Today I got my bracettes. And well..

Quote: From my recent journal

Today I got Pokemon X along with a Fennekin plushy (both at wal mart :3). The only bad news is my ****ing spacers are hurting a hell of a lot. I hate these already! So right now I'm trying to keep my cool......Though I can't exactly eat certain things and it will be a ***** about brushing and flossing. Plus one braccette and one spacer have already popped out....So I'm a pissed PIKA! Well at least about that part.... Just letting you people know. Tis all.

that sucks.

It gets worse. I have 2 more years left.

i'm sorry trix, but it gets worse (but then it gets better later)

*hugs back* Thanks. Though I don't think I really want braces. I'm already pissed off with pain from these little *****es. It's pushing my damn teeth.

I'm sorry ;-; Hope you don't have as much pain tomarrow. I don't need braces. Congrats on PokemonX & Plushie though ^.^ Hope that takes your mind off things

The worst part of the braces? It actually comes at the end, believe it or not.



It doesn't hurt nearly as much as it does at the beginning, but it will freak you out.

The braces become so attached to your teeth and gums overtime that you are so used to them, that the gums bleed heavily once they finally take them off.

Oh ****.

i had them for about 6 years or something because my dentist didn't know what the **** he was doing...

weird coincidence too, my brother got braces today too.

Trix, braces are a bit annoying, and there is some pain associated with it, but it's really not as terrible as people make it out to be. As long as you do your best to follow instructions that the orthodontist gives you, you should be fine.

Gosh people! Stop scaring her!

yeah and i heard it takes a couple of days for the gums to maybe a few weeks for your gums to strengthen and heal, though proper care when you have your braces can help reduce the effects when you take them off (especially flossing, but if u suck at flossing like me i recommend mouth wash) also don't do what i did and drink coke everyday for like a month with no straw, i'd suggest drinking other stuff that isn't soda or drinking soda with a straw (thanks to this i got addicted to these guava and blood orange drinks and ginger beer).
ur also gonna get sores from the braces which can be painful and annoying but they aren't really that bad

The dentist never gave instructions....Only a fellow student from my school who was randomly there.

Oh well now. I wish my dentist was not a dumb arse. I believe one spacer is making things worse and pushing the other teeth together.

The Dentist never gave me instructions.

wait you guys never got instructions?, i got like extra stuff to care for my teeth, a list of things i shouldnt eat and a documentary on braces

Well Australian dentists are smarter than the ones I visit.

Spacers suck!! I hate them as well. The braces will hurt badly for a few days, but it gets better. The extra flossing and brushing can be a pain, although taking good care of your braces can help you get out of them faster. I know someone who knew someone () who said that that friend and their brother had braces at the same time for the same issue. One took great care, one did not. The one who payed good care got out 2+ years earlier. So it'll pay off. (I take extremely good care of mine right now.) It'll be weird eating food, but as strange as this sounds, it'll make sense later, as a friend told me this and I found it helpful. Chew up.

I have had braces for a while now, I forget how much longer. And I have heard that getting them off hurts worse than the entire thing. >~<;

Sorry if we are scaring you, as Bash28 said, but we just want you to be as educated as possible. The more educated you are, the easier this will be and the more ready you'll be for it.

I think most people (myself included) know what it's like and are feeling what you're going through. It sucks bad, and hurts worse, but big picture: it'll be worth it. I've had orthopedic care for 3 years now, (don't get my started on how many teeth pulled... O___O) who knows how much longer. Like I've said before: sucks and hurts, and it's hard to see the positive. I was like, forget this! This hurts so bad etc. I still think that sometimes. But at least we'll all have amazing teeth.

The thing worse then braces is the waiting room.

Thank guys.

Hm, that must really suck...

Well I went back to dentist today for that one spacer. Also yesterday 2 more bracettes fell out. But I don't have to worry about those.

just great, now I know i'll expect lots of pain for when I get MY braces on eventually.

I'm lucky, I don't need braces unless I want to make my teeth look perfect

Hey look at the bright side. If your teeth are sensitive like mine to sugar, at least you get the option of only sucking on hard candies (inb4 someone says something about as dirty joke). And at the beginning you have the best reason for eating ice cream often (My grandma told me that ice cream would help quite a bit with both the pain and eating something.). Just try not to break the bracettes, if they fall off randomly like a baby tooth don't sweat it, they''l stick another one on your next appointment. And the spacers last for a month (30 days tops) just be careful with the spacers if one pops out you have to go back and get another put back in that spot.

Oh another bracette fell off. While I was asleep.

damn, that's a pain...

A bracket fell off 3 separate times. I feel you.

Jeesh, did the dentist do a lousy job with them? <.<;

My teeth were pretty straight, so I only needed them for a year.


It sucked when I had them, though.

Most likely when she did the one with the cross bite and that popped off. That was not gonna even bother staying on. But hey at least I don't have to worry about them. Only the spacers.
