[chicmom]

I'm in the same boat. I have to have 5 teeth pulled first now, but I had gone to the ortho when I was 12 and I didn't have all these teeth then. A couple days before I was scheduled to get mine on, my step-dad beat my mom and we left. It was under his insurance, I should have still been able to still get them done, all she had to do was request it with the judge, but she didn't

Now, 20+ years later, and I hate my teeth! My front right tooth is completely perpendicular, and my bottom are all crooked. I cant afford them now, but oh how I wish I could!

I get mine off in february!!! Whoo Hoo! Can't wait!

I just got them adjusted yesterday, and my mouth is SO sore right now.

This is my diet after my braces are adjusted:

Applesauce, Yogurt, Pudding, Smoothies, and Soup. Lots and lots of soup.

I had mine back when I was in 5th grade. I only had them on for about a year and a half and had to wear the retainer for about half a year. It really wasn't so bad, except for a little soreness after tightening. Now 12 years laters and I still have nice straight teeth! I thank my parents all the time because I would not have been able to afford it on my own!

I had braces twice along with various other procedures and surgeries. I have a genetic condition that messed with my mouth, but luckily not as badly as it could have been. My oldest son has had them on once so far and will likely need them again when more of his adult teeth come in. My youngest will probably need them as well.

Mine are on for the second time and I am 42.I hated the fact my teeth were crooked

I currently have braces, was told I would get them off in November.

Just went to the dentist today to get a mold of my teeth and stuff. Was not fun at all.
