I know right? I got mine off about a month ago, and it feels and looks wonderful.

I've never quite recovered from my deprivation of popcorn (Never mind all the sweet stuff) but my shiny smile is a pretty good refund.

I ate all that stuff...except for apples...I didn't care to cut an apple into pieces so I just gave those up 'cause it hurt too much to eat and always got caught everywhere in my braces..other than that I never deprived myself of anything...and my teeth still turned out good.

...not that I'm recommending anyone else do that... >_>

I have a special kind of brace. See, mine is not just a wire of steel, mine has pistons and hinches.

I couldn`t eat anything the first week i had them. Youghurt is getting tiring. Though, i realized that i began to lose weight, and hence, i was actually kinda saddened when i found out how to eat with the brace on.

I`m really not good at will-power.

I chewed gum on the way back from the orthodontist. When I got back to school, the principal made me spit it out, despite me explaining my three years of gum fasting. Never liked her very much.

I ate Snickers. I ate Milky Ways. I ate Tootsie Rools, Skittles (ESPECIALLY Skittles), Peanut M&Ms, popcorn (though, during that time I learned to dislike popcorn ), and all that stuff.

But, yes. SO worth it.

I could've done without losing a chunk of my gums that one time though...

Dang, that sucks.

Youghurt?

I had braces twice before they gave up on my teeth. My lower teeth always went back to their previous positions as soon as the retainers were gone. -.-

My thoughts (and on the gums note, current position ><) exactly!

Also I just got my braces off yesterday. B)

The only two things on that list that I can eat are Tootsie Rolls and Skittles.

I never ate Tootsie Rolls while I had braces, but I ate Skittles because I am a rebellious teenager.

I eat whatever I like, it just takes skill.

I've also met a number of girls who find braces particularly attractive, but I still can't wait to have them taken off.

They're just so annoying, they make your mouth all awkward and I cut up my tongue on a regs from trying to get food out of them.

My teeth weren't even that bad, they're coming off soon though

Even though I'm 20 and my mouth has stopped growing, I'm apparently going to need braces soon to prep for jaw surgery.

I am not excited to give up chewy candies!

I ought to get braces.

I should pester my dad some more.

Just want to add, wear your retainer.

I'm serious. Your teeth get out of line fast after just a week of not wearing it.

Please, quit torturing me! I've still got two whole years to go with these stupid things!

At least my wisdom teeth are already removed...

I've never needed braces. I have perfect, slightly yellowish teeth. I am a horrible person.

:uh:

I've also never had a cavity.

You think it's bad? Try having 'em twice. And get them both on right before Halloween. It sucks. Bad.

Ha. I laugh at you all, I was blessed with perfect teeth and I eat candy all day long! Mwahahahahaha.
