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.

Don't worry, everything will be fine when you get your braces on. Having braces is like living in anesthetized heaven with intervals of orgasmic pleasure when you get them tightened. I cried when they took them off. I envy you, goofy-ass chipmunk.

Well you see, this is the world wide web... People all over the world is on this thing. And sometimes people far far away is having the opposite season as you. Next time I'll tell you about the weather and why not everyone's having same weather as you.. :)

Besides the fact that the Southern Hemisphere has winter while it's summer in the Northern, sometimes FMLs are published months after they are submitted. At least, I hope that's the case. There's a coffee shop one you guys are going to love if they ever wise up and publish it.

At least you had it done over winter break. I had eight teeth pulled as well and got my braces on a few days before school started... my cheeks were swollen, and I couldn't eat or sleep either, which made concentrating during class really hard. At least you're on break..

Hope your teeth grow back :D if they don't sharpen your two front teeth and act like Dracula

I had nearly the same thing happen. I have had 14 teeth pulled in all - 9 right before I was given braces in high school. Believe me, as hard as it is now, it will be all worth it when you have a beautiful straight smile for the rest of your life. Just hang in there :)

I don't know if I should be offended by the last line of this FML or not.

Wait... if you commented 5 minutes ago... Then how did you miss the 20 previous comments about how the seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere... You're a moron?

Australia's in the southern hemisphere. Because the Earth's axis is tilted, the seasons are opposite on the northern and southern hemispheres. So for them, summer is in December and winter is in July.

Please learn about hemispheres and come back when you've passed the third grade. :/
