    BTW did anybody have like bad ulcers or cuts by the braces on the sides of your mouth coz of the friction or something like that?

    ouch! i never had any accidents like that but i usually get them from when im eatting lol or when i chew my mouth out of boredom lol
     
  5. naw i don't mind the wires being there... it's like they aren't even there..

    and yo... are you 50 yet? unless you are, you don't know that your teeth will go back to the way they were

    couple of people i know had braces, didn't have wires, are in their 40s and their teeth are shifting back to the way they were.

    so in conclusion, i think of wires as good news, and i didn't get fucked over :)

    how... did you even manage to knock them off....... the glue your ortho used must have been really crappy lol

    It's considered 'cute' to them. Especially in Japan, I've heard that some get braces specifically to make their teeth crooked. No idea why they would do that, but hey, its cute to them...

    Wax only works for like 5 min then it melts onto your mouth.
     
  12. wax is disgusting :X

    i'd rather have bleed cuts in the mouth instead.

    i used to have braces... when i was 13/14ish... my teeth grew too well and my mouth was too crowded =S and also i used to suck a dummy as a baby/toddler so my front teeth stuck out a bit ("sau ngaa")

    so had 4 teeth taken out then braces to re-arrange my teeth... the standard train tracks with a little metal bit on each of my teeth then a bracket on the back teeth and then wires across the front... top and bottom teeth...
    every few weeks went back to get them tightened... then once they came of (no metal left in my mouth) i had to wear a retainer for about 6 months... imo, the braces only hurt when they got tightened... the retainers were worse...

    anyone who has the chance to sort their teeth out really should... over here in the uk we get to do it on the nhs (national health service) if you're under 18 so there's no excuse... elsewhere, if you've paid for the braces you'd be an absolute idiot not to go back for tightening etc...

    ^ that's right on point..


    if u paid for braces, like i did and i still have braces, y wouldn't u go back? y are u even complaining, i had an unalignment in my jaw structure causing an underbite, so i had to get an oral surgery done and that was not fun in anyway.....

    so suck it up and live w/ it.. braces r good for u, the more u follow the ortho's order the faster itll be off

    Never had 'em, but almost everyone I know has had them at some point. Maybe it's just me, but I think there's a certain look that braces give off. It looks unnaturally straight. Kinda like fake boobs.

    ^ WTF? My teeth don't look fake nor does it look perfectly straight... i still got my little gap between my 2 front teeth just that it's not as big as it used to be..... proved you wrong puahahahaa

    I had braces and boy, did the tightening hurt. I couldn't chew for a whole week each time my teeth were tightened. But it's better you follow the procedure of tightening the braces to ensure the teeth are straight. It's been a long time and my teeth are still good. I've seen some of my friends where the teeth moved a bit after several years. Not sure what metal pieces you're talking about, but my specialist took all the metal bracket piece off of my teeth, but on one tooth it left a kind of mark. To this day, can't remove stain. Oh well.

    I had braces before. >< The tightening hurt but it works, or else your teeth would be used to the shape and move. Man...it was painful to eat for like a week after tightening >__>"

    And the metal on the back of your teeth is a plate, you can get the ones that stay forever or ones you could take on and off xD
