Why? Get Invisalign.
Didn't have a choice, plus I got a screaming deal. It's only going to be 3-4 months so I'll tough it out.Quote:

Don't sweat it man...3-4 months is nothing.
I just had them on my upper teeth from Jan 04 - Jan 05.
I was 23 at the time.
Man did it suck...but it didn't stop me from doing the shit I normally do.
But I guess that's what you get for drinking some dude's champagne bottle on NYE.
And if you have any questions, drop a PM.
I'm currently in dental school.
And my dad does ortho.
I still have nightmares that I have my braces on and I got them off over 13 years ago. I set a record with my orthodontist for "length of time wearing braces" because I kept trying to take them off myself. you may only have your's on for a few months, but the mental scarring lasts for years.
I got braces halfway through grade 9. They said one and a half to two years. Three years later there was still no end in sight. Since I didn't want to go through my entire high school career with braces, I went in one day and said to my ortho, "All right man, I'm done. When can we schedule the appointment to get these things out of my mouth?" He thought I was joking, then realized I wasn't, made me sign a release of liability, and then took them off. Never set foot in his office again.
I wore my retainers for about a month, then decided that I didn't give a fuck anymore and tossed 'em.
I'll regret it in ten years, but right now I like it.
I had braces, Im not an adult, but I still had braces. It took about three years for me, and yes it pretty much sucked.
I did the same thing after 18 months. Haven't regretted it once.Quote:

Damn, either you guys have some bad teeth or whack-ass orthos. I'm thinking the latter.
Sam, I hope you don't end up regretting it 'cuz chicks a lot of chicks are turned off by less-than-straight teeth.
Sucks to be British sometimes.Quote:

Anyway, what I've found from talking to a lot of the doctors, and seeing the case studies, is that it really fucking matters what orthodontist you go to. A good ortho can fix shit in not so much time, and have you lookin' perfect again. A bad orthodontist..well, sounds like some of you already had that experience.
For whatever reason, I felt the need to spew this worthess shit.
I... hate.... you. :FIREdevilQuote:
