Today, I went to the orthodontist's to get my braces tightened, and I chose baby blue bands. Turns out they make my teeth look extremely yellow. Only a month and a half to go. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I started the bleaching treatments that my dentist recommended. Now, my two front teeth have ultra white spots, the rest of my teeth are still yellow and the roof of my mouth is burned. FML
Today, I decided to finally bleach my teeth. After 45 minutes of stinging pain, my teeth are still yellow as ever. My gums, on the other hand, are opaque white. FML
Today, I got braces fitted. For the next two years, I'll be the most handsome guy on earth. FML
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
Today, I got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. FML
Today, I got a date for Valentine's Day. The date is with my orthodontist; he's going to tighten my braces. 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 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, 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate braces. Had them twice and need them again. Ugh

Your teeth look yellow because they are yellow. The bands barely make a difference in teeth color. Just get better Dental Hygiene, cause that's nasty.

If you brushed your teeth more this wouldn't be a problem. The color of the bands doesn't miraculously change the color of your teeth. So your teeth must have already been yellow. And people might not outright talk about you but they sure think it's nasty.

Incorrect. Color being set against color does make the human eye perceive colors differently. For example, you could have fairly -healthy- white teeth (but not brilliant white, because that's impossible without bleaching) and it looks like they are just white. Then hold up some kind of white fabric (stark white) to your face, and your teeth will appear yellow in comparison to the fabric. That's how our eyes work. Another good example is paint chips. You could pluck out something that you see as white, but is really a pinkish off-white, and it's not until you put a red against it do you see the pink undertones of the white. So, picking a light colored band (baby blue, which is also a complimentary color to yellow) will make her teeth appear more yellow.

Actually 98. Her teeth are yellow because she probably doesn't brush enough. The bands barely make a difference and I should know because I just got my braces taken off. And the baby blues, which were my favorite bands to pick, never made my teeth look yellow. Because I own and know how to operate a toothbrush and toothpaste combo. Which OP apparently does not.

The braces make your teeth look yellow anyway. I remember tons of my friends having to get their teeth whitened bc of braces. I think it's caused by the glue but I'm not entirely sure.

This is seriously an FML? sounds kind of petty.

They use colored bands for braces now? When I had braces 17 years ago I had a thin metallic wire to hold the main wire to the brackets on the teeth. It was a real pain in the a$$ :/ BTW I googled colored braces, and they are really cool, I'm jealous!
