Anyone have or had braces?

Question:

Has anyone had braces? How was it like to get them removed? I'm so sick of braces and I'm getting impatient. This is the 2nd year I've had them and I'm praying I get them off soon. How long did it take u 2 get them off?

Answers:
i had braces for 2 and half yrs. it doesnt hurt to get them off and its so fast. your teeth will feel slimey at first and no matter how tiny your teeth are your gonna think they look huge, but once you get used to them they'll look normal. when you get your retainer dont lose it!! i lost mine twice and now my bottom teeth have moved

Other Answers:
3 years...6th to 8th grade.... it sucked...getting them off was not painful....and by the way, when they tell you "next time, we'll take them off", they're lying...it'll be the time after that. lol.

good luck!

nope

i had my braces on for 2 years. be patient...because once they come off...they are worth it.

i got them off in in 2 days ..it didnt hurt i had them on for 3 years
you'll love the results after they come off. : ]
good luck

i've had mine for 3 years and it sucks. The worst part is getting them off b/c they sand the stuff off your teeth. It feels really weird and kinda hurts

4 years. your teeth feel slimy at first until you get use to having only teeth and no metal.

I had my braces for almost 4 years 7th-10th grade.. It didn't hurt to get them off, but it was well worth it in the end.

i have them im in 7 grade i have to have them on for three years the best thing to do is wait and my sis had them the only diffrentce of haveing them off will be strait teeth and if you feel it with you tough no bump from the bracets!well hope ya get them off soon!

I have braces right now, the kind called Ortho Clear.
They are strong clear plastic that fits over all of your teeth.
You can hardly see them. You need to take them off to eat or brush your teeth. I have had them since October, and you can really see the difference! Every 3 weeks, I get a new one to wear, which is tight at first, but within a few days, my teeth move a little and it is more comfortable. I am not sure when I will be finished with them, but I know that I will have to wear a retainer every night for the rest of my life in order to have my teeth stay nice and straight.

i have a friend who's had them on for 4 years..looong time... and still doesn't know when they're coming off. I've heard your teeth feel sorta slimy when they do come off and have been sanded and all...

I have them too. I get them off in February hopefully. =O I need to have them on 2 and a half years altogether. Ugh.

Yes I first got my braces when I was in thee middle of 7th grade, and I still have them I am getting them off probably the middle of my sophomore year. They told me I would get them off before sophomore started up this year but they are still on, but after the braces comes the retainer lol.

I have had mine on for 7 months and in hte long run i will have them on for 2 years.

i have them! the dentist sed i can get them taken off in 2 years, they do suck becuz i cant eat candy or popcorn. :-(. but "think of ur beautiful smile" thats crap, i hate them, but i hav 2 suck up and deal.

everyone different with me took 4 years feels funny when they out at the roof of mouth wrinkly like when you get out of bath after been if for long time
