Today, I have an orthodontist's appointment, and I told my best friend that I was going to get my teeth fixed. She replied, "Wow, thanks. Your smile's really awful to have to look at." FML

Today, at the store, I heard a kid complaining about getting braces. While I was saying 'thank you' and 'bye' to the cashier, his grandma must've seen my slightly crooked teeth. She pointed and said, "Without them, your teeth will look bad like that man's!" Everyone around looked at me. FML

Today, while my orthodontist was working on my teeth, she made the comment, "Wow! It looks like a murder scene in there!" FML

Today, I went out for a few drinks with some friends. All night, I kept smiling and showing off my newly brace-free teeth. Later on, one of my friends drunkly asked, "Why does she keep smiling? Her teeth are fucking jacked." FML

Today, I heard a little girl saying how much she didnt want braces to her mom because they hurt and make people look ugly. I looked at her and said, "Aww, there not that bad. See, I have them!" I then smiled to show her. She turned to her mom and said, "See!" then started to cry. FML

Today, I told a friend I was going to the dentist for the first time in years. He immediately replied, "Yay! Teeth whitening!" I hadn't mentioned teeth whitening. I'm not even going for teeth whitening. -5 XP new insecurity unlocked. FML

Today, a guy said to me, "I'd really love to see that smile back at my place." Trying to be cute, I asked him if he was single. He replied with, "No, but I am a dentist. I could definitely fix that crossbite." FML

Today, I took my 12 year-old to the orthodontist. While I was talking to the dentist about what was needing to be done, my daughter listened. With a straight face, the dentist joked, "Yeah, we're going to need to rip off her entire jaw." My daughter won't leave her room anymore. FML

Today, I overheard a coworker talking about going to what sounded like a dentist's appointment. As she left later, I jokingly said, "Remember to open wide!" Turned out her appointment was with her OB/GYN, not a dentist. FML

When you get braces, beaver chomp her nose.

Good thing she held her tongue before you decided to get them fixed. You should commend her on her upcoming boob job. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought for sure you'd do something about those."

What a bitch. I'm sorry, I feel your pain. One of my front teeth cracked and fell out a while ago and I haven't been able to afford to get it fixed/replaced. I'm incredibly self conscious about smiling or even opening my mouth. But my friends know better than to make fun of me >:(

Burn! Anyone? Okay no... After that statement I wouldn't think of her of a best friend...but you might think of something that evens it out...just don't prank her to drastically...

I had braces (even though my teeth weren't that bad). Best money I ever spent! I smile all the time now.

Sorry OP, I'm sure your best friend was joking, right? Besides, you're going to have a nice smile after your treatment, anyways. (:

How terrible! If it makes you happy, yes, fix them. Don't do it for anyone else.

Obviously it's partially true, or you wouldn't be getting them fixed. But, she could've said something more like, "That's great! I hope it goes well for you." Or something nicer.....

Dead set OP, you need a new best friend. My teeth are completely stuffed, and I had a friend calling me "the mouth" behind my back. Needless to say once I found out, she was gone! Sounds like a toxic friend. Good luck with the orthodontic work OP!
