I might be having them soon and I don't know what to expect.
Someone tell me pls.
Take me through all the types ;D!

There not good, I've never wore them but they look ugly.

[issaa.]

i have them and they hurt like hell when you first get them and when you get the tightened, they are ugly and annoying, if you can do without them, id wouldnt get them.

I wore braces for three years, they aren't that bad, but it is very annoying to brush your teeth whith them.
Also food tends to get stuck in them.
But it dosen't hurt a bit when the Orthodontice puts them on.

I just read that I can't bite my nails with them on ;l!

For the first three days, they kill. Then after that, you get used to them, but they may hurt for a day after every tightening. Although braces may look ugly, they do the world of good in the future. Oh, and the most important thing is to keep brushing (well that's what my orthodontist says anyway ^_^)

k?

[Emicat.]

I'm getting some.

But I've always wanted braces/ I want to fix this god damn gap.

I can fit a £1 coin in it. ^^

Well I've got them

They don't actually hurt? And when they get tightened I can feel them a tiny bit? And they do look quite nice? And they're easy to clean? (For me anyway)

Either that, or I am immune to pain (Not very likely)

lol, the 2 things they are good for -

NOT eating [for about 2 weeks because of the constant pain]
Straightning teeth

They arent too nice for the 1st month in wearing them, they hurt as hell and they get in the way but after the initial 4 weeks they starts to get a little better

If you have the Wire replaced [known as tightened] they tend to hurt for the evening

Of course after you get them taken off [which is a great day, ive experienced it], you have to wear retainers each and every night,

WATCH OUT FOR THE DRIBBLE! :p

Right.. Braces. Ive had them for 1 Year now. Ive had 4 Different types of braces.

:- Butterfly
:- Twin blocks ( Invisble )
:- Twin blocks ( Visable )
:- Train tracks

I got my Train Tracks on Tuesday and it didnt hurt when they put them on. After it gets a bit achey. When you have your 1st brace it will hurt for like 3 days. But dont worry. Dont take the brace out because it hurts or because they look ugly. The Ortho can tell when you havnt worn it. If you dont wear your braces.. the longer you have the treatment. So WEAR THEM. Also your mouth will get kinda dry in the 1st day.. and you will feal weird when you eat. Have a soft diet for a day or 2 Until your teeth settle.

All I gotta say. Now just 1 more year or Train tracks. ;]
