hello myloters, do you experienced to wear braces on your teeth? i thought that if you have a complete set of teeth and no damage its perfect already and im proud to say that i still have a complete set of teeth. But i begin to get worried when i noticed that my front tooth got spaces and even my lower teeth even they are still complete. Then i consulted a dentist and told me that i need to wear braces because the of my bite, and the sizes of my molars are small and w/out knowingly because of my bite i didnt noticed that my tongue pushes my front teeth forward. When the doctor explain it to me i got dissapointed but i want to make it correct. and now i just had my upper and lower braces. lots of adjustment. how bout you? have you ever experienced any tooth problem? share it. thanks, cai

When iwas 9 i had braces put on and i had them on for around 6 years or so. I hated having them onand hated having my inside of mouth always bleeding and the skin came off and it was just no fun at all and when they tighten the wire your mouth hurts and you dont want to eat but only soup and thats no fun at all because who only wnats to eat soup all the time. Now that my wisdom teeth came in and i have had them removed i need braces again since my wisdom teeth came in and they came in sideways and not straight up and down My bottom teeth are messed up and iwould need one tooth pulled to even get braces on again but i would like to get invisalign but its more expensive and maybe in a couple years i will get it and have straight theeth again one years but for now i dont mind it at all and its life.

well my dentist suggested braces for me because I still have my baby teeth but Im like no way..I dont want metal in my mouth and I can deal with just having smaller teeth then the typical twenty year old my age. ^___^

i never had a chance to have braes because im alredy contented with my teeth no problem what so ever....and i know it not that easy to have something in your mouth it feels awkward eating and talking with braces...

I used to have a bad underbite when I was younger. They told me I was going to need braces too but it corrected itself over time.
