I just got my bottom braces on about an hour ago, and i have already broken a bracket off... Ive had top's for around a year and a half now, and the bottom ones feel like someone is pulling your teeth out of your mouth.
 
Atleast you got the chance to get braces mate...Most people don't get that :)...them things aint cheap
 
I'm 23 and I'm going to be getting braces in the next year, look forward to being called "Brace Face". ManBearPig makes a good point though, not everyone is lucky enough to afford to get their teeth straightened. I had to wait until I was old enough to afford it on my own.
 
Never had braces, my teeth were good enough not to have them. IM the lucky one. :D
 
wow... you broke a bracket already? you have to be patient with braces, i got mine in 6th grade, the pain will pass after 3 days, just dont try to touch your teeth
 
I feel your pain. My teeth have always been perfectly straight but I suppose that the orthodontist disagrees. I have braces. I guess telling a lie is worth $5000 for an orthodontist.
 
My parents wanted to get me braces. My orthodontist strongly recommended I get braces. I didnt get braces.
 
Think breaking brackets suck? Wait till you get a retainer and it breaks. Then you're out 200 bucks. :mellow:
 
I had braces for 3 years myself; all I can say is that whenever you get them adjusted up, Advil is your friend. Otherwise, you're in a world of pain whenever you clench your teeth or try to eat.

Also, don't eat Tootsie Rolls, I vividly recall snapping a wire on one. It was the only one I ate in 3 years :glare:
