braces

[theo]

I've finally decided to get rid of my last complex (yeah I pretty much like myself) and to go for the braces. I found a doctor here who has a certificate for using those new transparent brackets so I'm not really concerned about the look of it and anyway I've always cared about myself and not what others think (my buzzcut says I'm lazy, yeah). and he also has another type of device that gets placed at the back of your teeth, using the same system I guess, so it's a matter of choice. I've got a slight overbite, and that isn't much of a problem, though one of the incisors is misaligned and that made the canine next to it not fully come out. it isn't really noticeable unless someone is looking from the right side I guess, but it always made me keep my mouth shut and I'm pretty much of a fun-lover as some may know here so it kept me limited.

anyway, what I wanted to ask is, to what percentage do braces solve your problems? my teeth are all healthy and relatively white though I don't necessarily want a Hollywood smile, just to get them aligned so I can feel decent about them. and at what age did you get one?

Never had braces, I have naturally perfect teeth

Had them for a year or so when I was 13-14... can be a pain especially the weeks when they "tighten" them, but well worth it I'd say.

Used to have them. Loose ones, though. Definitely worth it.

had mine when I was 14-15... as people have told you, it was worth it..

Had braces when I was 8 years old. First worried that I thought it would look ugly to others but it actually wasn't. It was quite worth enough because now I'm ok.

Aches like a bastard when you first get them fitted.

8?!! you asiatics are weird

 

[Dipanjan]

I need to get them.


Temporary ones or Permanent ones?

 

[theo]

don't know yet, the dentist has to decide. though I think permanent ones. but I'm getting that stealthy sh*t.

 

[Dipanjan]

Haha!

Happens with everybody, when you suddenly realize that to atttain that perfect smile, you may need to lose some teeth. What a dilemma!

 

[theo]

what are you on about? I meant I'm getting this, it's called Lingual. some teeth may need to be removed if there's not enough space though I'm pretty lucky it's not my case too. pain might be a bitch but thank God for Special K and Trihexane.

 

[Zlatan]

I've never had those. But those things look like they can annoy the hell out of your tongue

 

[theo]

they give you some sort of lotion to apply on it so it doesn't mess with your tongue. that or vodka. however you get rid of the "13yo with braces" tag so I guess it's worth it. wearing normal braces for even a year drastically reduces your pussy per weekend quota, well at least here in the 3rd world anyway.

 

[Zlatan]

^^Hahahahahaha... I can't stop laughing

 

[ShiftyPowers]

That's brilliant. Kegels work too.

 

[::shinji::]

"Lisa needs braces"

"Dental Plan!"

 

[ShiftyPowers]

That's brilliant. Kegels work too.

Next time, quote the spam about vagina tightening.

Hahaha. I think the new Chinese interior design manager at work needs to read this thread.
