well, i've had braces when i was younger...for 3 years
unfortuneately, i never got retainers and now that im in my freshman year my teeth started growing the wrong way.
I HAD TO GET HTEM AGAIN

so, who else has suffered the pain of braces more than once?

Nope.
I haven't even had them once.
I'm getting them within a year or two, though.

By the way, I love your icon.

No sir. In fact, I just got mine off awhile back.
Retainers are a bitch, i forgot to put it in the fridge one time; and it almost melted

haha yeah this guy i know accidentally threw his retainers away once
and his friend and he had to go through four bags of trash before they found them lol

i've never had braces but im sure they hurt
my friend has them and she says that they're the most annoying things cause they limit what u can and can't eat

I've never had braces nor retainers. The dentist said I aint geting it. I'm so glad.

I've never had braces, retainers, or cavities.

i never had any of those either

i need them...but i'm dreading it. i want the clear ones!!!!!!!!!!

thankfully i`ve only had them once but my bottom tooth is like starting to shift since i don`t exactly wear my retainers so my mom is thinking that i should get them again..but i don`t think i will have to

yeah, im still wondering
are the clear braces more expensive than the metal ones?

i'm getting braces soon in jan 18.
can you wish me luck.
i got an extra new teeth growing inside top of my gun
i got four teeth to pull out
My dentist will re arrange my teeth. ( does it hurt ? )


Q1.does braces hurt your gum/teeth/ or anything ?
Q2. if my dentist re arrange my teeth, does it hurt ?
Q3. what is retainers ?


can anyone answer my questions ?

Nope, but I'm going to. >.<;;
My friend got hers in like third grade, but she was too young, and all her baby teeth fell out and her teeth were crooked again, so now she has to get braces again. =/

I have to get them again. I was very forgetful. I got my braces when I was back in 6th grade, and when I got them taken off, I knew I should've worn my retainers, but I tend to forget I had them. I mean, don't get me wrong, I did wear my retainers, but those were only when I remembered to put them in.

my brother is 21 and he has braces. he's actually supposed to wear headgear (HAHA) but he was stubborn and refused.

i just got mine on in august and i'm a freshman. i wish i had them sooner.

I never had braces..

nope, but im getting those invislign things in 2 weeks. i dont think they really work though, plastic things moving your teeth? thats just not right.

I should put on my retainers.


Shite. Ha. Ha. Ha.

I didn't get braces for the second time because right now I have braces. I feel sad for you.

1. well, dentists tend to glue your brackets(metal part of braces) close to your gum so it does hurt a little. you get used to it however
2. the process of it? not really. i have a jaw problem so my dentist is trying to fix that. hmmm..
3. it looks like a wire across your teeth


haha yes, im sad right now.
and since my dentist didnt give me my wire yet, 3 of my brackets fell out

I don't have braces.. yet. I'm getting them in two or three years.

i hated when i had braces. those things are hell in ur mouth. i hate my retainer too. stupid plastic thing. ive lost it a few times.

man, second time? that sux! i had braces before, and i really hope i never have to go through that again!

i have braces now. It sux, esp during a portrait picture. But meh, they'er not that bad most of the tiem.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh braces update
sicne i only got my brackets today and not the wire, the brackets keep failling out!!

seriously, 4 fell out already..and its only the first day..

I just got mine on last week and Im a freshman >.<. Fortunately I haven't had to get the twice.

4 fell out alreaydy? That's bad.. Anyway, I have braces.
My friends thought I was weird cause I thought braces look cool.
Haha. But they don't hurt that much.

yeah, maybe its the spacers that hurt

you had to get braces again!? holy shit. thats gotta suck... i had braces for 2 1/2 years and then i got my retainer.

nope i never. i still have my braces on from the fist time though cuz i never got them removed yet

Hopefully I won't have to get them again. I just got mine off like 2 weeks ago. It's a hastle having them on...

wow, thanks for the comment. i dont really need to worry much. .. do i need to worry ? well, thanks for the comments and hopefully you can reply this.

no, no worries
i trust my dentist enough to know that he wont do anything wrong

OMG you poor thing. I had braces when I was in 8th grade. Luckily I only had to have them for a year and a half...then after the doc took them off he put a perm retainer on my top teeth. However the bottom ones went sorta crooked again but i refuse to get them again.

i had braces before but i might have to get them again cuz my retainers broke and my teeth started shifting..

never get invisalign retainers!!!! they suck!!

well i currently have braces nd they suck.

Aww how cute, Sally had braces.

Graaaaaaaaar

i am getting my braces off in next month...retainers sound horrible...*shocked*

That happened to me but only with my top teeth. I have a permanent retainer on the bottom which is what my orthodonist should have done with the top in the first place. I had them off for a year then he put them back on for about 5 months. I just got those off again recently too. It was horrid finding out I needed them again..


EDIT: man this is an old old topic.

Right back atcha.

i will have braces after the exam...you guys' words scare me

I had to get them 3 times.

hehe, i get mine off soon.

braces = the devil

I'm getting them off next week.

Eh, I have braces now and it's my first time. I definately DON'T want to do it over again. -.-

I dont need braces. But my sis is getting them this summer i think.

Why is this topic stilll alive?! Kevin I hate chu for bringing it back.

got braces last month, it hurt like hell the first week, but it'll definetely get better within 2 weeks or so .. if it hurts, I just swallow some advil and shit .. taking em off in like 17 months
