Did/Do you have braces?

nope..but I wouldn't say my teeth are "perfect" :rolleyes:

I need them but don't have them. .

I had them, got them on my sophomore year HS and had them for 6 years!! I have had them off now since October 2002. Still have my retainers. :D

I had them but got them taken off about 4 years ago now, I think. Lol...I'm paranoid about my teeth not staying straight, so I still always wear my retainers at night....not sure whether I'm supposed to, or whether I still have to or not but my orthodontist never told me when I don't have to wear them anymore.

Never had "em. :)

No, but I need them.

My top teeth are perfectly straight, but I have not enough room for all of my teeth on the bottom, so I need them for the bottom teeth. Never got them, but am planning on it in the near future. I'll be one of those mom's with braces :p

Yep I had them in 5th and 6th grade. I still wear my retainer every night.

I wore braces when I was in my 20's. I had them on about 3 years. My teeth weren't that bad when I was a teenager but got worse later, so I got them straightened up some. :D

I've never had them, I guess my teeth areperfect.

You think it's embarassing now, try giving a business presenation when your mouth is sore from getting a wire tightened and you have a mouthful of braces!

My teacher last year said her daughter was suppouse to get them off and eveytime they went to get them off the dentist would say you need them on for a few more months everytime. Then finally he said do you wear your rubberbands all the time and she said pretty much. She'd take them off on weekends and though it'd be ok. Well think again... no, her teeth just went back to how they were.Then she had to go through the whole process again. :eek:

Yep. Had them on for two years. :D Best thing I ever did.

i guess i don't need them, but i don't have perfect teeth.

I have them on right now! I just got them about a month ago!

My dentist when i was having my wisdom teeth removed said i needed braces,, and i have a under bite that could be taken care of with braces over time.

but i dont care,, i never have been picky about my teeth.
