I just got my braces off today!

/dances in chair
/huffs

It wasn't all that bad, and I didn't have any "white spots" where the braces were, even through I didn't brush much. Heh. Lucky, I guess. But anyways, I'm just really excited so I made a post, wee.

The only thing that sucks is this retainer.

Why the hell did they name it a "lisp" when people with a "lissssssssp" can say it right? Damn, people are stupid.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(speech)

Stereotypically, people with a lisp are unable to pronounce sibilants (like the sound "s"), and replace them with interdentals (like the sound "th"), though there are actually several kinds of lisp. It is somewhat ironic that this handicap is called a "lisp," as this word is difficult to pronounce for some with the condition. Because of this, the condition is sometimes jokingly called a "lithp".

Brush your teeth twice a day...or die.
 
I hate having to take out my retainer every time I brush, and then I have to brush the retainer too...

Well congrats! I had braces for the longest and it did feel great to get them off. So good stuff.

I don't think whoever made that up was stupid. Just very, very cruel.
Have you got a retainer now? If you do, wear it! I hardly wore mine, undid all the work, the year of braces, 4 teeth taken out, all for nothing. :|

Haven't been to my dentist since. As I'm not legally an adult, he'd probably try and force me into having them again. And I just cannot be bothered with it.
 
that's actually weird, because i got my braces off two days ago. not exactly the best feeling ever.

That's very weird, me and a girl were just saying that!
 
I wish I coulda had braces.. But now I just have one of my BIG TEETH up front ..the other oen was lost, so the other scooted to the middle, and grew...now I look ****ing funny. Parents were too poor for fake tooth/braces. Now I'm ****ed4lyfe
 
I need one too... Well, 2 actually. one is to push my upper teeth out, and the other is to strighten teeth. Ah, well.
 
Braces suck. I wish my mom had spent the cash on an X850 and a 30 " monitor instead.

:laugh:

It is quite alot of money though :O
 
there's quite a few posts on these forums about teeth.....i dont know why though....hmmm :rolleyes:
 
Congratulations! I remember what it was like wearing braces...not so much with the fun. Anyway, good for you. :thumbs:
Just remember, never fold a napkin around your retainer...It's also not fun rooting through the trash trying to find it again.
 
Well, I have the bottom one now (always wearing it, I'm not going to flop on a thing I have to do for a year to un-do something painful for 3 years), and I'm going back in 2 weeks to get my top one. Bleh.

The best thing to getting your braces off:

Mmm, mmm, enamel!
 
congats on getting the braces off - perfect teeth now eh.

Oh yeah and if you have a problem, whatever it is called is usually difficult too - dyslexic is hard enough for most people to spell right (please tell me i spelt it tghir)
 
Its all SQUISHY in your mouth, aint it?
 
I will get my braced late this summer, and I must keep them for two whole years! 2!
