Braces

[Wuggly Blight]

I Had em for a year, You never get the taste of puty out, it hurt and I hated it!

I got them in when I was 12 and my teeth have now moved enough to start removing them. It wasnt that my teeth were that bad but they would have gotten worse had I not gotten braces. I think the reason english people get taunted about teeth isnt totally because there teeth are naturally bad but because theres a large lack of dentists there.

I had them for almost two years, back in the sixth grade. Afterwards, I of course had a retainer, but as the first one lit on fire one day, and the toher i snapped in half, I don't have one any more. ;_; That's all right, though. I'm glad I had them when I did---young, so I could get it over with quickly. My two front teeth were in an upside down v-shape. Not anymore, though.

When I was young like 3rd - 5th grade, some of my teeth posed outward a little but over the years, they magically fixed themselves! Now, I have near perfect teeth w/o braces! Yay for me!

I've needed them all my life, but we could never afford them. That's ok, most people tell me I have one of the most beautiful smiles they've ever seen, so I'm ok with it being crooked.

lol another thing that sucks about braces is that when you first get them on, they give you a list of what you shouldnt eat.

honestly, how many of you TRUTHFULLY went accordingly to that piece of paper?

I had them for a year and a half or so, got them off my Freshman year. My little sister will probably be getting the same, as I understand she is developing the freakish vampire-like fangs that I had.

I had braces for 4 painful, long, patheti annoying years. From fourth grade-seventh grade. I got them off at 21 Jan 2000. I still celebrate that day.

Developing mini-canines is not the result of lack of braces. Braces only move teeth, they don't restructure them. The "sharp" teeth that you see is usually from years of wear and tear of certain eating habits(both consumable and nonconsumable). Almost everyone has them...I think it's kind of cute on some people.

I broke mine eating a toffee... hurray for toffee, it made the whole thing cave in! it was a hideous contraption also designed to change the postion of my jaw, basicly it has a large wire on my mouth bridge and two elastic bands conecting the bottom brace with the one on the top brace. I lothed my brace, I didnt even get a what food at avoid... and I had 4 healthy teeth removed, it hurt and bleed for AGES. braces and corrective denistry are the tools of the devil!

[boris no no]

i had braces for 2 and a half years and they hurt like hell!! i've got scar on the inside of my cheeks because of the wires!
i do kinda miss them tho! i had the whole cute school girl thing going!
i wear a retainer at night now, had it almost a year and i've broken it already! i have to pay £80 for a new one, money i do not have!

i had my brace because i had cross jaw, my bottom jaw went over the top and i had really wonky front teeth! the two next to the big front ones (have NO idea on the name!) were completely hidden behind the others!

oh and plus brittains are obsest with teeth too! we just have the NHS to pay for them!! yeay!
