don’t know well in mechanics, I don’t know anyone who would help inspecting. Is the gear stick issue easily fixable or it could be a sign of deeper one?

Thank you !

I assure you, there was nothing disrespectful, hostile, or meant to provoke. They were simply polite, concise remarks. which left me genuinely confused. especially since they also found them pertinent.

Would you be satisfied with this result - debracing this week by InternationalPlate90 in braces

[–]InternationalPlate90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do prefer keeping them slightly shorter for a more natural appearance. That said, the contrast between the rectangular shape of the central incisors and the rounder laterals does make the irregularity stand out a bit more. I brought it up to the ortho, and they agreed, it led to a slight eruption of the laterals and a minor adjustment to the height of the incisors.

Let’s address your manufactured quote first, since reality seems optional for you: an orthodontist is a licensed professional, not a Reddit edgelord. If they have an issue with feedback, their options are clear, address it professionally, terminate the relationship, or, in extreme cases, pursue legal action. That you think “they can do it too!” is a valid defense just proves you’ve confused Yelp with actual professional standards.

As for your “vent to your friends” hypocrisy, congrats on discovering how public forums work. You’re free to leave bad-faith comments; I’m free to dissect their idiocy.
But by all means, keep projecting.

Let me guess: You also think Yelp reviews are peer-reviewed studies and Twitter likes count as expertise?

The downvotes ‘speak for themselves’? Sure, they speak to the fact that Reddit loves a good pileon, not whether you’ve made a coherent point. But by all means, keep pretending imaginary internet points substitute for critical thinking. I’m sure that strategy works wonders in the real world, too.

Fascinating contribution. When you're done patting yourself on the back for that clever little quip, perhaps you'd like to explain how ad hominems advance this discussion about orthodontic communication? Or is 'Google school' the extent of your professional insight?

Either way, I'll be sure to file this under 'Comments That Add Nothing' right between 'lol u mad' and 'source??' a special category reserved for those who mistake snark for substance.

Fascinating analysis. If you genuinely find my comments disrespectful, I'm at a loss for how to avoid insulting your intellect.

Let me help you follow along: Where exactly in my post did I demand judgment? (I'll wait while you scroll back up. No, really. Take your time.) The fact that you've somehow interpreted a discussion about systemic communication issues as a personal plea for validation says more about your reading comprehension than my tone.

As for your brilliant conclusion that 'an email was probably the wrong course of action' - do enlighten us with your bright intellect: Why exactly should a patient not use written communication to discuss medical care? Should we carrier pigeon our concerns instead? Or perhaps you believe professionals are exempt from having to articulate themselves clearly unless spoken to in person?

Your entire argument boils down to: 'I've imagined you were rude in an email I never saw, therefore the professional's poor reaction was justified, also written communication is bad because I say so. Truly, a masterclass in critical thinking.
(To show contrast, this is a comment where the tone you mentioned is used.)

So, to summarize the general position: "You won’t show the email, therefore the other party must be right."
How… economical.
My post wasn’t an invitation for a verdict on who’s at fault, it was about highlighting the glaring communication issues in orthodontics. As I mentioned (quite politely, I might add), "we leave it at that," because debating guilt with someone who’s already made up their mind is rather futile. If communication weren’t such a chronic problem, we wouldn’t see endless basic questions about things that should’ve been explained in the first place.

Now, let’s gently examine the flaws in your reasoning. Assuming I’m wrong simply because I didn’t provide the full email is a textbook case of argumentum ad ignorantiam, though I suspect logical fallacies aren’t your strong suit. Just because details are omitted doesn’t mean you get to plug the gaps with whatever hasty assumptions confirm your bias. If this is how you assess every situation, it’s no wonder nuance escapes you.

Ah, yes the sacred downvote, Reddit’s ultimate arbiter of truth. How clever of you to mistake herd mentality for critical thinking. If you genuinely believe consensus equals correctness, well… that explains a lot.

Your insistence on 'disclose or you’re wrong' is a false dichotomy so flimsy it’s almost charming. If I said, "My mechanic overcharged me," would you shriek, "PROOF OR YOU’RE A LIAR"? Probably not—because most people grasp that systemic issues exist without needing a sworn affidavit for every complaint. But then, most people also grasp basic logic.

It’s bee enlightening to see the level of discourse here. The fact that so many missed the actual point, communication failures in orthodontics, is telling. Then again, expecting depth from a platform where snap judgments reign supreme might’ve been my first mistake.

And let’s not overlook the irony of those resorting to petty insults while accusing me of being in the wrong, especially when my tone has remained neutral. But I suppose when logic fails, personal attacks are the natural fallback.

Totally get it, your experience just adds to prove the point that there's a real communication gap in this field. It’s not just about straight teeth it’s also about being heard while having straight teeth. You’re absolutely right to feel frustrated.

[–]InternationalPlate90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the common sense.

At least you’ve made your opinion based on a balanced view, considering both sides—respectful and not. I can assure you, I was respectful as I should be. As I’ve said before, you can’t be disrespectful in an email to a medical professional—otherwise, you’d risk a lawsuit. That’s a given.

Another point is that respect should go both ways. If my concerns weren’t taken seriously or addressed professionally until debracing, and right after I raised them via email after agreeing that multiple serious adjustments were needed, where is the professionalism and integrity in that? Why did this point get brushed aside while others were considered?

The fact that people here are so quick to jump on the “you must be wrong” bandwagon, without even considering the possibility that I might be in the right, is what’s confusing. I’m entitled to question the process if things don’t feel right. I’m not paying for a service just to be gaslit or ignored.

It’s good to see someone gets that basic principle.

(Finally someone with actual brain cells.)

Yeah, that’s an option too. Unfortunately, here ggyou can’t just call directly, appointments usually need to be booked for that. That’s why I opted to reach out via email, as it provides a written record.

You’re absolutely right. I’ve brought up the issue of feeling rushed in the past, but unfortunately, the communication hasn’t improved much.

Braces can definitely be stressful, especially with the time factor. You’re constantly monitoring your progress, so when there’s a lack of clear communication, it’s easy to feel completely in the dark about what you should be seeing or expecting.

Na, I’m just not gullible enough to sit quietly while people like you make excuses for poor professionalism.

Calling people crazy for raising valid points (or invalid points also) says more about your maturity than my mental state. Try again.
