Aw, Sorry Tiff! I wish I had gotten braces when I was your age, but my parents couldn't afford it. I've done all the dental stuff - fillings, root canals, crowns, surgery, wisdom teeth... Even had a root canal gone bad, and had to be sent to a specialist cuz the dr broke off a tool IN my root. Fun stuff.

My BF had braces for 8 years (Somewhere along that number, I can't remember for sure). His teeth were really messed up. He doesn't talk about it a whole lot, but I know if was in pain alot. He's got beautiful teeth, but they did shift back a little. I'm sure he didn't wear his retainer. Tsk tsk!
