Never had them. i think i was meant to have them
when i was at primary school i had them,the one where theres just one metal wire thing on the top of your teeth and a plastic pallette thing in the roof of your mouth,wasnt too bad actually.
I had fixed ones one the top row and my eldest is going to need them on his too.
I am glad that I had mine, as I had an eye tooth that was growing out of the top of my gum, and now they are all in line with each other :D

i have one of those teeth,top right hand corner,i call it my fang tooth.

Ste has got to have braces because our old dentist messed up and decided to remove 8 molars all in one go for him. This has meant that there isn't enough room for them to grow back into, as there aren't any teeth there to use to buffer against. How angry am I about that!!! Though he also needs some reconstructive work eventually on his front teeth as he knocked half of both front ones off, and now has them temporarily capped till he's 16. He has his first appointment with the orthodontist next tuesday though, so we shall get an idea of what is going to happen then...

what kind of brace did you have to get rid?
I had a headgear one for night wear initially to move my teeth apart slightly and then the fixed "train tracks" on the top, to bring it down and in line with the others. Then had a plastic shield type thingy for nightwear to support them till the gums hardened again

how old were you when that was goin on? were you paranoid about having train tracks etc? i want to get mine all straight etc but i think id be paranoid and feel 'ugly' with braces on.no offence meant to anyone who wears braces.

I think is worse when you are younger than older.
I probably will be getting them, my teeth are wonky so I look like Bugs Bunny. I don't really mind, I'm just worried about being picked on

i had one across the top, not across all the teeth just the eye teeth to pull them down.
my daughter is having some teeth out in a few weeks to make room in her mouth then possibly a bottom brace in about 6months

My sister is 50 she has braces on top and bottom, dentist said approximately 2 years before they come off..alot of older people are getting braces cos back then they were more concerned about their childerns teeth than their own, now with an empty nest and more money around they are getting their teeth corrected... i think braces stay on depending on what shape the teeth are in before they were put on.. some are just in for a short time, others longer,,Good luck :)

every other child in my daughters school has them and in my friends childs junior school some already have braces and some have had some teeth out ready for braces in the next couple of years. it doesnt have the stigma is used to have as so many have them anyway. also remember if you have braces you will have lovely straight teeth and not wonky ones when older!
don't where Braces but if i had to have them i would

thats cos the teeth dont always move how they expect them to so they dont want to say you only need to where them for a year then find out it will need to be longer!

exactly, if i had to wear braces i would, id rather have nice teeth for the rest of my life and have braces for a few years than have wonky teeth just cos i was too vain to have braces!

Nope, never had them. I don't know if I ever will! :(/ :)
i have had a fixed one- it was alright but there was a build up of plaque. now i have a retainer which i have to wear twice a week till i'm 30. will i do that? no. but i don;t regret it- i have nice teeth!
hehe i had headgear and braces and my total years for wearing them were 4 years and this was all in high school i was the first one to get them can u believe that? :thumbsdow :thumbsdow i hated them and before i was in high school i had another type of brace in year 6 which was only for a year so in total i had them for 5 years i am so glad they are out and my teeth are so straight!!wohoo![/FONT[/SIZE]
mine is so killing me right now

I had them when I was 10! I got them taken out when I was 12, and had a retainer for a year. They're quite straight now, lol :) The braces were quite painful at first everytime they were tightened, but it gave me a reason not to eat carrots! :rotfl:
you'll get used to the pain i did!!i hope i get used to them soon im going out tomo and saturday and i dont ant to be annoyed by them
i had them got them on a week before my 18th....i wasnt a happy bunny

I don't really need them, as I only have one tooth out of place.
I got them when i was 13 i think. Had them for a year, got rid of them!! I have a retainer somehwere, that i'm meant to wear at night, but i can't be bothered.
Mine didn't hurt, only when i first got them. Felt like my teeth were all going to fall out!!!

i am getting them but i do not know when. i am on the waiting list for a orthodontist appointment. 2 of my friends have recently got braces and one of them is in so much pain that it has got me worried about getting them now.
i got them when i was 16! and didnt have them taken out till i was nerly 19! i had bottom ones and a brace that went on my teeth but not at the frin at the back, that oine hurt like hell and it was so hard to eat then i got my train tracks at the top! hurt everytime i had them tightened and then when i had them off they were perfect! But my wisdom teeth decided to grow and now have pushed my teeth back to how they were all that pain for nothing!
