Braces are annoying, but they're probably better then a root canal... =P

I definitely agree, though the choice was rather unexpected.

I never got braces although maybe I should but meh...

If you want a shmexy shmile, these things can deliver.

I have braces. They're not horrible but I can't wait until I get them off in the winter.

I used to cut my tongue on the wire all the time, but it's been fine ever since that stopped.

How long have you got them on for?

Ha, first day and I don't know what to think of them. I understand the discomfort I am experiencing right now is only temporary, so I am trying not to let that cloud my judgement.

I will have this stylish metallic grill on four 16 months.

Yeah, I used to cut the side of my mouth on the wire.

Arrr, that be the same problem I have. -_-

I can't get braces, but my teeth aren't straight. I guess it's a good thing, since I heard braces are kinda painful (Even though it stops at one point). So, I think I might get that Invisaline thing, or some carbon copy or whatever...

It is not really pain so much as discomfort for the first day or two. Invisaline braces are far too overpriced. They are like 3Xs more than regular braces.

Suddenly my need for braces dropped even lower.

Because I had to wait for the orthodontist to get all his gear together before he applied mine, I had time to Wiki orthodontic treatment. According to recently published studies, approximately 85% in the world would greatly benefit from braces.

There isn't really much pain at all TBH.

Agreed.

Seconded. Admittedly, it hurts to eat even the lightest foods after the first few days and then for about a day each time they're tightened, but it's not that bad after a while.

It only hurts for me because they had to use a laser to cut my gums to pull half-impacted tooth out. -_-

I can't really explain it well, but I have something to show about it:

If you go down to the surgery section, it'll tell why. (Hopefully.)

I don't NEED braces, but I have small gaps that I could get braces for. It would be purely for cosmetic purposes.

EDS, Quinn, is where you have different symptoms.

-Hyperelasticity skin
-Hypermobile Joints
-Low bone density
-Easy skim bruising
-etc

So many to list. xD

...Do you think I don't know about my own thing, Corey? I can't really have surgery or really anything of the sort without having a high risk of bleeding out. That's how my grandma from my mom's side died. :x

Offtopic, but I'm sorry about your grandma.

So one day down. 547.863 more days to go...

[Metal Gear Snivy]

13 1/2 hours down, 10 1/2 hours to go...

[Bulbasaur]

I probably need my braces for another year.

[Teddiursa of the Sky]

Sorry, man. I now know how you feel. XD

[Bulbasaur]

Haha yeah. It's fine.
