Braces

[Barwy]

My teeth were bad, i was in 2 weeks of pain, agony on bottom teeth yet they werent too mucked up :s

I hated my braces, but I'm grateful that I had them now. I had them for 2, almost 3 years and I wasn't happy about it, but my teeth are now much straighter. They aren't horrifically ugly, and you can still bite your nails (they recommend not eating hard/chewy stuff but balls to it, you can always get them fixed). They hurt for about a day, possibly two, after fitting and/or tightening, but bear with it, they're worth it in the end. Think about the future with this:

2 years of having a bit of metal that people aren't likely to care about, or the rest of your life with bad teeth?

Having it done now for free, with all appointments, fixings, tightenings etc. all free too, or paying anything from £400+ (into the thousands sometimes) later in life?

Also, if you have them later (and trust me, if you don't have them now you'll want them later when the look of your teeth affects you more) then you'll stick out like a sore thumb. Having them in school is normal, loads of kids do, but not many adults have braces, and you'll feel a lot worse then than you would now.

My advice: Have the braces, no doubt.

Lol, never had them but they dont look nice.

Dont go by looks, infact you would look worse when you're older with bad teeth

Might as well wear them for 2 years now, just like Jesus said

When they first stick them on, then dont hurt. However, later in the day it is extremely painful. Any pressure on them and they hurt like hell, I couldnt even heat well done spaghetti.

Same here. I'm not even sure if I am getting them, but my teeth are a bit crowded. The dentist said I might do when all my lickle baby teeth fall out because I have a lickle mouth.
I put the lickle mouth bit in myself ^^!

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.

True. I had them for about 3 years, 3 years of hell They make you look ugly and the pain is unrealistic!

I had 3 types, but the only one I can remember is the train tracks.

When you get them tightened, they hurt for about a day. When you get them fixed on, they hurt for about 3 days, 1 week the maximum

Right now I'm in a crisis, because I'm supposed to be wearing my retainer, but I'm not Now my teeth are moving back to as they were before

Tut tut tut!
You should be. You'll have to have another 3 years of hell :p . But they might look a tad ugly while you're wearing them, but I've learnt that in the future I'll look uber-sexy YOU SHOULD DO TOO. Silly billy.
