Braces (tell me about them)

[JamesRoe]

Lol well mine are coming off in a week and a bit the brace itself aint that bad if you have to have elastics thats when the pain starts!

[Taea]

my friends have those elastics around their braces, I forget what they're called but they say it hurts a lot

[ff_vivi]

Mine were called like Blue Power Line. They were like hand me the BLUE POWER LINE.

[Pulchritudinous]

Lol it sounds like a train-track, I guess they are traintracks anyway.

You know when you get cuts on the sides of your mouth, once they healed on my mouth, I had lumps there, I still have them, they don't hurt, but I can feel them with my touge.

if you do have ulsers from them use bongela

I got mine about a month ago. Just a quick suggjestion, On the second day dont try and cut the wire with a knife, you'll scream and cut your gums and your lip (tried it :eusa_wall ). They're fine now though..

[ff_vivi]

Why would you cut the wires? Cutting the wires would ruin the whole thing and you could end up as Buckfaced Bikez(see the alliteration? or was it assonance?)

[lucyecc]

on the first few days i wanted to just rip them of but you cant its annoying but funny and painful

[Bikez]

I tried to cut the elastic thingys so they wouldnt hurt...

[ff_vivi]

Why would you do that? You'd get used to them in a while. Is it worth it to blow away a few thousand (money) so you can ease your pain?
