Dental Ramblings

Ah, Chowk branches out!

Interesting article! Does anyone remember that nasty little satirist Son of Kingsley, Martin Amis? (I actually, cough! like him). Anyway the story goes he had an Englishman`s teeth (i.e. dreadful) and upon getting a big stinking contract with an American publishing company dropped a great deal of money to get a complete teeth overhaul (hows that for technical dental jargon Mr. Bashir :)). Now his choppers outshine the caps on Mt. Everest....and the limey press gleefully noted so...

vibe #9,

that`s too bad, that technology is getting pretty popular, it`s not just for orthodontists now.

.... now this is what i call good writing ..... really enjoyed it ... thanks

Thank you all for enjoying this piece.

Re: 2,3

Yes i work for the invisalign software development team. Unfortunately Invisalign decided to shut down its operations both in pakistan and in UAE. A very sad moment, not just for the people who put their heart and soul into the ``Align`` dream to make it a success, but also for the future of tech industry in pakistan.

God bless pakistan and its people!!

Certainly provided something to smile about.

A delightful read. Please write more.

This was very funny. Thank you.

Tennessee Williams once wrote ``. . .I had begun to think that a smile was something that people performed by a muscular contraction at the corners of their mouths. In a short while I found out that a smile can be something that happens between the heart and the eyes, and that the muscular spasm about the mouth may be only the shadow of it.``

This could be a masterpiece with some editing to make it a little more tight. Very interestingly written..quite mad :) Keep writing for chowk.

...now i know why i dread those visits to the dentist:)...btw, do you work for align?...

just because some dentists got addicted to nitrous oxide (laughing gas, sweet air..etc) and

overdosed into death and we read about it in newspapers, doesn`t mean dentists are suicidal.

they`re just as much suicidal as physicians, or lawyers etc.

the obsession with smiles and details is a given, comes with the territory of working in millimiters and precision work ethics.

so you work for Invisalign?

this is quite amusing...and now I know why I fastidiously avoid dentists/orthodontists :-)

got a chuckle out of these:

“No mom I cannot marry this girl because she has an abnormally raised palatal dome in what otherwise looks like a perfect face to you.”

Or,

“Yes the girl is pretty and educated but does she have an ideal overbite?`` ``What? Yes? (with an expression of stark disbelief) Ok how about overjet?``
