Shetland Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 i am due for braces now.. actually late, my whole appointment dates got messed up due to one missed appointment. i dont want them for more than a year though, i am NOT going to college with braces. infact i might just not get them (i have teeth missing from each side of my mouth now, due to this which sucks but its totally not visibly when i am smiling, talking normally etc, only when i open wide. i wonder if that if i leave it without braces to close the gap... that will effect the growth of my jawline? thats kind of worrying now...)

Post-It Note Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've had braces for 5 years, but I got them off several months ago. I still haven't gone to clean and whiten my teeth yet.

..Vector.. Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Congrats man :fun: Fortunately, i've never had to have braces (i'm 16) and i'm hoping i never will, but i can imagine how painful/irratating they could be :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/332419-braces-finally-off/page/2/#findComment-586070005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejn Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 set for more pain :rofl: Be wise though at what you do with your wisdom teeth. First of all make sure that you have to remove them. A lot of dentists will just say "yeah get rid of them" just so they can make money. Look at your xrays and see if there really isn't any space. In my case, they were in contact with the tooth in front of them (would of pushed em while coming out) so I had no choice. I went twice, starting by the right side and then the left side. You can remove all 4 of them at the same time but that's insanity. 586069926[/snapback] Heh, my wisdom teeth were coming in completely sideways, so they really did have to remove 'em. And not only that, but they did all four at once. I'm hardcore like that. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/332419-braces-finally-off/page/2/#findComment-586070536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dEs0lAt0r Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Congrats, I got my bottom braces off at the beginning of this month and I'm getting the top off next month, so same story for me. I've had them for about a month Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/332419-braces-finally-off/page/2/#findComment-586071525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomi Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hm, first I had top braces alone for about 2-3 months. And they've added bottom braces around a month ago. I've never had to wear any of those extras. My friend got his top braces a few weeks before me, and I got my bottom braces a few weeks before him, and he has to wear a detainer, and I don't. xD I just hate it when meat gets stuck in your teeth.

Septimius Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Congratulations. :) I got braces when I was 7, so having them off was no big deal, as I didn't even remember NOT having them.
