    I wish I had braces!!! I know it sounds dumb but I just want them. Not just for my teeth but just cause. But it would help the stupid gap in between my teeth. I'm supposed to have them but we cant afford them...

    Your parents should check around - some orthodontists will work out a payment plan for people who cannot afford it otherwise. It's worth it to get it done sooner rather than later, in my humble opinion, but if necessary, you can wait and get it done in your twenties - my friend Bonnie did, and is happy with the results.

    Maybe you wouldn't want them when they're first on....lol

    Afford them? You should come over to England, for 16 year olds and under they are free on the NHS which is good because dentristry work is terribly expensive

    BC_MoM, you sound much like me when mine were first fitted. I know just how you feel. But the pain does eventually cease and you soon get so used to them that you forget you even have them

    Same here..But since we're getting alot of stuff payed off now, they're hopefully in my near future.
    Jess, I'm sorry you're in pain, but at least it's ONLY a year, and it will go by REALLY fast!

    I have braces on right now. Whenever I go to get them tightened, I usually can't eat for 1 meal afterwards, because of the pain, but if you just take small portions off of the food and chew with your molars, not your front teeth, it shouln't hurt as much. I have to wear mine for about 1/2 year more. They really aren't that bad and I think the pain gets less and less each time you get them tightened. Use a lot of wax. It might taste gross and feel weird but it prevents lots of nasty blisters. I didn't use any and I got many blisters and had to rinse with warm salt-water and that HURT like heck. Well good luck and hope the pain isn't that bad.
