Do you have/have you had braces?

[Shar]

If so how old were you when you got them?

I had braces when I was 10 and retainers when I was 12

[Jordan:A]

I got my retainers when I was 14, then fixed when I was like 14 and then got them too off when I was about 15

I got my brace when I was 16, and will have it until the end of this year.

[lawrawrrr]

18months worth! Got them taken off in dec last year.

Didn't have much wrong with my teeth, but I was sooo self concious. 2 of my top teeth stuck out - they were my 'fly-teeth' and I like, never smiled 'cos of them. Had to get 2 taken out though, scariest moment of my LIFE. Only just qualified under the NHS. I now have night-time retainers which I'm meant to wear every other night right now, but I've lost them, and now my bottom teeth have gone all wonky again

That's happened to my teeth too but I don't like wearing my retainers because I can't talk when I have them in and if I wear them at night they just come out while I'm sleeping

Oh mine stay in, but I can't talk. It's like I have a major lisp, my friends find it super funny when I'm on skype late at night to them! Been looking for them now, I want straight teeth again for uni

I had mine from aged 15 to 17.. I am still supposed to wear retainers, but I really can't be bothered, the only thing that has changed is my 2 bottom teeth, which have moved slightly back into its original place, but not too bothered about that. retainers smell far too much for me to wear them.. They say to soak them in bleach and water every day, but they still stink lol.

I've just stopped wearing them.

That's why I stopped wearing mine, I would literally sit there with a brush and loads of toothpaste and scrub them for ages
