Popcorn and any other kind of corn is a bitch with braces.
No soda? Thats fucked. They never singled that out, instead only told me no stuff with lots of dye...I said fuck that, and ate pretty much whatever I wanted. |

Ah yes...pain killers. Unfortunately they don't completely get rid of the pain. Man...how many days of suffering did I go through to get straight
teeth...dayum.

Ustra... I feel your pain... I had braces in highschool and remember the intense pain when I first got them installed. Every tooth in my mouth was loose for
the first 48 hours...
My tip for you... buy a waterpik and stay the hell away from corn on the cob... |

At least you didn't have to get the metal bridge thing that you turn with a key until it cracks your face. Pain, yo.

gluck ustra! i'm getting them tightened next week - tighten + extracting some back toof so the front ones have room to move back and straighten up. ouch
 .
they haven't been hurting me for the past few weeks at all, except for the rare wax-applying for some irritation. plus i'm really happy with the results so far (which i can see immediately since the braces are at the backside) - they already look so much better and straighter <3 |

Yeah, mine were fine the past few weeks too. I guess I started with and 18 wire and now I have a 20 on. I also went with light blue bands on my lower brackets
this time. My teeth are starting to get sore, or tender as they like to say.
and eek, getting a tooth pulled doesn't sound like any fun. |

I feel your pain
I've had braces from when I was 12 until my last year of high school. I'm still undergoing orthodontic treatment to slim down my
huge-ass teeth, so I have to wear an uncomfortable retainer for at least another year. It hurts like hell every time I get them tightened, but I guess I'm
lucky since my mom is doing it for me.

As I enter my right age as adult, I never have a braces in my teeth but it is clean and looking good. I took the last dentist three years ago to check my
teeth.

After you get them on, the adjustments aren't bad at all IMO. I ate everything I wasn't supposed to and nothing happened to me. I mean fo'realz,
who is going to give up popcorn?

So what has it been like a year? I should really get braces again but I hated them the first time. What type did you get again? How much did the whole thing
cost? Make sure you WEAR YOUR RETAINER. Otherwise all those teeth will shift right back. Hopefully in the 20+ years since I had my bracers they have made
retainers less annoying. I hated that thing.

I hated the spacers. It was like having condoms between your teeth.
(although, braces on their own merit are a great method of birth control) |

i got lingual braces last may ... the teeth were basically straight within 6-8 months, and since then its just been touch-up things. in seattle, from a
relatively expensive doctor, it cost me $12k.

I hated braces! I got them in when I was 10 and got them out 2 years later. I remember wanting them because I thought they were cool. But then the pain
started.
