how are they stupid :S

and no, i never had braces. i had retainers for like 2 weeks until i forgot about em, tried to put em in a week later and they wouldn't fit. that around 10 years ago. in regards to braces, i was told there wasn't any point as i wouldn't see much difference and something else would of been better but it was so long ago i can't remember the whole conversation lmao.

because their teeth are perfectly fine and still, they want to have braces.

Currently got a brace on top teeth. Had 4 teeth removed last week on bottom set, and getting brace on that in a couple of weeks time - woo.

i did have braces for like 5 months and now i have to wear my stupid retainer which really annoys me becuase you cant eat properly!

With retainers I am pretty sure you are meant to remove them to eat?

yeah i do but its just a pain becuase you have to take it out every meal time and whenever i eat during the day :/

O/T: your signature is rather amusing, i could sit and watch it all day :')

I have top and bottom braces which I waited years for on the NHS and then got fed up and went private (which cost quite a bit). I had four teeth taken out (two top, two bottom) as well, but that was because they were getting in the way of my wisdom teeth. My friends told me my teeth were fine even before I had braces, but I'll still feel that they'll be much straighter even if nobody else can see it.

I had braces for 8 months, no teeth removed even though the bottom I had 'upside down snake fangs' where my cainines went right behind my teeth, scary stuff! Got them off two weeks ago and was meant to have them for one and a half years, my teeth must move fast :L Now onto the fun of retainers which are alright. One week I had them day & night, now everynight for 6 months. My friends are all annoyed as I barely had them on and they all had retainers on for 6 months day & night and so on.

Yeah my teeth were pretty bad, got braces for just over two years. Best thing ever, really, so happy with my teeth now.

I've had braces from year 8 to year 10 to close gaps & line them because i was a goof toof *facepalm*

i had to have an op before though to remove four teeth, two from the top & two from the bottom. I was sedated in the UCLH and it was for like 2 days. 1st day was for op 2nd day was to monitor me after the op then I went home with a numb mouth etc drooling everywhere having to walk around with tissue under my mouth -_-

but yeah it wasn't bad... braces was the **** back then :D
