Kenny Clone: You're the idiot actually. First of all, look at my avatar. It's obvious that no one would believe me. Second, my father asked some of those questions too. It's called sharing an account. Actually Kenny it's kind of funny. You're the idiot and you must have a lot of free time on your hands to look at the first question ever asked by Sports Fan 123.

LOL You are a real piece of work. Do you take something to make you that stupid or is it just natural? The reason I'm curious is because if its something you're taking you may want to contact the Poison Control Hotline because I'm pretty sure you've overdosed. Definition of an Idiot (or maybe just likes to be a jerk).
1. Asks the same questions over and over again. Source: Just take a peak at Sports Fan 123's list of asked questions.
2. One minute he's a kid the next minute a Mom the next a Dad. Source: Two previous installments from this nit wit that I copied and pasted below. (remember now for this question he's a kid getting braces, but with a sprinkle of his magic pixy dust) TADA.
How To Grip Pitches?
I have a 13 year old son, who wants to know how to throw more than a fastball. Can someone tell me how to grip pitches (like change-ups, circle changes, knuckleball, curveball, ect.), or give me a website or something like that. Being his father it would be great to teach him.
and
Please Help! What Do I Do?
I'm a mother of three (a 13 year old boy, 8 year old boy, and 5 year old girl). My 8 year old really didn't like Hebrew School. But then when he went this year, he started to become orthodox. But he is trying to change my whole family into becoming an orthodox family. He is making us buy Kosher meat and have Shabbat (I don't mind that but even on vacation, he insisted on it).

ouch I remember the first day i got braces.They are going to hurt really bad the first couple of days. Before you go in make sure you eat . Make sure you have lots of pain meds too you will have a bad headache from all the pain. Make sure you brush your teeth good if not when they take them off you will have brown spots make sure you brush good were they start the braces at. Also dont get white b/c white will stain easy. Dont get red they show up really good and it looks like you got something in your teeth. I would just go with black ,blue,silver. After the first month you will not even notice them only when you go back in to get the tighten. Also make sure you get some kind of chap stick you wont be able to lick your lips well.

To make you feel better I heard on the news that braces are a sort of status symbol among kids because only parents with money can afford them. It hurts when they tighten them, but it's really not bad at all. Get fun colors, maybe try your school colors? Yellow and orange looks bad, trust me, I tried it. Black, purple, blue, even green and red are okay. Do NOT get white if you have stained teeth as it will make your teeth look yellower. Clear and silver are the LEAST noticeable.

No, braces are not that bad. I had them for awhile. What is a pain about braces is when they tighten them OUCH!! Other than that
no probs just brush your teeth good and floss. Don't worry people
wear braces and date and have a fun teenage life I did.
If you get to choose go for clear. Be careful kissing some else
with braces.
Good Luck and Relax

The color bands don't really matter because they will be changed often. I would suggest getting clear brackets and clear bands though. You almost can't tell you have braces. If you do get color though, don't get green. It looks like you have food stuck in your teeth. Also, be sure to ask for lots of wax. Good luck.

Awww you lucky duck! I got mine off in Febuary after having them on for like 3 years. [I seriously, sorta miss them] They're not that bad at all, you get used to them, yes your teeth hurt when they get tightened, but advil easily helps with that. I know they say "Don't chew gum or eat candy or nuts." But you really can. Just don't do it until after a month or so after getting them. Braces are pretty fun. Oh and I think you should get blue!

For me, they were that bad. They would irritate me. Thank God i only had them for a short time. I shoud have went with Invisalign. But dont worry, you will have them off in no time. Almost everyone i knew when i was 13 had braces. Get blue bands.

I had braces in high school and they are not that bad. They hurt for the first few day but after that you will get used to them. if you dont want them to stand out i would get gray or silver bands then they will blend in

.....i'm being honest-they're rather painful, though they won't be the end of the world.......i've never had them myself, but my older sister wasn't able to eat solid food after the things the orthodontist does.....but you'll be used to them in maybe a month or a few weeks, so it'll be alirght in the end. As for colors......red and green alternation would be cool for xmas.

They're not that bad. They do hurt awhile for the first few days, but after awhile you get used to them. Try not to eat solid foods at first because that'll make them hurt more. Chicken noodle soup was my best friend when I got mine on :-)
