I got my braces off a few months ago; I had them for three years.

It feels SO good to have them off. Now I have a permanent bottom retainer and I have to wear my top retainer at night. It's a pain, but I don't want to get braces again.

I think she meant removed.
If you were using it to mean gay then i have a problem with it too(not that i like the word in the first place.)

For the record i don't and never have had brace(but i don't pick on people with them)

I had braces. Nobody made fun of me for them. A lot of kids get them at some point.
I'm pretty sure all braces are expensive, in the thousands.
Good luck with them and try not to be too bothered by them. =)

I had braces twice. And I am probably going to need them again eventually. The first time I had them for 2.5 years, the second time 1 year, and I have never been made of for them. I mean like at least half of the people I associate with have or had them, so its not something they would make fun of.

i'm sure nobodys mad at you. After all you apoligised and changed it.

You know it's weird but i think over here(UK) that braces are free for under 16's. I'm not sure though i'd have to ask.

No, braces don't hurt. Well, I guess it depends on the person, though. As long as you don't eat hard foods at first, you should be fine. And the only thing you will feel while putting braces on is annoyance from having to sit in the chair with your mouth wide open the whole time. ;)

Well my opion is that they hurt Really Bad and Your Spacers is no pain compared to braces but spacers do hurt to but 1-2 weeks your braces should stop hurting well atleast mine did... Best of Luck to u with your braces =)

Well I wasn't able to chew anything for like 2 weeks both times. I pretty much lived on soup. And then when they would change the wires I would be in pain for 3 or so days. So yea, for me they hurt.

It took me about 2 days to chew hard stuff again. I also never felt any pain when they changed the wires.
Tis different for everyone. :D

I totally hated my braces. I had them on for a year. They made my teeth very yellow underneath. I had those wieid things wrapped around the backs of my teeth, and right before I got them off the orthdontis said my teeth looked very good, no cavaties. But guess what? When I got them off, I had 7 cavaties underneath the metal. It was not my fault, it was the braces. I'm very prone to cavaties anyway, but it still made me so mad.

And when I got them off, they wanted to file my teeth down. I'm like NO!!

But, I was supposed to get them again, but my mom gave me a choice and I said no. I never wore my retainer anyway, and they went back to normal.

I only think they cost like $2,000 (which is cheap compared to 5k!!), but they weren't a full set. I only had them on my first four front top and bottom teeth.

im getting spacers on the eighth and braces, well, idk when but its soon.

do braces hurt? :confused3

Spacers don't hurt, but mine fell out. Braces hurt me like crazy (I'm not trying to scare you). The orthodontist had to give me a prescription for tylanol with codiene (sp?) because advil did nothing after they were tightened. I had to eat soup for over a week when I first got them. And mine weren't even a full set... I can't imagine having them on all my teeth.

And the wires poked. And my mouth still is red from it :mad:

I'm in 10th grade. I've had mine since I was in 6th grade.
4 years.
5 years in March.
No, I've never really been made fun of because of my braces.
I was supposed to get them off in September or Novembe, but now they're thinking of giving me rubber bands.
Nooo!
I. want. them. off. my. teeth!

But, I've had them on for so long, I can wait a couple more months.

Ugh I have to get them in Feb. =[

I only have two teeth out of place and you cant even tell when i smile. But they hurt me and my dentist said as i get older they will start pushing against each other and either push them back or ware them out =[ Im kind of scared to though. But around here they don't pick on you because of them. i think alot of people look cute with them lol.

No one makes fun of me having braces because almost everyone has/had them.
The only thing I've heard is this random guy used to call my friend Broken Teeth.

I have had braces on for 4 months. Does anyone know what they call it when they put a rubber band(color ones) and twist it around 4 teeth? They also put some sort of wire on my two front teeth.

The wire you're talking about is probably ligatures. My ortho uses them on me to link the wires for teeth that aren't straight across (like some of my teeth, they're in a spot where the normal wire can't pop into it).

Do you have Braces???? No but i went the Orthodontics on Thursday and he said that i need braces and i'm getting them on in Febuary I think but I have had retaners, head-gear, and all that other fun stuff but no braces yet... till Febuary
Well if you do, do you get made fun of like Brace Face, Metal Mouth, or the common one??? Not yet since i dont have them yet
Do you get Cable with those Braces??? Not yet
But are yours very expensive??? I think they gave my mom a quote of $4,500 but our insurance is paying $1000 and therers a sibling discount since my brother has them so i think i came down to 3,300 or something like that
How long do you have to have to have them ??? they said a year and a half

My friends always moan how much they hurt, and I always reply "but you look so aweesome"

I'll trade my teeth with you guys. :)

O yeah and another thing that Sux about having braces is that everytime I go to the Dentist they always find a promblem with teeth so that puts me in there longer than im supposed to be!!!!!! One time I was stuck in there for more than 3 hours!!!!!! So i pretty much dread going to the dentist!!! :scared:
