I'm so happy

[NeoTifa]

I can see my teeth again for the first time in 6-7 years. I can finally brush them good. I can finally floss good. I can bleach my teeth. I can smile and not cut my lips. I can eat without having to clean my teeth out after every bite. I can eat apples and steak and caramel again. Ahhhhh.... relief


Have you ever had braces?

[Rye]

I'm one of the only people I know who never had to have braces. Now my teeth are getting a little less straight ever since my wisdom teeth started coming in so I should get a retainer, but I'm scared.

[Caraliz]

I have had braces for 2 years. My teeth were jacked up, yo. Jr. High was braces time. I had an expander, rubber bands and stupid braces of course. And then I got a permanent retainer put in so I will always have straight teeth! One of the things people first notice about me are how straight my teeth are. They were not always this way... >;c

[NeoTifa]

They said I was only going to have them on for 3 years. They spent the other three or four trying to fix my midline. My bottom teeth refuse to move, so we all just gave up and took them off. They're still not even. I even doubled up on my rubber bands trying to move them.

When I first read that, I was all

Never had braces. I need them. I want to get the fancy invisible kind.

[NeoTifa]

That's what my retainer looks like.

Make sure you wear your retainer. I didn't and my bottom teeth are all crooked again

I had an EXTREEEEME overbite, so they had all kindsa metal stuff in there. My personal favorite was the herbst. The top part had two sleeves and the bottom part had two arms that went in the sleeves, so I had to put it back together every time I yawned. Also whenever anyone asked wtf I had in my mouth I would say "I have a herbst." "What, you have herpes?!"

[Breine]

Never. I've always been really lucky when it comes to my teeth. They've always been nice and straight, and I've only had like one cavity in my life.

Oh, I did have a tooth ache as a kid, though, and I had to have the tooth pulled out. But yeah, one cavity and a tooth ache is like my entire dental history.

[Blue Harvest]

Nope, never had them.

[Psychotic]

Had 'em for a couple of years when I was 11-13. My teeth were (and are I suppose) way advanced. Like I had the mouth of a 18 year old or something. Either way, they're straight as they come now.

What, you have herpes?!

[scrumpleberry]

I had to have to have braces separately on both top and bottom for some slight crowding, the time I had them totalled to about 2 years and 4 months. But my orthodontist was excellent, I was really happy with the treatment I got and now my teeth are doing great Mmmm straight

It feels SO WEIRD when you get them taken off

Rye: Do it do it do it. You will regret it if you don't, and the earlier you see someone about it the better, and then you can have beyoootiful teeth again!

[Vermachtnis]

I've never had herpes. Or braces.

Pretty much exactly what happened to me.

[Avarice-ness]

I got my braces when I was like 13 I got them off at 15 or so, Now I just have a permanent retainer, so I never have to worry about my teeth becoming crooked. I've always wondered if I could break it off my teeth, but I don't plan on trying. xD
