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?
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
