Metallic O'Dalek Posted July 9, 2008 You are only doomed if you don't follow the rules and don't have teeth like mine. I'm getting them off next week, after only a year, and that's without following all the rules. Anyvay, I few sowwy fow ya. =( Quote Link to comment
Jordboy1 Posted July 9, 2008 1. Be prepared to eat nothing but soup and applesauce for at least a week afterwards from every appointment. 2. Resist the temptation to bite the orthodontist's fingers. 3. Beware of the Jabberwock. |\\// BEWARE!! 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. |\\// lol That's like the best shrine quest ever. Anyway, people, it's not like someone died, you don't have to act like something horrible is happening to Turakii! -Jordboy1 Quote Link to comment

Tak-E Posted July 12, 2008 I actually get mine off in two weeks. So no worries, they aren't that bad. Plus, you get to pick awesome colors to put on them, so that's always cool. -Taki Quote Link to comment
Turaga Dlakii Posted July 13, 2008 Take it from somebody who just finished. You are TOAST. Takuma Nuva Take it from someone who's still dealing with it. IT'S BASICALLY NOTHING. And Takuma is trying to scare you or something. Having said that, I barely notice them RIGHT NOW. Quote Link to comment

Bionicle Dragon Posted July 14, 2008 As someone who is going to get braces, these posts do not make me feel better. Maybe somehow your warnings about merciless pain will soothe Turakii instead. Maybe. Quote Link to comment
Cleofan119 Posted July 15, 2008 You're doomed until you can start eating bread without screaming bloody painful murder. Quote Link to comment
NecroticUnicorn Posted July 16, 2008 No worries, you are only semi-doomed. Nah, you'll be fine. The best advice I can give is to follow the directions from you orthodontist, especially concerning what to eat. And be sure to brush and floss well. Just a few warnings, never eat a whole apple or raw carrots right after you have your braces adjusted, namely with your front teeth. The pain of the times I tried to do so are still burned into my mind. For the first few days after getting an adjustment, I recommend soft foods: steamed veggies, soup, etc. Beware of cold foods like ice cream though, your teeth might be sensitive to the cold for a few days. I suppose the most important thing is not to be nervous, you'll get used to them, and they'll be out before you know it. Don't forget pictures! -Ax- Quote Link to comment
Jonah Falcon Posted July 16, 2008 Well,it's been nice knowing you,Turakii. -TOA DAVE- Quote Link to comment
Sif Posted July 17, 2008 Yes, you are doooomed....For a week. and the day after you get them tightened take some Advil before you go. Quote Link to comment
CyclonatorZ Posted July 20, 2008 Nah, they aren't much of a problem. True, they are annoying, but you get used to them quickly. And hey, I survived them - and I'm a wuss. ~~END~~ Quote Link to comment
~Po~ Posted July 21, 2008 To edit some of the earlier posts; You're toast until you can start eating bread without screaming bloody murder. Get it? Yeah, I know, I'll just sink into my cardboard box hoping no one payed attention to the worthless play on words there. Oh, and I really wouldn't know about braces; although, I have heard that they are both painful and cause these strange dentist bills to appear in your mailbox charging exorbitant fees. What fun. =P Quote Link to comment
Bitter Cold Posted August 20, 2008 It's like every other person on this site has braces... I don't but I might have to get them at some point. My sis had them. She hated them. But don't worry 'bout it, 'cause that's what she did and it made it harder. Quote Link to comment
Master Inika Posted January 10, 2009 Get braces isn't too bad. Getting the glue off isn't enjoyable, and neither is tightening. Quote Link to comment
