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.

_PurpleTortugas_ (im on an app so I can't reply to their thread), I have no idea what your talking about I have sensitive teeth and the most I've ever had to do is pop a pain pill. I also had them for 4 years.

I wasn't aware one could get that many teeth removed at once..

Yep. I had my top 4 and bottom 4 removed right before I started first grade. My school pictures have no teeth in them! They had to take them out to make room for my adult teeth which were starting to impact from cramped quarters. I also had a second set of two adult teeth under my front bottom ones that I had to have taken out at 15. They called them my "Shark teeth". So, all in all, I've had 8 teeth at a time taken out as a child... and then my 4 wisdom teeth plus shark teeth at 15. Not to say that it was good for my teeth in any way though. My teeth still came in cramped, my mother wouldn't pay for braces (since I'm not the pretty child like my sister), and now half of my teeth are cracked.

And here I am thinking it's gonna suck to get a kidney transplant in a few weeks, your situation is way worse!......

I've had both teeth removed for braces AND a kidney transplant. At least with the transplant you get sympathy from others (including "Oh, you must be so brave!") and can use it as an excuse for not doing anything you don't want to do.
