I had holes drilled into the roof of my mouth for two of my teeth that were stuck, and couldn't grow down on their own. It wasn't pleasurable. Everytime I was to eat for about a week afterwards, my mouth would explode with blood and extreme pain.

I also had braces. I had them for a long time. 3-4 years. I only got my braces off in February this year! I had teeth problems, but the end result was worth it.
