Pretty much. As far as your mouth is concerned, your teeth are now misplaced, so they'll move back without any further reinforcement.

Though eventually your teeth will learn to live with it, so you'll be able to take it off for longer periods of time.

Though you should always ask your dentist or whatever.

When I was a kid, my teeth were so messed up it was scary. x;
Braces and several jaw appliances (I had a nasty overbite, as well) later, and my teeth are fine. Somehow. ?_?

Chris, did you only have to wear the headgear at night?

I had one a long time ago to wear at night, but I didn't actually wear it enough for it to work haha. So I ended up with metal bars in my mouth to pull my jaw the right way. You couldn't even see them, though. It worked a lot better, considering I was unable to completely take out something that was attached to my teeth, so I only had it for a year or so.
I can't think of a good signature.

Never had to wear braces in my life. Just a crown. Other than that I've had perfect teeth for years. :)

I've always wondered about Invisalign, never knew anyone who tried those out before. I thought those were the coolest thing ever but then, my parents and my sisters are stuck with metal frames. xD

They said that 'it would be preferred' if I wore it 18+ hours a day, full time would have been great, but there was no bloody way I was wearing that outside of the house, lmao. Probably why it took three years for them to discontinue the use of it, loooool.

Three years?
Oof. That couldn't have been fun. I:
The guy actually claimed that it would fix my jaw, then after I had been pretending to use it using it for a year or so, he changed is mind. That irritated me, but now at least my father doesn't call me ferretface because of the overbite.

mwfioneugnrl I need to get a life.
I've spent nearly my entire day playing Pokemon, drawing, and watching NCIS. I guess that explains why this has been a pretty good day haha.

Yeah, three years. My overbite was like...16mm, lol. Braces for almost half a decade too, oops.

I've thankfully never needed braces and I've been blessed with near perfect teeth. My brother needed them for a short time, however.. but his teeth look good now :3

Unfortunately for me, I still have an underbite >_< my braces were mainly for straightening my teeth only and not for realignment of my jaw.. I was also the only one in my family to undergo any orthodontics on my mouth

Haha, I love how the topic can instantly turn from teeth to breakfast. X}

I ate some grapes and the rest are currently waiting to be eaten by my lizard.

By the way, Paladin, remember the kind of spider that lives around here that you thought was awesome?
Spoiler:



Yeah they aren't as awesome when you find one on the ceiling in your bathroom, apparently. x;
I sprayed it with bug spray (was easier than trying to, well, smash it). Then while cleaning up the bug spray, the darn thing (which was half dead at that point) fell onto my hand. That really surprised me haha.

Just a quick quip on the braces topic, I actually really need them. There's this one tooth on my upper jaw that's like a row behind or whatever. Thing is, to have braced I'd need to take out both of my canines. Not something my mother was willing to let me go through. I might get them when I'm able to decide for myself though. But yeah, my messed up teeth don't really bother me. It can be a pain when taking a picture sometimes, but I've learned to adapt.


And I skipped out on breakfast. :c On the bright side, last day of school for me whooooo! I had fun bowling today to celebrate. =D
he did it, not me.

I can't imagine that being good (cranberry and french toast), so, no, I'm not "jelly"!

True, true.
But these guys do show up in the bathroom (including the shower) sometimes:
Spoiler:




My mother is terrified of those.
She makes me kill them for her. There was a really really tiny one in the kitchen and I actually felt bad. It was surprisingly cute. {:

I should find a spider and keep it with me when I want to be left alone. Good way to deter people, hmm? :D

Dipu, I've never noticed it in the pictures you've posted of yourself.
Would it really be noticeable to be missing your canines? x: My teeth were really crowded and I lost all four of mine when I was a kid, but they weren't the permanent ones.
I can't think of a good signature.

I had a poor housefly starve to death in my room. It flew fruitlessly into my window for three days. At last it flew at my laptop monitor and fell on the desk. It didn't fly again. I flipped it over with a piece of paper and it was so tired, it couldn't even flip itself back up.

And then I flushed it down the toilet.

How can that not sound good to you, Jess?

Spoiler:

Eh? A House Centipede?
Haha, why do they scare her? They can be really helpful to have around, since they eat common household pests, such as Cockroaches, and Clothes Moths.

Maybe we should put this part in spoilers, so as not to wig Dipu out. ;x


Yeah, that might would work. X)
Aside from people that actually like spiders, like me! :D

I've always liked my canine teeth, and I have no idea why. . . Am I nuts? . . Guys?

Blah, you make it sound so pitiful. And then slightly comical.

Putting the warning in spoiler totally defeated the purpose of it. Thanks. -_-;

And Jess, the reason you never noticed is cause A)I try to make it as unnoticeable as possible and B)I get to pick what goes up and what doesn't. =D
he did it, not me.
