Yeah, I got them two weeks ago. Yeah, they sucked for a while. But I don't notice them as much anymore except for when I'm eating.

So, does anyone else here have braces or is getting them in the near future?

[MysticWarrior]

I got them around 4 weeks ago. They make me feel like an old man when I eat stuff. The kind that needs to have their foods chewed because their teeth hurts.

Wow, not only does he act like a grandpa, he feels like one too.


I had them for a year. Now I have a retainer.

[Mysterious Adept]

i had braces for almost a year, and at the beginning they were a pain, but after a while you don't notice them, thats the good part:). the bad part is when your lip gets stuck in them:(! then ...........ooo horrible!!

[Lightning Star]

yeah, I've had mine for almost two years. You'd think I'd be getting them off soon, but nooo. 'cause my orthodontist is an idiot >>. he's worn off the bottoms of my top teeth from they way he put the brackets on.

yeah, sometimes they get annoying. last night I was eating dinner and I kept poking my cheek from my braces; it was a pain in the rear-end.

[TheEnglishman]

I haven't had braces or fillings on my teeth at all. It's weird because I tend to drink a lot of coke and I sometimes forget to brush my teeth. :P

[Saturos S.]

I had braces for a year and a half. Although I didn't really feel them anymore I was glad when they were taken out.

Never had filling either

[Toasty]

I've had 3 or 4 fillings, I've lost all my baby teeth, and if my new teeth don't come down right, I'll probably have to get braces. D:

[Sea of Time]

Me111, that's not what causes you to get braces. That just causes cavities. XD

[Mathak Kraven]

I know from my friends you start spit talking, which looks sounds pretty funny too.

I never had braces, luckily, I would hate having them.

[Kikuichimonji]

Haha SoT

I had them and they were horrible in that I couldn't chew gum.

I did it anyway but you know, it got all stuck between the brackets and it was tres messy :D

[Blink]

Yeah, I have 'em. Since August. I should get them off before August of 07.

I've got braces, but they are removable, so I only wear them at night. They don't bother me too much. Though they can be quite painful. Ouch!

I know that. I was just saying that my teeth aren't perfect. :D

[Wiflewood]

I've had them since september. My teeth don't need moving a lot though, so I should be getting them off in a couple of months. I know some people who ahev had to wear them for at least 2 years.

My brother has been wearing removable braces since he was about 7. He's 20 now. :D

[Sea of Time]

I haven't done any unnecessary spitting, they're not all that uncomfortable once you get used to them. :D

[Toasty]

The only problem with braces once their off, is that you have to wear a clear plastic mold on your teeth to keep them from getting crooked. But usually that's only for a while I think.I know that 'cause my sister got hers off the summer of last year.

[Aquamarine]

I never knew my braces were so cool compared to all of yours. All I have to do is put my hand in my mouth, take them out and that's it! I can go all day without them! And then, before going to bed, I just put them back in my mouth. Or I don't if I don't want to. My braces rule!

[Sea of Time]

Oh, I hate you now Aqua. :D So damn lucky!

At least the ones today are a lot smaller than the braces from about ten years ago.

[Gardna]

Thankfully i've never had such problems. My classmate has to wear the night-braces, they're shining in the darkness ^^

[My Best Wishes]

I've had mine since Feb. Biggest pains are no corn on the cob and the ulcers they cause -_-

But they're not as bad as I thought. But again I do hate the ulcers and how the left over wire cuts the inside of your cheek.

[PDM]

Note to self; do not bring giant magnet to GSSF.

I didn't think so many of you would have braces.

And, Aqua, by removable braces, do you mean you use a retainer? x.x

[pHantOm]

I had them to close a gap between my teeth, I had them for 9 months and now I have a retainer, which I never wear and now my teeth have started to move back. So I have been wearing it ALOT hoping it will push them back...>_<

[Sea of Time]

Lol@PDM

You will join us....

He probably means a retainer, after I get the real stuff off, I have to put a retainer on for about six months just to keep them straight.

[Someone Else]

3 more months, then mine get removed!! -_-

[My Best Wishes]

My sister's were really bad. Had 5 teeth removed then braces for 2.5 years, didn't wear her retainer so her 5k smile is phucked. Parents=Pissed!

You know they really aren't that bad, and it's good that so many people have them now so if someone tries to bag someone know one really cares.

Er... they... may... be retainers. I guess they are, though I always thought they were called braces too. Just that they were removable. -_- Oh well, you live and learn.

You mean the "invisible" kind?

By the way, the more you don't wear them, the more you'll have to CONTINUE to wear them...

Actually, if you don't wear them for long enough, your teeth will just go back to "normal". -_-

[Sea of Time]

That's what happened with my first retainer. So I've got the full package now and I've got to keep it for another sixteen months. -_-

Yeah, I know. That's why I almost always wear them at night. The only times I don't is when I come back late from being out with friends. I'm usually very tired then and I can't bother getting them.

Anyway, a few years ago I didn't wear them all the time and the dentist was all like "You'll need real braces soon." so I started to wear them and now my teeth are much better. Yay!

[My Best Wishes]

What type do you all have? My health cover package is paying the vast majority for my braces so I have the 'invisible' ones, they actually are quit hard to see from just a few steps away :o

[Neon]

I need braces.

I should have had them put in, like, 5 years ago, but the dentists that do the school rounds are ****ing idiots that don't have a clue what they're doing.

I used to do that with my rubber bands that help get your jaw straight, but the orthodontics people complained... so I have to wear them all day. Maybe it's different for what you do though. Dunno, just trying to help. =)

Yea that sucks. I have to have them now in year 10 when I could've had them in year 8 :o

If you read my first post you'd know I got them awhile ago and now have them no longer. :)

[Sea of Time]

I make those sort of mistakes pretty much once a month. D: Sorry, buddy.

Gah, I have to go get mine tightened on Monday which is pretty much just going back to the start as far as pain is concerned. Oh well, though, just something you've got to live with.

[Lemontime]

Braces really aren't that bad.. Maybe if you're a wuss.. But seriously, they're fine after a week, do hardly even notice them..
The worst part is the first two NIGHTS.. - Shudder -
I've had mine since January..
Only... Like.. 14 months to go :o'
