Rathbone*Grint Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey Guys, just wondering if you guys have braces and want talk about your journey?have most of you had spacers before you got them? How long? Are the treatment the same as in other countries too? Link to post Share on other sites
Arie Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I had braces for a year and a half. I hardly remember having them lol. It was not a big deal for me. I didn't have spacers or anything extra either. I guess I got lucky. Link to post Share on other sites

Arie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's not bad at all!!! Assuming you don't have them on for long. I have friends who had them on for like 5+ years!!!! Crazy... Link to post Share on other sites
Kim. Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Never had 'em. Pffft. Lucky. I, actually, never had them at all. I did get into a sports accident and had to get surgery done on my teeth about 9 years ago. Whenever I have dental insurance, I plan on going back to have a few flaws fixed. I'd like to have braces on my top row of teeth, particularly the front. Link to post Share on other sites

I actually loved my braces when I had them and I really miss them. I guess the only bad thing is the first few days having them in. Your teeth hurt so much. Link to post Share on other sites

Thriving Joy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Considering this was March..I suppose I'm a little late. I had braces for a year and a half. I found them really painful whenever I got them tightened. I just ate a lot of mashed potatoes and soft breads. I've heard chewing gum helps work out the soreness but I've never tried this. If they start cutting up your mouth you should be able to ask your ortho for some wax. Futhermore, they can be extra careful to make sure there are no lose ends if they know you are having issues. Hope you're doing well with your braces! Link to post Share on other sites
i love emma Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well I have never had them though I did come close - had to visit the orthodontist but he said not to worry. tbh i would really like them just to neaten up my teeth a bit - they arent bad but it would be nice. I also want my teeth whitened like Simon Cowell lol - i envy his teeth. Dont they like file them down though to a thread them cap it with a fake tooth for celebs with 'perfect' teeth ?

Some people get veneers on their teeth. They are porcelain and only put on the front of the teeth. I've only heard good things about them, but I haven't researched them much. I think this is what you're referring to . I've never heard of them filing down for veneers, but maybe they do. That sounds more like a crown though.
