No.
Never will. My teeth are perfect.

What? Why?

i had them from freshman year to senior year in high school. now i have a fabulous smile.

How fab

My dentist said my teeth were hitting each other weird when I would bite down. He said if I didn't get braces I could risk chipping a tooth or having tooth problems when I'm older. So even though my teeth didn't necessarily look bad, I still needed braces.

Before braces:


After braces:

Yes your teeth were amazing! I think my teeth would hit and now two of them are deteriorated a bit lol

Yeah, that was the same problem as me, except I got braces before my teeth had the chance to deteriorate.

And thank you

Lol or I think I just grind them in my sleep

Me too.

Mine are coming off on Tuesday after having them for a year

No but I wonder why they didn't really want me to have braces...I want new teeth tbh

Yes, I have them now.

No, I've got my mother's perfect teeth... But not her perfect skin.

I had braces from late 2009 - mid 2011 (mid-Freshman year to the summer before Junior year of high school). I really hated having them in my mouth. I had trouble speaking with them & I was uncomfortable with my smile during this time.

It was worst while I has the guard & the rubber bands. AT THE SAME TIME. Then I got them taken off during the summer, & I could not speak or smile with the retainer so I couldn't stand wearing it in school.

It feels so amazing to not wear any contraptions in my mouth during the day now. I still wear my retainer every night even though it's been a year & a half.

I have them for almost 4 years already and will still have to deal with them for 3 more years.

The pain you feel after the dentist adjust your brace hurts so good lol

Why do you have to wear for so long?

I've had them from 1999 to 2002. It was relief when I got rid of them, I felt liberated which is funny because it used to be so cool in the late 90s to have braces in elementary school. Now my teeth are perfect (most people who complimented me have no idea the process it took to get this result) while I used to have a gap in the front area.

Did any of you were obliged to wear that thing at night? Sometimes, it was so tightly put in place that it would make my gum bleed.

I don't really know. I have an underbite and my lower teeth are a mess. It looks okay now though but my dentist told me it would take 2-3 more years for my teeth to look perfect. And then 1 more year for retainers.

I was required to wear those but I refused because I have to wear them all the time. I can't go to school wearing that. So yeah, I guess that's another reason why I have to wear braces for almost 7 years.
