Today, I went to the orthodontist, and found out when I was supposed to get my braces off. His exact words, "You'll get them off around Christmas... but we're not sure what year." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 arrived 10 minutes early to my orthodontist's office to get my braces off. It turns out my appointment was actually one hour earlier, and now the next available appointment is in four weeks. 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 got my braces off. I also got my tongue pierced. Both by my orthodontist. 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 on. When we got in the car my dad looked over and said "well at least we dont have to worry about boys for the next two years." 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, 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Unfortunately not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign, otherwise I wouldn't be spending 3 and a half years with my train tracks :/

Gotta wear those rubber bands! Yeah they look rediculous, are a pain to put in your mouth, and hurt when they snap, but apparently they work. I wouldn't know. I never wore mine either and prolonged the process.

As someone who had braces much longer than was necessary, the best advice I can give you is WEAR YOUR FREAKING RUBBER BANDS. (If you're required to.)

Also had braces for 4 years.. The results are DEFINITELY worth it.

If you've had them for a while already, and you feel your orthodontist is pushing it, I'd get a second opinion. I was supposed to have braces much longer than I did, but I was moving to the US, and once I told my ortho that, I had them off after 1 year of use. She "sped up the process". Either way, having braces is no fun, but you'll be happy you had them once they're off!

Average time for braces are around 1.5 years...so it should be soon* *I had mine for two years...and have been using my retainers for like six years now...

I don't see why people get braces. is there some other reason besides being for cosmetic purpose? if there is no other purpose then you don't rely need them. everyone has their flaws, but those flaws are apart of you. its ok to want to change them, but you got to wait.

It's to straighten your teeth and keep them healthier.

Seriously, 45? No, people get braces because they just look so cool.

Well I got braces because I had an overbite that was about 1.5 inches out. If I didn't get it fixed it would **** up my jaw. Normally you get them if you have an overbite or a gap in your teeth. Because I had an overbite my jaw would lock up every once in a while and that's not something you want happening everyday.

Underbites and overbites can cause several issues, trouble eating, sleep apnea, etc. braces help rectify those problems
