Re: Poll: Braces

  • Yes I did, for 3 years, taken off for one, put back on for one, then taken off for good.
  • Yep, 2nd-6th grade.  I had my first ortho appt. in Kindergarten and my last my senior year of high school!  My mouth is worth a lot...

  • Did I ever!  I had them from 2nd grade until I was a Junior in HS.  It sucked!  I even had the glorious headgear- I was that cool!  :)

  • Yes! I had them taken off the end of 8th grade, I think they were on just over 4 years. I wore my retainer for like a week. They haven't moved much, but they did a little.

  • Yes.  I had them in 7th and 8th grade, and then again in 10th and 11th I think... I got them off for good the summer before my senior year.  When they were taken off the first time, I was really good about my retainers, but I knew they were moving anyway.  Turns out I had 'tongue thruster' (like Miranda had in SATC) where my tongue was pushing my teeth out when I swallowed.  Anyway, the second time around, I got the clear braces, and it wasn't as bad.  I am still anal about wearing my retainer, but my bottom teeth have moved slightly again.  Gah.  I hate teeth!

    OMG! Me too! Until 11th grade. So 8 years. I never had the headgear, but i this permanent retainer that my mother had to put a key in and twist to widen my jaw. It sucked. Food would get caught under it, so i had to use a water pick every time i ate just to have a clean mouth. Ugh.. so glad it is over.  

  • Never had to have braces!  The dentist even told me once I had some of the straightest teeth he had ever seen for someone that never had braces :)
