So. The dentist wants to break my jaw and fix my overbite. I'm thinking I could eBay the chance to break my jaw and make an assload of money off of fandom.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

BWAH!
I would never break your jaw.
(But hey, take a fuckload of Demerol beforehand and make some bucks.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Will they bid on a chance to break my jaw?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Forget tachyons and positrons. Forget Shatner, holodecks, rayguns and self-aware computers. Pfah. Unnecessary.
Just so long as they have to reverse something's polarity, it's all good.

We'll fight amongst ourselves for the opportunity. Last kravver standing gets to do it.

I'm mostly leaning toward not getting this done. It will change the shape of my face, and I like my face just fine, I even like my overbite. Adds character, or something.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Why does the dentist want to do this now? That sounds like a whole lot of no fun to go through. There would have to be a pretty compelling medical reason for me to agree to it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Alyson, they're gonna break your lower jaw?
I had an overbite that orthodontia alone could not fix. So they did that surgery where they removed a portion of my upper jaw. Now everything is hunky-dory. But the six weeks with my jaw wired shut was not fun.
edit:
There would have to be a pretty compelling medical reason for me to agree to it.
For me, anyway, they told me that because my teeth didn't line up where my jaw wanted them to (or vice-versa) I would eventually get arthritis of the jaw.
