i tried explaining to my parents multiple times but they dont even wanna hear it. And the ortho even said to my face that she will recess me by a couple of mm. My parents also signed a contract years ago that if we dont agree with anything the orstho does we have to pay 8k. I only have about 4k but even if i had 8k, my parents wouldnt let me spend even a single $ (or euro cuz im from EU). It might just be over
