WIwhitetailhunter Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Re: Braces I had them many many years ago. Now I'm paying for both daughters. They cost a little more now than when I had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Braces I got them in the 8th grade. It's very awkward at first. It's almost like you have to learn how to chew all over again. The pain will lessen in a couple of days. Just invest in PLENTY of dental wax. And after you've worn them for a few years......then get them off.....your teeth feel HUGE and slick. ( Worth all the pain and suffering though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Braces Nope. Don't need em. I lucked out and I have every tooth perfectly seated in my gums and perfectly straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hookedonhunting Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Braces Just got mine off. Did you sleep any? If so good for you. It will ease up in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Braces I had them for four or five years. It hurts for 2-3 days after you get them on, then when you go back to get them tightened (thicker wire strung across them) it'll be the same way. They suck for the first little while, but after a few weeks you won't even know they're there. And they are well worth it! Like huntin girl said, make sure you get the wax to put on the braces because the insides of your lips will be a little tender from the braces poking them and rubbing on them, so put some wax on them until your lips toughin' up a bit.

wtnhunt Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Re: Braces Had them when I was a kid. It gets better, but it is uncomfortable when you have them adjusted or tightened every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckannmacher Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: Braces Oh the memories of having braces. I had them for a couple years and it wasn't terrible. I had to wear a retainer before i had them to push my front teeth forward a little so they could get the brackets on. had to crank it a quarter turn every week. wore it for like 8 months i think. then i had to get a bottom tooth removed to make room for the rest of my teeth. after 2 years i finally got those suckers off and man what a feeling. i forgot what it was like to eat corn on the cob. then like a year after that i had all for wisdom teeth cut out and couldn't really move my mouth or eat for a week. others have eaten that same day but i guess i wasn't as fortunate. good luck with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: Braces Yes! I have been there and done that!!! I couldn't even put my teeth together when they put them on. I know exactly how you feel. The bad part about it was that every time I would go in to have them tightened up it would pull on your teeth again and make them ache again!!! I had mine for 2 years. Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
