Getting Braces

(R4080)

短文

Getting Braces

Paul was getting braces. He was turning thirteen, and his parents decided it was a good time for him to get them. Paul had an overbite, and his teeth were very crooked. Braces were expensive, but he had to get them. He scheduled an appointment for the next day. He was scared and thought it would hurt.

The orthodontist looked at his teeth and took several pictures and X-rays. Then he told Paul that he was going to put the braces on. Paul was nervous, but it didn’t hurt as much as he expected. After the orthodontist was done, Paul felt relieved. It felt strange to have metal on his teeth, though. He also had trouble eating. His parents bought him some ice cream.
