I had them for 3 years, was fine with them
My brother literally used wire cutters on his one day he got so mad lol

Had braces for 3 1/2 years. Damn eye teeth grew in like this > < instead of V V so needed to have the braces align the adult teeth with my others when they got pulled down.
Never had any problems and ate everything I wasn't supposed to such as popcorn. Although what bugged me was that the ends of the wire would never be cut all the way so it would poke the side of my cheek constantly.

yeah, popcorn and anything with rice were my mortal enemies. My people had these weird wire cutter things that they could use to bend the wire so it didn't poke my cheeks, but the wires could still shift around and it would scratch on my molars.
Had them for 5 years. 2.5 years each time.
I didn't like it because it was hard to clean my teeth while they were on. However, once you got used to them and you get them taken off, it feels like something is missing from your mouth.
Worse part of getting braces is just wearing your retainer after, because you have to be careful of when you are supposed to wear it, and if you lose it you will lose a big deal of money depending on your dentist.

Love your sig. Ever since I saw the still image of wiggle arm trollface I always type weird when trolling.

3 1/2 years. Before them I had teeth turned at 90 degree angles as if they were talking to the teeth next to them, I also hand bands to move my jaw forward which I never wore (the jaw misalignment was minuscule and my doc said it didn't really matter anyway).
First day with them I literally single teared because I couldn't eat my favorite stuff.
I still have a bottom retainer in (metal, glued) which I think I should get removed now since it hiders it near-impossible to floss my bottom teeth (thank the LAWD for Listerine)

I had them for around three years, it was a drag but I ate mostly everything they said not to without any downside. I just hate having to keep track of the retainer and wearing it every night and nonsense. Also, the ortho I go to cemented some wire on my bottom teeth which is lame.
