I\'m excited!!! I GOT MY BRACES OFF!

I\'m so excited...I found out at my last orthodontist visit that I get my braces off Jan. 5.  The day after we go back from Christmas holidays.  YAY!  I can\'t wait.  These metal things do nothing for my appearance...

I had braces for 6 years, I think. They sucked, and they are going to feel VERY WEIRD when you get them off, like there\'s slime covering your teeth. And it\'ll be weird adjusting to not eating like an idiot for a few weeks [feels like you\'re missing your teeth, and chewing food is a bey@tch].

Make sure they get ALL THE GLUE scraped off your teeth. I went to a dentist a few months ago, and they said I still had glue on my teeth from like...5 years ago. I thought it was plaque. They scraped it off to reveal the rest of my pearly whites

I needed braces but never got them, my teeth are fine. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like...

Well now I have this tooth from nowhere growing in on the bottom that\'s pushing my teeth out of the way, defeating the whole purpose of me getting freakin braces.

The fun part is, I have to get it removed, and there\'s these nerves that connect from the tooth to the bottom part of the right side of my tongue. And when I get the surgery, there\'s a small chance I could lose the feeling on that side of my tongue,  meaning, half my taste would be gone :rpissed:

I was gifted with absolutely perfect upper teeth, so as a child, the dentist said I didn\'t need them. My bottom teeth are a bit wonkey, but he said they didn\'t really need the aid of braces.

It just goes to prove that god has a sense of humour by putting good teeth in a fugly face.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

my teeth started out kinda wonkey, but the detist said they\'d end up getting completely straight by themselves. Sure enough they did.

I\'m so excited and I just can\'t hide it
I\'m about to lose control and I think I like it
I\'m so excited and I just can\'t hide it
And I know I know I know I know I know I want you SoulGrind

I had them, they never really bothered me though, the retainer on the other hand...

Never had braces, I never knew anyone at school with them either. It seems to be more common now than it was a few years ago.

At first I thought you were gonna announce our highly illegal relationship.......

But good for you on the braces. Never had them but I heard they are terrible for felatio?

Evi i feel your pain. 6 years here as well. I just got mine of a little while ago and i have a retainer - I got so used to the braces that i almost would rather have those back than a damn retainer (or at least thats how i felt at first). You just cant talk with a retainer.

Meh. estimated time till i get rid of this thing: 1.5 years

Great...I won\'t be able to talk.  Not so excited anymore.  I guess I will get used to it...

damn, I had 6 yrs too with my braces...so its good to see i\'m not alone.

maybe my retainer was too small or my ortho sucked but I remember the first time she put it in and jammed it up inside. Good lord that hurt....
