Yeah, so i was wondering, have any of you guys here at PC had or have braces (for your teeth)? If so, did you like them? Did they get in the way? Do you never want them? Are you getting them?

I have had a set of train track braces in my life, but that was only when i was in my childhood. They were OK, but it got annyoing because i wasn't allowed gum or fizzy drinks. Luckily they're off now and i have awesome teeth :D. How about you?

I had a bottom bridge when I was I was about... 12 years of age, around that time I had two teeth taken out that didn't have any foundation for new teeth to grow within the gum. So I had to deal with having a brace for six months before they decided to put two false teeth in the gaps.

I had teeth-straightening devices in my mouth since the 2nd grade, with expanders.

Kept those 'till I got braces in the 5th grade. They sucked even more.

Luckily, I got 'em off in the beginning of the year. Now I wear a retainer when I sleep.

So yeah, worst 7 years of my mouth's life.

I've also had 5 teeth pulled.

Yes. My teeth were really terrible, I suppose.

- Got braces for the top four teeth when I was around 8, I think?
- Had something to expand my upper jaw. Twice.
- Had the top four braces taken off for a bit and was given a retainer in middle grade (7th grade, I think).
- Had a full set put in, eventually.
- Had headgear twice. The first was only for night, and it wrapped behind my head. The second went over my face. Thankfully, I only had to wear it at home.
- Had numerous teeth pulled in the process.

They were eventually removed when I was 15, and I was given a removable top retainer and a cemented bottom retainer, which is still there. I kind of need to go to a dentist. >>;;

My teeth are straight, though! :D

I had braces in grade 7-9, for exactly two years. Starting in April '04 and ended in April '06. It was a long and annoying two years. Every month or so would be painful stuff. I'm glad I got them now though, my teeth are really nice. So much better than before I had them. They are definitely worth the time and money.

I have braces on right now. I just got chains put on a week ago to close up the gaps in between my teeth. I still have to wear braces for one more year at the most. I can't say I like them, but I like what they do for me. I've gotten into injuries with them, though. XD;

I hate the fact that every time you get them tightened, your teeth get sore. I mean, you can only eat soft things for a whole week.

I want to get my straight teeth faster. ;w;

I've never had braces, and never will have them.
My teeth are tightly packed in without any gaps, resulting in two not being in line with the rest, but they pose no trouble. I have wisdom teeth now coming through without a problem, which is good because I've been wanting more chewing space. xD

I don't consider myself lucky, just possessing a mouth that is pretty much how any other should be. :0
I am lucky however in having free white fillings for medical reasons. :D

I've never had braces and even though I don't urgently need them, I'd still like my teeth to be a little more straightened. I may end up never getting them, but if I have kids, I'll probably force them to get braces. They'll thank me later in life.

I have had braces, still do, actually. I got them just over two years ago, and was only supposed to have them in for a year. But last year we realized that none of my 12 year old molars were growing in, and when they took an x-ray or whatever they saw that my wisdom teeth were completely blocking them from growing in. So I had to get surgery to remove my wisdom teeth, and then it was just a year wait for the molars to grow in completely and get aligned. I also had something to expand my upper jaw for about 6 months. It was TORTURE, do you realize how hard it is to talk with a bar in your mouth? x_x; Apparently, that's when my gayness reached my voice, because before then I had a normal voice, and after I got it off I have a slight gay slur (apparently, I can't hear it myself D:). But I got that off over a year ago, and I'm getting my braces off December 18th~ :D

Well, I had braces for about a year and I still have to wear them for another year. It really sucks the first few weeks, but I got used to them and now I don't even know it's there, except for the cuts in my mouth by all that metal...yeouch x_x'' After my braces are taken off in about a year, I have to get my wisdom teeth extracted. >>

No. But I need them. I hate my teeth. I wasn't blessed with straight teeth, or really good ones to be exact. I brush them twice a day and they are still meh. Oh well, someday I will fix them :3

Remember the way I was, for me.

Had braces...they suck. A lot. But I'm definitely glad I got them: the younger you have them, the better it is. Entering high school with mangled teeth (kinda) then having braces in your senior picture is not fun at all. So appreciate your teeth those of you who don't have to have them.

I take ultima care of my choppers since I've gotten them off. It took awhile to get my awesome white shine in but it's there. XD I also floss regularly ^______^

Once, when I was young and foolish(yah, it's a joke). My canine pops out in the wrong place, so my dentist have no choice but to put braces on them.

I have braces right now, but I'm getting them off next June, if not sooner. My teeth weren't even that bad to be honest, but apparently I still needed them because my jawline was "off" somehow.

Braces don't really bother me much, except when I have to get them tightened. Then they hurt for like a day or so. Sometimes they don't even make my mouth ache at all.

I had them for like three-four years or so on the top. When I went to get them on the bottom, my jaw aligned with my mouth in a way that was awkward and the braces popped off before I got home from the orthodontist XD

So now my top row is straight but my bottom row is messed up. It gets annoying sometines because there is a tooth that comes out more than the others.
