ok, so iam 17 and just got braces... iam so pissed. most people get them when they are younger like 13 or so. iam the only one in my senior class with them and now they put this metal bar in my mouth and i cant even talk right!!! it sucks!!!! whats sucks the most is that my teeth are stright as can be too!!! only reason i needed them is because one tooth didnt come down when i was younger and they think it will mess up all the other if they dont attach a wire to it and pull it down. iam so pissed off....so...does any one else on here have them???

Okay, I got braces when I was in 8th grade and finally got them off my senior year of high school. You try take your prom pic and senior portraits with braces. OMG embarassing. But yeah, i was only supposed to have them 2 years, but skipping appointments and stuff doesn't help. Oh yeah and when they say wear your damn rubberbands, they mean it. After a while, my orthodontist said, you wearing your rubberbands or what. And I said no, so hes like well, schedule another appointment and I'll just take them off. And he did, and my teeth were pretty straight. I got the lecture of wearing the retainer but I never did. 1 year later, teeth shifted, retainer doesn't fit, but my smile is still looking fine
