In the episode titled "Orthodontic Police," Cow and Chicken must deal with a new threat in town: the Orthodontic Police, a group of dental professionals who are determined to straighten out everyone's teeth, whether they like it or not. When the Orthodontic Police come to town, they quickly get to work on correcting every smile they can find, using bizarre tools and methods that are equal parts frightening and funny.

As she tries to deal with this unexpected development, Cow encounters a number of strange creatures who each offer her different advice on how to handle her new appendage.
From the "voice of reason" who suggests she seek medical help, to the "dark side" who advises her to use her new eye for spying and mischief, Cow is bombarded with conflicting input as she tries to figure out what to do. Along the way, she learns some lessons about the importance of individuality and the danger of trying to conform to others' expectations.
