Has anyone had braces? How was it like to get them removed? I'm so sick of braces and I'm getting impatient. This is the 2nd year I've had them and I'm praying I get them off soon. How long did it take u 2 get them off?

i had braces for 2 and half yrs. it doesnt hurt to get them off and its so fast. your teeth will feel slimey at first and no matter how tiny your teeth are your gonna think they look huge, but once you get used to them they'll look normal. when you get your retainer dont lose it!! i lost mine twice and now my bottom teeth have moved

I have braces right now, the kind called Ortho Clear.
They are strong clear plastic that fits over all of your teeth.
You can hardly see them. You need to take them off to eat or brush your teeth. I have had them since October, and you can really see the difference! Every 3 weeks, I get a new one to wear, which is tight at first, but within a few days, my teeth move a little and it is more comfortable. I am not sure when I will be finished with them, but I know that I will have to wear a retainer every night for the rest of my life in order to have my teeth stay nice and straight.

Holly what your associates imagine shouldn't count number in case you want braces and do not get them it may reason some terrible discomfort to the overlapping enamel as you grow old. Your roots start up bumping jointly and boy do I bear in mind that discomfort!!!!!! do not ignore your enamel. the following is my propose: do no longer do the sparkling!! Why? The sparkling is sparkling and basically invisible yet they are very cumbersome and may be considered baring on your lips once you mouth is close. I surely have the conventional metallic braces with silver bands, they mix with the metallic and they slightly bulge! reliable success!

Yes I first got my braces when I was in thee middle of 7th grade, and I still have them I am getting them off probably the middle of my sophomore year. They told me I would get them off before sophomore started up this year but they are still on, but after the braces comes the retainer lol.

I had my braces for almost 4 years 7th-10th grade.. It didn't hurt to get them off, but it was well worth it in the end.

i've had mine for 3 years and it sucks. The worst part is getting them off b/c they sand the stuff off your teeth. It feels really weird and kinda hurts
