Life is hard when you wear braces. It depends on you.

I have braces but then, you really need a lot of stuff. A brace-designed toothbrush and brace-designed dental floss. It's quite annoying to me that other people are getting braces just to look cool. Not for teeth-aligning. Boohoo. They're wasting money. Btw, it's really expensive.

[quote=saberAlter;#84414;1337174640]it costs a rather big amount of money, it's high maintenance and it hurts. I will never understand people who would wear it for purposes of so called "fashion."[/quote] Amen. Then whenever you'll make out; it will make sabit sabit here and there. It hurts, okay?

I'm curious if wearing braces is REALLY effective in teeth's alignment ? @T : It depends. But for "fashion purpose"? They're wasting they're money. Why not share their blessings to "less fortunate" ? You know, braces are reallllyy eexxxppeennssiivvee.

[quote=Letsirk;#85332;1337225998]Yes. You'll go to your dentist every week, 2 weeks or every month to adjust your braces. And change the color of the rubbers![/quote] the hard thing is when you're not using rubbers, at the latter part of me having braces, we used wired that we're really a pain when the sides of your mouth is *nasasabit* braces are fine, but very irritating at times and quite a pain in the *** cause it needs to be checked weekly*for me* but retainers are harder cause it makes you talk funny.

[quote=asawanibatman;#87743;1337298935]I heard that changing the color of the rubbers is the most painful process. True?[/quote] It depends whether you have the continuous style of the rubbers. Like the upper part of her teeth.. Super painful. All your teeh is like being compressed that you can't eat for a week! Then the bottom part is just okay, one rubber per teeth which happens if your teeth is already aligned and under going maintenance.

[quote=lLovely.1pis;#87897;1337308907]HUWAAATT ?? 50k ?! Really ?!!! I thought it was 10k+ ...[/quote] Yup, 50k. I heard that the cheapest is like 40k.. And some dentists consider the problem of their teeth as their pricing. So if you have extreme teeh problems... [i]pabunot mo nalang[/i] loljk, ask for discount. And the thing is, you need to pay half of the price, like for instance, it's 50k.. You need to pay half of that, 25k for your first day, you'll have braces that day. Then the next day you'll have your braces adjusted, you need to pay like 2k every visit. You need a lot of money since some dentists charge the cleaning of your braces and if there's a removed bracket, it costs 700 pesos to 1k each. btw, there are many designs for the bracket which is really cute! Mickey mouse :3 (The pink one) The normal one is the black one.

[quote=Letsirk;#87552;1337267447]Does that happen?[/quote] Yes! And they really hurt. Have you tried it when there's this rubber thingy connected in you upper and lower brackets so it's hard to open your mouth? That was a pain in the ***. [quote=Letsirk;#87987;1337311003]And removing the rubbers is heavenly. Super.[/quote] I agree! It's like having your teeth breathe!
