Let's hear about having braces, retainers, any of that good stuff that mothers made you do growing up..

I had my first retainer in 4th or 5th grade. I had braces for 18 months, then I got 2 permanent retainers placed behind my teeth, one of them bent, and so now I have a retainer that I am supposed to wear at night but don't.

Your turn.

[Reizvoll]

In the 8th grade, one of my friends somehow almost got their retainer down their throat.

Basicly he almost choked on it, but still... Kinda strange, I thought they were too big to swallow.

Personally, I've never had retainers or braces or whatever else there is. I have straight teeth, but I only brush twice a day and never floss, and I have NEVER been to the dentist in my life.

[thetribe]

Yea I know I know. Lucky B-WORD! I still love you though! <3

[Reizvoll]

alright, <3 back at you. You really have to come to my house this weekend though. The next two weekends you will possibly be busy!

[football05]

Is everyone invited LOL

[Reizvoll]

Sure, if you bring lots of .

[Cali]

Never had braces or anything like that. I have contacts though :x .

[thetribe]

some contacts make people's eye colors look cooler and well they help ya see so they aren't too bad are they?

[thetribe]

football, like Reizvoll said you can come but instead of popcorn bring chocolate because he didnt have any there last time :x

[Reizvoll]

You're invited Cali. Bring lots of chocolate.

[thetribe]

Yes, come to Reizvoll's house EVERYONE and bring LOTS of chocolate and something dealing with Blue Collar Comedy lmao!

I had a lip bumper in like 5th grade.. it made me look like i was chewing. that was pretty embarrassing.then i had braces in 8th grade, which led to the retainers that i'm supposed to be wearing right now but i dont. i couldn't even tell you where they are.

ohh and i also wear contacts, i hate them. my eyes are extremely dry so they kill me. i bet i sound like a pretty big dork.

[thetribe]

no its all good bessie. almost everyone had to get through the whole braces/retainer deal. i dont know about the lip bumper thing, but at least it sounds cool...

[15thRegionCrazy]

I had braces my freshman and sophmore year.. and I have a permanent retainer right now

[football05]

umm for me everything everyone has mentioned would be a big ole negative to me b/c I dont have contacts, never had braces, or retainers....my teeth are fine and im glad 8)

[BCF4L]

I had braces for nearly 4 years. I'm supposed to wear a retainer now but I don't. I was given glasses to wear because of migraines. They said my eyesight was the cause of them, but I never wear the glasses either.

[football05]

what are you into bcf4l......is it hanging wright?

[BCF4L]

LOL. Well it is kinda cold in here. Cap_PDT_0:

[football05]

O NO.....heres some fire, dont hold to close tho might smell the scorching of hairs we dont want that lol :wink: :wink: :wink:

[4leaf]

I had braces for three years.

[Beef]

I had braces twice....5th and 7th grade....and now i have retainers glued in my mouth since 8th grade. Best way to get them, cause you can't lose them or break them! 8)

[thetribe]

you can break them technically. i bent my top one and well i didnt really know it until my teeth started to go out of the places that they were perfect in. so yea they started gapping a little bit in the front and i went to my orthodontist and he made me get a new $200 retainer but this time its not permanent so needless to say, i dont wear it too much. i might wear it once a week to sleep in, if that much.

[Beef]

yeah....the glue comes loose every now and then but not too much of a problem.

[thetribe]

my glue hasnt came loose yet, just hate it that i bent the damn thing.
