no braces, never had them

i dont think so..

I used to have them...

I used to have braces for 3 years. I didn't wear the retainers properly and now I'm living to regret it. :(

I have them right now, and I don't mind at all. :]

I have them now.

"But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you"

I had what I think is called a 'functional appliance'? I just clicked them onto my upper and lower teeth, and there were blocks over my teeth that fitted together in such a way that meant I had to keep my jaw forward. So it fixed my overbite.

I would have had normal braces, but a skate boarding accident when I was younger meant that it would have caused more problems to some of my teeth than fixed them.

To be honest, I'm glad I've got a better bite now (my Grandma tells me it's healthier, I should probably trust her since she's from the US, and dentals big there I hear), but if it wasn't for the NHS I probably wouldn't have had them. My teeth aren't perfectly straight,k but I don't mind, they have 'character'

Any one else have the braces I had? How'd you find them?

yeah actually im wearing it on now
and i dont know why but i absoultly love it and im pretty sure ill be sad to take it off

top and bottom plate for a year and a half
