IDGM Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 One of my uncles had braces fitted leading up to his 65th birthday. They did the trick for him. My wife turned an opportunity down to have some a few years ago, don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairey Fairy Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Not a hope in hell would i let them do that to me. I had a retainer for two days, cried solidly for said two days and refused to wear them ever sinse. I had 4 teeth pulled out, and was supposed to have traintracks and a head brace (Think shelly from south park = 12 yr old Clairey. Not nice)That must of cost you a blimming fortune will! Torture isnt cheap!Edit: Could of got invisalign ones, you cant see them at all but you still talk like a spastic for a while.

Linz Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I had a retainer when I was 11-12, and wish now I had either kept it in more, or had been given the option of train tracks. My teeth are ok, but not perfect like other peoples I know who had to "endure" train tracks at school. I had heard that you are best to have them before 18, as by then your teeth have pretty much set. Does that mean you will have to have them on for longer to have the same affect now that you are older? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaRNi! Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ewww wtf?! dentist sees it every 6 months and tells me its fine. loli'm sorta used to it now its just a metal strip on the back of my bottom teeth so nobody ever sees it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunalupi Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I had them when I was younger too - had to have 8 teeth out first (4 milk teeth and then the 4 adult teeth tha followed) and then the braces, with rubber bands to move them all around to fill the gaps, and then a clear retainer when the braces came off till my teeth had settled again.And yes, OMG it hurts at first, and every single time you go back to have them adjusted, I had such a bad temper for days after every adjustment because of it But I do have nice straight teeth that are nicely space now though Not perfect, but much better than they were and would have been if it jad all be left alone.

Picola Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I really should of had braces but the dentist didnt bother telling me at the time.If I win the lotto vineers (sp) are on my top to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_Diamond Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I had my first consultation down the hospital on my 18th birthday. How chuffed was I?!I went to the dentist with toothache, 2 and a half years later I got the brace off lol. My teeth look better now but I wish I'd kept using the clear plastic ones for longer after having the train tracks off.My problem at 14 was having glasses......no way was I having a brace as well! At least I could wear my contacts when I had my brace.Every month I'd have time off work for the hospital appointment, used to go to the hospital, have the brace tightened then rush to mcd's for a breakfast or cheeseburger before my teeth started to hurt too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
