It hurts after a while. I haven't gotten used to eating with them yet.

I did. Twice, in fact. The first time, the problem wasn't fully rectified so I had to get them again. It used to hurt when the dentist (read: scary man) tightened the brackets. Ouch.

I used to :) I didn't think it was that bad guess I had a sweet dentist :D

I absoloutly LOVE my braces! They look really good on me- but the hurt at first.

I've had them for seven years! I have the craziest orthodontist on the planet.

I never have. Heh, I remember in secondary school everyone in my class at some point or another was going to the orthodontist, and I remember panicking thinking that - whatever an orthodontist was, I didn't know - it was something everyone was supposed to do at our age and I wondered why I hadn't done it yet!

Then when I found out what it was I suddenly wasn't so worried.

My brother has braces though. He's coming towards the end of it now - he's had them for years and gone through all sorts of different kinds, now he only needs to wear a retainer during the night (he takes them off before breakfast then puts them back in after dinner). So I don't know what it's like to have braces but I've seen someone else go through all the different steps.

no never in my life!!!!!!

might have 2 get a retainer soon though :(

I'll probably get them soon though.

Not anymore, but I had them on for 5 years, starting when I was in 4th grade...it was awful, but at least I got them off while my classmates were just getting theirs so I was all wise and stuff with perfect teeth!

Not anymore, had them for 2 years :3

Not anymore. But I got a rainbow retainer :)

Nope

I used to, now my teeth are all nice and straight (:

I wish I did though, I think they look cute!

Thank god for that! No offense! But when I had braces I was forced to wear some elastics on my teeth that made my jaw grow the wrong way but it doesn't look so bad so I'm relieved but I have to go under surgery sometime to get it fixed

No.

I won't be having them for a while.
