A topic about braces. I never had braces, and I likely will not need them.

I have braces right now, but only the top set. I'm going to get the bottom set in a couple weeks or so. My bottom teeth are horrible D:.
Gotta have em on for 2 1/2 years, so far it's been about 6 months.

I currently have a fixed brace on my top front teeth and a removable appliance (twin-block) to realign my jaw. I don't have a clue when I get them off.

Had top/bottom braces for two months. 22 months to go.
They really don't hurt at all.

Yep, I was only supposed to have them on for 18 months but it's now been a bit over 3 years. I'm really glad I got them, although can't wait to get them off.

Not had any so far, but my teeth are a little bit unaligned and wonky and I have a tooth growing in the wrong place, so chances are I'll need one.

I've never had braces and don't think I will, but I think they're hot.

I've never had them. When I was about 9 I was told by the orthodontist I would either need to have braces, or have 4 teeth taken out (apparently there wasn't enough room in my mouth for them to form properly). I hated the idea of braces so I opted to have 4 teeth taken out. They put me to sleep, I woke up an hour later and they'd taken 11 teeth out.

Thankfully my teeth are too straight already to get braces. But I heard they really hurt, especially when you have them tightened.

That's pretty much how it's been for me, though not quite as long. I was told 1.5-2 years and it's been 2 years (I got them the end of August 2 years ago). My orthodontist has been implying that they'll be coming off soon for 6 months now.. Every time I go in, he always says he's just making small adjustments to the spaces between my teeth (I'm going to be getting 2 implants I believe, so the spaces for them need to be just right). I'm just hoping I'll be able to get them off before the end of the year.
And as glad as I am that I got them, they're such a pain in the

. Every time I eat anything, food gets stuck in my braces and my tongue gets sore from trying to pick all of it out. I just can't wait for the damn things to come off (hopefully soon

).

My teeth really hurt at the moment; I got my braces tightened yesterday. I got the colour changed from pink to blue though. :3
The last six months of my orthodontic treatment is being started again from scratch.

I hope I can get them off before I leave school.
