Riku Sledge Brother Unpredictable. Watch your backs. Or not. Whichever. I want Metal Gear Solid 4 so badly.                   Since: 11-17-05 From: Tompkinsville Last post: 6468 days Last view: 6468 days |

| Well, I got my braces yesterday and I thought nothing would go wrong. But we happened to have my birthday early (because it ties with Thanksgiving) that evening. When I get up to eat my cake I just... couldn't. It felt like chewing on glass.
I had a birthday pizza too, but I couldn't eat it. Instead of cake, I got a can of Chicken Noodle soup! I still have trouble eating. But the fact that my brother hogged all the cake, pizza, and my present for four hours was discouraging. I also spent my birthday alone. 
I hate my dentist. |

| I've had my braces for four years. It should have been much shorter, but my Orthodontist fucked up, causing me to keep them for waayy longer than I should of had. Also, several fuckers try to jump me and in a couple of fights my mouth got hurt. So, yeah hope you don't have the trouble I've had. Good luck with it, it's a bitch. | |||

| Braces suck. I had them for 3 years, now im wearing a retainer. But yeah when you first get them on, it's bad. I had gotton them near nightfall too so I couldnt sleep that night through all the aching pain. Miserable. It'll get better over the course of next week. Then they'll tighen em. =/
Well, hope you get better. I found that milkshakes help in this. |

| That sucks for you, man.
I've never had braces, and fortunately never will need them. I have straight enough teeth to not use them at all, unless something bad happens in the future. 
But most of my friends have suffered through braces, and I can only guess how annoying they are. |

| Wow, that sucks. Never had braces myslef, and don't think I ever will. I may need to have my mouth drilled due to cavities. Now that's probably worse. But getting them when you celebrate your 13th(?) birthday sucks. I'm glad I never got them, but they're probably better than gold teeth. Don't worry, you'll get used to them, and if your lucky you won't need rubber bands and will be able to get a retainer soon. God's speed my friend. | |||

Whats wrong with Chicken Noodle Soup? 
Braces suck. You're right. I started off with a retainer about 4 years ago, could hardly close my mouth. And boy, did I have a huge lisp with them on  But then I got them off, and got braces on. And wow. Feels like your teeth are about to fall off for the first few days 
Don't sweat it. Eventually, you'll get used to them, and you'll hardly notice they're there (ok I shouldn't say THAT ) Always remember to take a skinny brush and brush your teeth right under the braces. If you don't, you'll get a really ugly mark when they come off.
Sorry you had to waste your birthday on that And you're becoming a teenager too |

Dentists are evil, because they blame you for not being perfect... 
Anyways, been through braces twice in my life (And Im only nearly 16), and yes, it does suck. First day is bad, second day is a little better, third day, you should try soft foods like jello, a sandwich, spaghetti, and after the 6th day, its fine. Just, dont eat anything sticky... that is bad... And when you get checkups, there will be tightening, and it will only hurt for like, a day. Not much to worry about, but if you do everything the orthodontist tells you too, you can get them off faster... (In a perfect world though, mine was delayed two months )
Oh, and 7-11 slurpees are your best friend. Nice, cool, and refreshing... and good for getting rid of pain  |

| I had braces for something like four years.
I'll tell you this -- it might hurt a bit, but you get used to it, and the pain does go away. You might look kinda geeky too, but that's temporary. But when it's done, your teeth will look fucking fantastic. And when you get over the Braces Habit of hiding your teeth when you smile, people will comment on how fantastic your smile is. So, it might be sucky for now, but when it's done, it's awesome. 
As for things that people eat with braces, I actually didn't go out of my way to eat anything special when my braces were tightened or anything. Hell, I'd even eat chewy toffee on the bus ride home from the orthodontist. My Mum didn't go out of her way to prepare any special dinners for me when I got my braces tightened either, so even if it was sore I still had to eat my steak or whatever. Rubber bands are fun too. Mine used to unexpectedly snap when I was talking to people and fly out of my mouth -- ping!  |

| I've had my brace for a year now, Unfortunatly I sounded like I had stuffed my mouth full of food when I talked for two lots of a week. I could eat fine, just a lot slower. Now I eat anything despite my brace breaking twice.
You sure do remember how nice letting chocolate melt on your tounge is with a brace. I have some sort of need for chocoalte daily. |

| I assume that it´s the kind of braces you can´t remove by reading your reply.
I had the kind you can remove when you´re going to eat. Hurts in the beginning but I got used to it. |

| You might be right. I´m not sure what they´re called.
They smell awful when you´ve had them in your mouth for a while. |

My bite is really different. But the food is annoying sticking everywhere. Had a bad experience with string cheese. (edited by Riku on 11-20-05 09:45 PM) |

| I think I have an overbite or something but my teeth look straight enough so I don't look like a retard . I would want them..but my teeth aren't all that bad. I've heard a few stories about how braces cut your gums and stuff. It made me not want them . Don't they have invisible kind now? I wonder if they work |

Sinfjotle Lordly? No, not quite.  Since: 11-17-05 From: Kansas Last post: 6470 days Last view: 6469 days |

| I uhh... hate my dentist so much because he wanted to give me braces, although my teeth are almost perfectly straight and have no gaps. Thus, I decided to tell him I'm going to let my wisdom teeth grow in naturally, because I also have room for them, and it doesn't matter if I do or don't.
Anyways, you'll grow used to them, you'll feel better soon, but if they keep bothering you, go get them checked up, and sue his ass for mal practice if he tries to recharge you for him doing it wrong. |

| As for growing in wisdom teeth, you have to be extra good oral hygiene otherwise, you'll end up paying more than what you would have paid for taking them out.
But yeah, braces are worth it in the end for many people as employers are starting to take teeth into account of first impressions... |

| I wish I knew how you felt, then I would understand how you felt. I sorta wanted braces because my teeth looked like they were not straight. |
