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.

Laugh out loud, oral hell... I had that when my girlfriend had braces.

Maybe you could get Invisalign- or some other type of clear "braces!"

Ask for a retainer that's what I got

Get a second opinion.

You probably don't *need* to fix your underbite unless it really bothers you. If you didn't know you had one until the orthodontist told you, then it's probably not a big enough problem to go through that again. Or, you could do what someone else said and get surgery. They'll cut through your jawbone and move it a few centimeters and then bolt it back together. If you just want to go through a short hell instead of a long hell, that is.

You've already had to go through five years, How did he not fix this over that time?

I had the same thing happen. I had braces for six years to correct a massive overbite. After a while my teeth started to slide back. So I got them again for another year. It sucked, but it was easy compared to the first time and I'm not super self conscious about my teeth anymore so I think it was worth it.

I had to wear a retainer for 9 years, starting when I was 2, got it off when I turned 11, just got 2 of my 4 wisdom teeth removed over the summer, and now get to spend the last of high school and beginning of college in braces. But before I get braces, my jaw will need to be put back in place so my jaw will be broken, shifted around, and I'll spend the summer in a face cast eating spaghetti smoothies. So I'm having trouble feeling bad for the OP.

Don't you have back retainers cemented to the back of your teeth, I had teeth like that but had to have these put in place cause I would have needed braces again... Teeth shift, sorry bout your luck
