Today, I had eight teeth removed in preparation for getting my braces fitted. My winter break will now consists of barely being able to sleep or eat, tasting blood, and looking like a goofy-ass chipmunk. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML
Today, I just got back from school with my mouth feeling like a bomb site, and also very hungry. I just got my braces installed yesterday, and I have to wear them for 18 months. I can barely eat anything solid, which means I will be hungry more often. It's going to be an awesome 18 months trying to focus on school! 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 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 lost a tooth and got my jaw wired shut after my toddler managed to break my jaw by whacking me with a plastic toy. Hello at least 8 weeks of being unable to talk while only eating meals that have been thoroughly blitzed into a liquid form first. FML
Today, I was eating ice cream and struggling to chew a particularly hard chunk of chocolate. After finally breaking it into pieces, I spat it out because it tasted terrible. Then I discovered that I was missing my temporary crown. Now I have no upper molar. FML
Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML
Today, the dentist told me I needed to have two of my wisdom teeth on opposite ends of my mouth pulled. I suppose a liquid diet won't be all that bad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Poor love :( I've been exactly where you are right now. Trust me it'll all be worth it when you're finished with your braces and have a beautiful smile!

Look on the bright side OP, isn't it better to go through this over a break versus school? At least you don't have that to worry about that at the same time.

I feel for you there on the braces aspect. I couldn't eat or drink most of the stuff I enjoy now. And the pain sucked, as by the time there was no pain left, it was time to get them adjusted; so it went back to pain

I feel half of your pain; I had to get 4 teeth pulled out for my braces. But on the brighter side, at least you'll be getting a beautiful smile in a couple of years, and the misery of being practically unable to eat or sleep will be in the past! Hope you feel better soon :)

On another note, did you pull all of the teeth in one go? It's better to pull them out on one side first, and then pull the rest out next time. You can at least chew on one side if you do this.

This only affirms my belief that dentists and orthodontists are all evil sadists who enjoy nothing more than inflicting pain on you, both physical and mental.
mikeymayhem_87 15
Correct, Doc!

Mine firmly believes in never removing teeth for braces. I feel lucky to have had him as my orthodontist and get no teeth removed - the only downside is braces are worn for 8 to 10 years. I suppose teeth removed or a long time wearing braces, either way it's a drag to go through the process of having perfect teeth.

I had to get eight teeth taken out before I got my braces as well. I hope they gave you the good stuff. and blended chicken soup is awesome. Trust me.

Am I the only one that sees that this says "winter break" in the middle of summer.....?!

I was waiting for someone to point that out. I'm very confused.

It currently is summer due to it being July.

I suppose it hasn't occurred to you that here in Australia, it could possibly BE winter?
jmar411 12
You all are ignorant jerks, OP is Australian therefore OP lives in the southern hemisphere making it winter...
tim374 26
I meant to say it's currently winter, is there any way to edit that?

I saw it too and was wandering if anyone else noticed. I dunno, maybe its winter on their planet. Lucky bastards!!!

You're a moron, everywhere below the equator is winter right now, that's how it's always been. I'm 22, from Texas and i've known about this since I was a small child. look it up or go back to school.

God damn Americans think there's nothing outside America

Goddamned judgemental Australian twat generalising about people when he clearly has his head so far up his ass he can taste his own esophagus... Yes myusername23, I'm talking about you. The second commenter on this thread (who thought it was only summer in July) is Canadian. So **** you AND your generalisations.

I have a friend I e-mail regularly in Australia. He occasionally mentions the seasons. Befriend overseas people and learn a lot! (That is if your social studies text books in school sucked.)

It's winter in Australia dumbass
ebonyirony 29
Australia. Never been but seasons aren't always the same as where you live.
Bekll 31
Blake, did you just say on their planet? Really?

How the hell do grown adults not understand that on the other side of the equator, it's the opposite season? I learned that in 1st grade.

I was waiting to see who'd be stupid enough to ask this question. And just a quick FYI, my sister is 9 and knew since pre-primary that when it's summer here (NH) that it's winter in SH.

I feel your pain. I just got my wisdom teeth pulled and all I've done for the past two days is throw up blood :/
hockeyoceancity 13
Damn you must have had a bad surgury... I had tree wisdom teeth pulled and it didn't hurt, only alittle bloody when i talked too much.
maemismile 22
I look like a chipmunk :/ people can't stop laughing at me.

What are you talking about? It's the middle of summer!

It's winter in Australia because they're in the southern hemisphere. Listen to your teachers in school, instead of doodling.

Would you rather have them teeth removed during the school year? Cheer up, at least you can hide in your own cosy bedroom for now...til it gets any better.
