Anybody else here not get braces when they were young?
Me. It's really not a big deal except for one misaligned lower incisor that scrapes the underside of my tongue.
I had braces, but my teeth were mongrel tier crooked. Braces changed my life
In High School and College I was always complimented on my signature smile. Felt pretty good.
had really bad teeth as a kid, got braces, twice. real pain in the ass. it was worth it, i guess
Me
It isn't too late if you're an adult, as long as you have the money for it.
I didn't want to in the beginning, why should I as a kid, and then even the only one among my classmates of elementary school?
Later on, I realized I need it, accepted the suffering out of my own will.
Have been in treatment for about 8 years.
The results were disappointing, just another failure that showed me that suffering is good for nothing in the end in my case.
Yes. Had 4 teeth removed and braces for 3 years. Teeth looked great after.
Now im missing a molar and have a hole in another tooth. Despite brushing twice a day.
>Mom got both her and me braces during freshman high school
>Got made fun of and gums hurt a lot during those 2 years
>Junior year they come off
>Still get made fun of
>Retainer breaks at some point
>Mom refused to pay the bill for some reason
>Teeth move back within a year
It's a fucking waste of money if you don't do upkeep.
I didn't. My teeth look fine apart from the buck teeth but braces wouldn't have saved me from that
Yes for the most fucking retarded reason ever
>go to dentist, mum has booked appt with ortho
>they check my teeth say I can get braces
>i want braces, i am at dentist with dad
>i say to dad I want braces
>dad says no, because they pull your teeth out
>fast forward 5 years I hate my face and my teeth look ugly af
>go back to dentist with mum, they luckily take me on the waiting list 1 month before my 18th birthday (NHS charges 3000 GBP after 18)
>now am 20, waiting for 1 more year til they start my treatment
Fuck you dad, you idiot, never should listen to your retard advice
no, my teeth grew in ok. they are fucked for other reasons however.
Ya, never needed them. Teeth turned out pretty well, it's one of the first things people compliment me on.
I was too poor for braces. I never had dental or medical insurance my entire life. It led to a lot of bullying in school and people calling me vampire but in the end it didn't really matter that much
>whole jaw is malformed
>went to dentist at 12 was told its too late
>tfw 30+ niggers get braces
That ignorant slut fucked me
I have overbite very severe, currently going though orthodontic therapy (braces) for 1 year now. Results very good but still have severe overbite and weak chin.
>Had 4 teeth removed
Including your wisdom teeth?
Yeah and had to remove two of my front upper teeth. I look like a piece of shit when I smile, but whatever.
>get braces
>don't brush teeth regularly
>have white spots in the center of my teeth
h-haha
I had them, but probably a bit to young. They got taken off and my bottom center 2 teeth got smashed into a v shape. It looks fine but it bothers me so ill go and fix it in the future hopefully.
Me, my teeth are all out of place. It fucked my jaw.
>anybody else here not get braces
>not
why is everyone answering that they did get them?
Im tired and didnt see the "not" word in ops post.
My teeth are bit gay, upper and lower teeths have sex all day long. I think they don't wanna be Straight
Never had them, Dentist said worst case is I wear a retainer to sleep in another 30 years. Brush your teeth and floss.
>crooked mongrel teeth as a kid
>my parents hope they will magically get better or something since we couldnt afford to get me braces
>12 years later and i cannot chew or talk properly
>every interview i have been to, the guy just stares at my teeth and asks me to repeat myself a bunch
>still can't afford braces but now i would probably need orthognastic surgery which starts at like $40k
life fucked me i guess. i always wake up with blood in my mouth from grinding my teeth in my sleep. straight-teeth anons will never understand how nice they have it because it is the norm to not be a broke loser i guess
>Brush your teeth and floss.
Lmao no
I didn't.
Teeth are perfect.
>smug face.
i had braces but i never wore my retainer once i got the braces off because i was sick of having shit in my teeth. my teeth have shifted a bit but they aren't that bad.
>life fucked me
No, your parents did by being stupid and poor.
If your teeth are that fucking bad, any insurance would cover orthodontia. And if your parents are so unbelievably poor that they don't have decent insurance, then you should have been on medicaid, which, again, would have covered them if they were that bad. And if for some reason that wasn't a possibility, almost every orthodontist offers financing on them.
no
my teeth look like complete dogshit
My teeth are fucking invincible, tho I once got braces. Had to get them removed because they were fucking up my teeth.
>tfw resent parents because they didn't even bring up braces even though my teeth were fucked from the beginning
now i'm 28 and my teeth look like shit but i don't want to be "that adult guy with the braces"
I got mine when I was 19 and had them till I was 24 I think, needed them for orthognathic surgery
Adults get stuff like invisaline nowadays they can wear when not in public. I don't know of anyone who gets actual metal braces.
I didn't get braces, and I rarely ever visited the dentist. Unsurprisingly, I have horrible teeth.
Dangerous to have surgery while you're still growing and a malformed jaw would require surgery, then braces. You could probably get it done now, but it'll cost a lot.
Never had braces, teeth are good.
insurance didn't cover it because every ortho we went to said it was considered cosmetic. i have a lot of siblings so it was out of the question for them to pay it off over time and not pay for my siblings braces. and yes, poor and stupid parents is what i meant when i said life fucked me over
>tfw parents couldn't afford braces and just told me to buy them myself when i got older and got a job
>became hikki neet rejected from neetbux instead
>didn't want to get braces when I was a kid because I thought they were annoying
>now I'm an adult with a big ugly overbite
>my sister says I look like fry
i fucked up
You know it, senpai. And now I still can't afford them as an adult. Team /poverty/ checking in.
ye, hated them. bout 6 years till they were finally removed but I never wore the retainer since i couldn't swallow or relax with them on so theyre not so great
