Poll: Braces

[PureChaos]

don't have them. my teeth aren't bad just slightly overcrowded. nearly got braces but i would have had to of had about 6 teeth out, braces for 2 years and there would be gaps in my teeth. spoke to some friends and they all said my teeth were fine as they were so decided against it

 

[Alon Shechter]

Had them for six years. Had specialist surgery twice. Six teeth removed. Was allergic to the latex bands they use.

You think you know suffering?

Oh dear...

 

[Slaanax]

I had braces from 6th through 8th grade that was over 10 years ago though.

 

[Sliverwings]

Don't have them anymore, just wear your retainer when you get 'em trust me. Oh, and you might have scars on the inside of your mouth.

 

[Oh That Dude]

I have braces and they are horrible, I have half a year left untill I get them off but that still doesn't meen I dont suffer every time they get tightened, so who else has braces?
Edit: Hmmm, it seems my poll options disappeared, oh well.

hey, i have something to tell you. this is a secret no one tells you about when wearing braces. once you get them taken off you need to wear a retainer for the rest of your life. and if you break one you need to pay $150 whenever you break one of them, and you might need to wear two like me.

WRONG because mine are paid for by the Gov'mint. Broken them twice myself and had a friend do it for me another time. With a fucking hat. I'm still not sure how exactly he did it.

Did any on get those holes on the front of there teeth the dentists says you can get if you dont brush them well.

 

[Kialee]

I have a teensy bit of an overbite (really, it's not noticeable unless I point it out to people, which I've done a few times) and that'd be the only reason to get them.
With my parents being the poor mooks they are/were when I was younger, though, I never got them. Now that I'm poor on my own, I don't really care to get them now, either.

I will forever be overbiting.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Never got braces (suprisingly), my teeth's hygene is poor but their position is good enough to not need braces.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I've had my braces for three flippin' years.
I'll be getting them off in a couple of months though. Lookin' forward to that.

 

[Jonluw]

I had braces for a period. It wasn't all that bad. I'd consider it the least annoying part of my excperience with jaw orthopedics.

 

[dragdev]

Ironicly enough ive JUST got my braces today i dont realy find them that much of a pain

 

[Furious Styles]

I have almost perfectly straight teeth so do not know the pain of braces, my friends always complained about them.

 

[Sneaky llama]

I have them and they suck and elastics are twatish and do nothing!

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Had them for five godfucked years. Got rid of them two years ago.
Made me talk with a mouth half open, noe people can't understand me for shit.
And they didn't even fix what they were supposed to. I'm angry

 

[Phlakes]

I had them for two and a half years, and now my teeth look so much better. I also had rubber bands to correct my overbite.

They really weren't as bad as I expected. They only hurt for a day or two after they were tightened, and they occasionally cut my mouth, but I never had a bracket come off or a broken something, so I guess I was lucky.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I had braces for about a year - gave me jaw ache for a day after having it tightened, but wasn't so bad really.

 

[unoleian]

Had a small upper palate, overcrowding in my uppers, and a few of my upper teeth would occasionally snag on my lowers while chewing in a most painful fashion. Had this crazy device with a screw installed across the roof of my mouth to slowly widen my upper jaw. Turned it once a day, could actually FEEL my palate getting bigger. Crazy. Did the whole braces thing. A crazy installation routine of rubber bands every day. Was plugging upwards of six of those little bastards into ridiculous patterns on those hooks on each side every day for MONTHS!

Worst three years of my life, in some respects. The constant pulling, tugging, pressure, the constant maintenance of snapped bands, the hamburger that was the inside of my cheeks from catching on the metal installations almost constantly... But the payoff? Damn. Well worth it. I got a killer grill now. Looks gorgeous. No more of those painful tooth collisions. The simple act of eating went from an exercise in concentration to not almost kill another tooth to something I could just...do. Win, I say.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I had braces for a while, I don't any longer though.. I'm very glad I don't. It felt really weird when they took them off. You're in for a strange (maybe painful) experience. I was just kidding about the painful (or was I? *dun dun DUN!*)

 

[Vunts]

I've had em when I was smaller, didn't enjoy them.
Seen other people with braces, not cool.
Seen girls with braces. Really uncool.

I get that they are useful in the long run, but seeing them is awful.

 

[Flamezdudes]

I used to have them and i had them for about a year. They really hurt the first two weeks and i was unable to eat solid food, seriously.
