Braces.

[MonorailDude]

I got mine around the end of February of '06. The first 8 days hurt like heck for me! If it wasn't for milkshakes, WAY over buttered toast, ( I purely swallowed it!) and pudding, I don't know where I would have been. The worst part for me though was playing the trumpet. I had to squeez my lips like crazy just to squirt out a Fourth-space C in a B-Flat chord. It was knuts. Now they're not bad at all though. Not even when I get them tightened. No pain. Now the only bad part is trying to eat a Turkey Club in Disney and trying to pick your braces without anyone noticing. I just went through 13 days of that.

aww they're not that bad, I've had them on for about a month and a bit now and it's fine! I was quite lucky as my braces weren't sore when they got fitted and tightened. But I was prepared for the soreness as for a lot people it can kill. Eating, for the first couple of days, will absolutely kill!! I found it so hard to bite into anything 'cause it was so painful! But if you cut it up to small pieces and eat soft food you'll be fine! And then after a couple of days it will be fine and you'll be able to eat anything with out pain...apart from really hard, crunchy foods that can break your brace.

I get mine off soon!


But, they aren't so bad.
And, a lot of people have them, so no one makes fun of you for having them anymore


But seriously, braces aren't that bad. I should know. I've had mine for atleast 4-5 months.

The first week and maybe second is HORRRIBLEE.

I refuse to eat soft food.
I'm stubborn, and just let the pain kill me by chewing it.

I do not have braces and I will never need them.

I got my braces when I was 11, and had them taken off when I was 13. They didn't really bother me...I just remember going to my friend's birthday party the night that I got them on, and trying to eat pizza without it getting stuck in my braces! Then I was supposed to wear a retainer...and I did for a year...now it's completely forgotten. But I still have a permanent retainer cemented to my bottom teeth...it's odd....they say I have to get it taken off when I'm 21, but I just don't feel the need to!

I've had braces since I was 13. I remember the day I got them in 7th grade..SAT day. SUCKED!
I was supposed to get them off at 20 months aka November. But I had them two years March
I really don't like getting food in my teeth quite annoying, especially since I have an overbite corrector. I also have spikes on the back of my top four teeth. They're nice for biting people.
