Gah, I hate my teeth. I have braces now for the second time in my life. I had them on my top teeth for about a year, bottom for another, and then nothing. Now I have full braces until next August. My orthodontists have no idea what they're doing and I hate braces. *le hiss*

I have braces now for the second time in my life. That stinks. My neighbor had to get them twice too. She got them off then shortly after a molar came in crooked.

I have them, and I don't like them much. They hurt at first, you get used to them for a few months, and then WHAM! they get tightened or adjusted. Then you go through pain and suffering for about two weeks and the process repeats.
I think mine will come off in late 2007 or early 2008.

But it's so nice when you get them off... I have very nice teeth now and even though I absolutely hated having braces, I think it was well worth it.

My orthodontists have no idea what they're doing and I hate braces. *le hiss* Oh, it's bad when that happens. Everyone I encountered was like, "Oh, you/don't chew gum/eat this/take care of your teeth so meticulously? Why? It's so stupid." And they didn't realize that could happen. Did you do that, though? Take care of your braces really well?

Yes, I took care of them and did everything they said. However, they were stupid and put them on before I had even lost most of my teeth.

Oh! That's so ridiculous.
However, they had to put mine on before my last baby tooth came out. When it was time to pull it out, I donated it to science and put it in Coca-Cola for 4 days and saw what happened to it.
What color elastics did you tend to get the most? Before I realized I could get 'tooth' colors I had blue on top and white on bottom. Also blue and teal.

I always wanted mine before I got them. Now that they're on my teeth, I can't wait to get them off. But apparently my teeth are very "co-operative" and I hope the treatment will be finished sooner than it should be.

Braces are like Grillz: Awkward.
