Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Today, I got my braces checked by another orthodontist since I've had them for years and my teeth never got the way they should be. After 8 years and 27 x-ray exams, my orthodontist didn't do much except loosen the root of the tooth to the point where I can move it. FML
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML
Today, they finally took my braces off. 7 hours later I fell off my bike and chipped my tooth. FML
Today, I went to the dentist two years after having a front tooth knocked out because I could finally (barely) afford the $4000 bill for an implant. They checked me out and told me that my teeth have shifted to the point that I’ll need braces before receiving an implant, for another $4k bill. I’m sick of looking like a hick. FML
Today, I got my braces put on. This is the second time I've had them. The first time was after my cousin opened a car door in my face. This time a jock punched me in the mouth for saying that Reese's taste the same as Snickers peanut butter. FML
Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML
Today, I went to my orthodontist where I was informed that I'll going to the prom, to my brother's wedding, and maybe to university with braces in my mouth. FML
Today, I discovered that just because I got my braces removed does not mean my painful mouth ulcers will stop. I now have them under my tongue. I can't even lick my lips. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I had a sister who had that same problem, except she decided to get surgery instead. 5 years later it's like she never had an under bite. Maybe, if you want to, you can do the same thing and get surgery over braces

I'm not surprised. Dentists are some sadistic bastards.

just pray that they don't have to remove your third molars and premolars before they put your braces again, or you will feel the REAL oral hell. Trust me, I'm crying here.

This x100. My orthodontist tried to make me get braces again because my teeth had moved and created a small overbite. I told him to screw off because I'm happy with the look of my teeth and am having no problem with my bite. Ask yourself this, OP. Are you unhappy with how your teeth look? Are they causing you discomfort or pain? If the answer is no, then why get braces again? You're happy and that's all that matters.

I had my braces for two and a half years. Oral hell indeed. Popping pain meds like candy after each tightening and living on soft foods for a few days afterwards. No way in hell would I want to go through that again. Got them off four years ago and still have to wear retainers.

Sorry op I had braces for 8 years and am in the same boat. No underbite but I still have a lot of problems. As long as it isn't too bad and you can live with it then **** it. Nobody is perfect.

Get Invisalign. I'm 3 months into my 3 year plan and I love it! I have a pretty severe crossbite and overbite, and while it won't completely fix either one, it's very very close and is almost 100% pain free. I live in NJ as well; look up Dr. Zhu at Hunterdon Family Dental she is phenomenal!

I was told I'd have to get braces for another year in order to get enough space between two teeth to drill in a fake one into my gums. I just got mine braces off after 5 years. I told the dentist HELL no and I'll just deal with bridges.

They always say that. As long as your teeth look relatively straight and you can chew properly, you don't really need them. Just like any other business, they just want more money.
