Don't get them unless you really need them.

I had them for several years, not fun. Helpful, but not fun.

No. But I could probably use them for just my bottom row of teeth.

I used to have braces when I was younger. Didn't get them off until high school.

I had them for about 1.5 to 2 years. My case was pretty minor. I needed to get the usual wires, but I didn't need to use any of those rubber bands. You get used to them rather quickly. The worst part is your teeth sensitivity for the first few hours after you get them on. If you do get them, be careful when putting anything in or near your mouth lol.

Yup. I currently have them right now. I got them late, in the beginning of my senior year. It's been one year and I have 1/2 year left. Top bands - Purple, Bottom bands - Yellow/Gold. Lakers!! :P

Yep. Man were they horrible. I don't wear my retainer anymore and my bottom teeth are beggining to shift but it's really subtle. I would never wear the metal braces again no matter how much I need them.

No but I could have used them.  You do not notice my teeth being crooked unless I point them out.  The problem is my top teeth do not line up with my bottom teeth.  My real problem, however, is I have an underbite which makes my jaw protrude more than it should and my bottom row of teeth are farther forward then my top row of teeth.  This causes me to have a more pronounced jaw which isn't a horrible thing I do not believe.  Many people seem to like my jaw...

It's a lot like the guy below.

Yes, I had braces. I had them taken off and now I'm supposed to wear a retainer, which I don't. Now I have to go through all the crap and start wearing it again because a space is forming.

I'm getting my braces off in a week from yesterday. ^^


Hmm.. I guess I'll ad that they wern't that bad, but it might have just been my orthodontist and that i didn't really need to get my teeth straightened too much; it was more for my bite.

I opted for Invisalign braces, I wore them for about 2 years, now I just have to wear my last set as a retainer for about half a day everyday for another 6 months or so. Invisalign is the way to go :D

Yes, I had them from 13-16 and they were one of the best things I could have done for myself. It can do a great deal for your attractiveness.

Fact. I had them for the first 3 years of high school, and since they've been off, people always tell me how I have such a nice smile. And as for my retainer, I only have to wear maybe 2-3 nights a week...its gotten to the point where I can't sleep without it in. :shock:

I had them for almost 4 years. I just got them off 2 months ago, and the retainer is driving me insane. I hate that thing. I have to wear it 24 for 7 more months, although I just wear it at night. I haven't noticed any problems with my teeth doing it this way, and the dentist doesn't suspect a thing. As other people have said, do not get them, unless you truely need them. If you do need them then I would recommened it, just make sure you get them once you lose all your baby teeth.. If you think you need them, talk to your dentist about it and what he thinks.
