Braces

[Kikinchikin]

Right now my teeth hurt like crazy cuz i just got my braces tightened. I was wondering, how many of yall have had or have braces and what did you/do you think of em?

[Rbstr]

I did and i hated when they got tightened but otherwise they weren't that bad, now the retainer on the otherhand sucks especialy the bottom one, gives you a lispy kind of thing

[Corrosion]

I had braces 2 years ago.

[OneManArmy]

yup, I had em. they sucked.

[Jaged]

Ugh, I remember when I had braces. The day I got those pieces of shit off was the best day of my life.

[Spee]

I had braces. never wore my retainer a day in my life. Perfect teeth. w00t for laziness.


Dont take that advice though. like 99% of people who dont wear thier retainer get shitty teeth.

[Angel_of_Death]

I don't wear my retainer, haven't for a while...since I got my braces off in October. Happiest day of my life, getting those fuckin tracks off.

[ghost018]

I hated them. They've been gone for a few years now.

Indeed
My teeth aren't great but aren't bad, I didn't wear my retainers either. I don't need a lisp and an annoyance while trying to sleep

[apachepilotpat]

i thought the day i got them off was great but a day later(yesterday) i got a retainer and it hurts like a bitch

[Kyonye]

had them, only 6 months luckily...also had the teeth spreading thingy device that goes on the top of your mouth....fucking teeth spreading thingy device....food always got stuck above it....but that was 6th grade, a long time ago

[I Hate Pants]

Never wore braces in my life, and will most likely never have to.

[Derfud]

I had then for 2 years, got them off last year. Now I have a single bottom retainer, but it doesnt give me a lithp.

The permanent one, I think you're talking about. I got that at the bottom, can hardly tell it's there.

[Derfud]

It's not permanent, the dentist said they would be taking it out any day now... any day now... any day now... That was 65 years ago... Wait... Yeah... Any day now...

[Triggar]

I had braces from sixth grade until ninth. Got them off and got a sweet-ass retainer, it was a clear, thin plastic mouthguard-typed thing. Couldn't even tell I had it on. Then one day, I put it in my pocket and forgot to take it out, and my mom put my pants in the laundry, and the retainer broke. My orthodontist gave me a crappy replacement and I never wore it, and now my bottom teeth are perfectly snaggled and my top row of teeth aren't all the same length anymore. Oh well!

[OneManArmy]

yea i never wore my retainer but fuck that, after my jaw surgery last year none of htat stuff matterd. so take that braces/retainer and all the money that went with it!

[Hamma]

I had braces for a short time, never did the retainer shit either.

[Squeeky]

I had braces, retainers, and lots of other stuff in my mouth ;)

[Bighoss]

I had braces 3 years ago, man did it suck. I remeber one time they were tightened way to much to the point where I intentionally broke a few off to make the pain stop. Its mostly because they kept me up for 48 hours out of pain and couldn't eat anything that lead me to do it. I stopped wearing my retainers, man those were a hassle. My teath aren't exactly perfect now but they're good enough.

[Smaug]

Still have mine ... It's been about 5 years iirc. I've had braces, 2 herbst appliances, several retainers, rubberbands, just alot of shit. The worst had to be the herbst appliance, if you've ever had one you would know what I mean. They put huge metal telescoping rods in your mouth(almost look like car shocks) so that they can get rid of your overbite. The first doctor I had used a huge one, but the second time I had it it was alot smaller because the guy had some patent or what have you.

I'm supposed to get mine off in about a month or two and finally be done. Right now I'm supposed to wear 3 different rubberbands, all going different ways and I can't remember for shit which ones go where so I don't wear those.

[Indecisive]

I had braces on the top for about a year. Wore my retainer all the time. Damn that thing was a bitch. Hurt more then the braces.

I was supposed to get another full set of braces, but the dentist said that I was good, and it wasnt worth it. Yay.

[Electrofreak]

Never had braces. My teeth are in pretty good shape I guess.

[Kikinchikin]

Yeah what's the deal with retainers? I've heard you wear em for a few months, and then I've heard that some people wear them forever. If it's the latter, then screw that.

Anyway I currently have this big metal thing on the roof of my mouth (maybe that herbst thing because I know it's for overbite), I'm supposed to be wearing 3 rubber bands, and I have two powerchains as well as some new type of wire. I actually stayed home the day after I got em tightened because I couldn't think with all the pain. Good news is I get em off in a month or two (at latest August).

[Hamma]

Retainers depend on your case i think, how focked up your teeth are/were

[Kikinchikin]

Yeah, but aren't they for holding your teeth in theh places they were moved by the braces? If that's what they are for, then it seems like you'd have to wear it forever. Oh well, I guess I'll ask my ortho.

[BUGGER]

I need braces, my bottem teath are shit. The top is all about perfect besides for the two front teath, one tooth is alittle over the other one.

Bah i jsut planely need to go to the dentist, I got cavities(sp) all over the place, i haven't eated candy since....halloween.... I still got easter candy sitting in the fridge.....and its the good kind..... :tear:

[Jennyboo]

I Never had braces ..i could use them to strighten out a few teeth ..my parents couldent afford them :P

[Dharkbayne]

I had them for 6 months in the 3rd-4th grade, it fucking sucked. Braces mu8st die.

[Incompetent]

I had braces for about year and a half, they fucking sucked. Got them off a year ago, wore my retainer for about two days before i decided it was worse. Teeth are still fine, not as good as they looked when i got the fucking things off but nothing major wrong with them.

[Smaug]

I think that's called a pallette expander, its for widening your top teeth. I had that one too. The thing you turn with a key, if we're talking about the same thing. Ther herbst appliance is different, it has metal telescoping rods on the sides.

[firecrackerNC]

I need braces and all but I cant bring myself to get them.You'd have to drug me and knock me out first.After seeing people with them spit and slober I find it kinda sick so im waiting for invisaline or something but NEVER braces

[Vick]

They give everyone braces now, glad I didnt have to deal with that bullshit.

[Mr1337Duck]

Had 'em. Got 'em off at the beginning of the year. Happiest day, EVAR!

[Neon Apocalypse]

i got mine off in october, they weren't so bad

now i have a retainer which i never wear and when i do i can't sleep because it hurts so much so i never wear it

[oddfish]

i have one of those clear plastic-y type retainers.. it kicks ass. i wear it because why not? no one notices and it's keeping my teeth from going all to fuckay.

[WildEagle]

WildEagle then breaks down and cries as he removes his dentures.

[OfaLoaf]

My teeth resemble those of a sterotypical retarded person's. Huge gap in the front top two teeth, I used to stick a straw in between them.

Never had braces, and I refuse to get them. Even if I had straight and perfectly white teeth, girls would still avoid me.
