Braces

WHoa, you have an underbite? That's awesome! I have never seen a person with an underbite before.

Lol. I don't really look very different.. but where I have an underbite (thats what i think it is anyways. either that or an overbite) my top lip is incredibly thin but my bottom lip isn't. Looks sorta odd. Think of a cross between Angelina Jolie and someone with thin lips..
And I have trouble closing my mouth, so people think I'm staring amazed at them.. lol. quite funny actually.

A girl at my school has underbite, and if you have ever seen Hob the Troll (search myspace) her teeth stick uo like that sorta when she sings! lol!

I had braces. glad i did. i got a tandpasta smile now
BUT
do brush your theeth good. a friend of mine didn't and now you can still see where her braces were placed.

I had braces a couple of years ago, and i wasnt that bad... Yea it hurts a little the first 2 or 3 days, and that's it. People didnt even noticed that i had them  Its kinda annoying with all that metal in your mouth, but youll be glad that you had it (;

I've had mine for a good while now.... rubber bands of DOOM.

Gee, that sucks Katie.

Now, I've had my braces for almost a year. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, but, thanks to these braces I have, the pain doesn't last as long as normal braces do after a wire change. I only had an expander for two months, still no rubber bands yet, and my teeth look better than they did several months ago!

[Katie]

I had a retainer for four/five months, then braces for over a year... My teeth were TERRIBLE. They don't look so bad now!

I feel your pain literally because I recently received braces again and the part that stinks it that I won't get these instruments of torture off until nine to twelve months. P.S. I have my dad's jaw which pushes out a little bit which is why I needed braces again you'll get through it trust me I know I am.

[Katie]

I'm seriously convinced that all infections hook onto my braces, and that's why I get sick so often.

[marcolopez]

You know the best way to rid your teeth of infections is to brush them or if that doesn't work go see your orthodontist.

[Katie]

Not infections on my teeth. Things like the flu, and strep throat, and such... I mean I have a disease that causes a lot of immune deficiencies, but I've pretty much had it for my whole life (though I didn't know it) and  I swear things have been worse since I got braces.
