What an asshole. Sorry OP. Is there another word for OP?
The orthodontist isn't even that bad. He's trying to lighten the situation with a little humor. OP needs the retainer and the orthodontist can't control OP's gag reflex.
Actually they can remove more of the palette acrylic, so that it's not hitting the soft palette (which is what produces gags). As a certified removable retainer fabricator I've dealt with a lot of patients with sensitive gag reflexes. It's a simple fix that they shouldn't charge to do.

Another word for OP is: FML's Author. Are you satisfied with my answer #1? Glad I can help.
Preposterous!
Any practitioner who purposely proposes such preposturous things to their pain-filled patients should be pitifully punished.
Yea, I'd be p- *ungh*... I mean I would be rather angry.

Show it anyway67- Everybody understood that. They were all making a joke.
68, so was 67, who made it obvious.
a pineapple!
Princess Peach? That'll be p.p. then. Don't suck on a p.p.
Pinata?
68, Derp.
I don't think retainers are supposed to cause you this much discomfort.... Maybe get a second opinion? There are so many nice words with a "p"!
Or pickle!
You get used to it after a while. I've had three retainers and a palate widener from ages 6-18, and every one triggered a gag reflex at first, it really sucks (I'd just randomly gag), but after about a week, it settles in.
Such as "pussy"
* don't say penis, don't say penis, don't say penis...* LIKE PENIS!
Why is it always the P that stimulates gag reflexes?
Peanuts. I can't stand the smell or taste of them, they make me wanna gag.
I thought it was the D that normally stimulates the gag reflexes
I thought it was the D that made them, not the p
Ok so make sure that you don't say "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers" or else you might die...
Proper prior preparation prevents perpetual puking.
You'll get used to it eventually. Unless you wanna just trim the part that causes you to gag
That sounds really painful. Maybe you could just trim the retainer instead.
93- I'm sorry, you either trolled me so hard it clipped my head as it went by, but I'm sure he meant the retainer (:
I knew what he meant but when I first read it I was also thinking about cutting off the part of your mouth that makes you gag (maybe I'm just a freak that way) so I decided to make a joke out of it.
Hope you don't need to say the word hippopotamus
