If a orthodontist tells you to wear a retainer after you get them off all day for a long time, don't bother, except for the first few days to get used to it. It works just fine if you just wear it at night when you go to sleep.

Ive always wanted perfect teeth.
My teeth are alright except for two of them.
I intended to get braces but i heard that it hurts, as you have described it.
Im afraid of pain.
Also, will it take long time to get the braces off the later you get them in?

It sounds like you only have two bad teeth. I wouldn't think you'd need to go through the pain of having braces for just two teeth if they aren't noticeable. The time would depend on how bad your teeth are, but i wouldn't think it was really worthit.

They only twinged a bit for me when I got mine, anyways I have been told I get them off in 6 weeks! - I don't fancy a retainer though, they look annoying.

Ouch, braces sound so painful! I've only ever had to get my wisdom teeth removed, and that hurt. I don't think I could bare braces

well actually, they arent that bad tbh.....

only 2 of my teeth were wonkey to start with, one of my front teeth overlapped the other

so they took out 2 of my teeth, and im getting them out in like a month now, just waiting for the gap to close like 1mm LOL.

Excellent post Psyc! +Rep for you. If my own personal experience is anything to go by, your post is 100% correct.

I had my braces quite a few years ago. I ended up wearing my braces for over 2 years as I kept breaking them by eating foods I shouldn't When I first got my braces it was really horrible... I hated the feeling, it was as if you could feel the tightness of it (obviosly) and your teeth literally ache to the max.

I couldnt stand going to the Orthadontist, hated the guy! Was always so rude to me but then again I did always have to go back to get work done as I constantly broke my brace lol! I had train tracks on my upper and lower teeth and after they were removed I had the god-awful retainer! Gastly invetion... disgusting!!

I guess the highlight of having braces is being able to choose your own colours! I had blue and white for some time and then changed to black and white. :eusa_danc
