I went to see the dentist about a month ago...

 

I asked my mom to as him if I needed braces (because I thought that I look really good in braces and I really wanted cool shiny stuff on my teeth!) Then I got scared... that it would hurt, having wires being pushed into your gums and mouth and I hear it hurts BADLY the first night you get them, and the dentist says that he found 'bacteria' in the bottom of my teeth (honestly I think I am doing fine for someone who is not a perfectionist and expert in the dental area, I've never had any cavities or anything!) and he said that if you forgett to brush enough or well enough with your braces on, when you get them off you'll have loads of cavities! I do NOT want that! And I'm not the person to remember things... like brushing every night or usually I just do a quick ZIP ZIP across my teeth and that's it... I still have fine teeth,

but I'm getting scared about

 

1) Hurting

2) cavities when they get off

 

And my friend who has braces says that these colors are not good for braces:

 

- Red= blood

- yellow= food in your teeth

- green= food in your teeth as well [/b]

When I was younger I always wanted braces because I thought they looked cool.

Now I want them because I need them!

My two front teeth are slanted outwards, and they overlap each other (Making it hard for me to eat harder fruits.) But not only that, but when I brush my teeth, the bristles get stuck in the minuscule hole at teh top between my two teeth, and scratch and make it bleed while I brush my teeth. It's extremely painful, and looks gross when at a friends house. Eww!

I have a terrible overbite, also. Blech. Thats the one thing about my physical appearance that I hate, my teeth.

 
You're probably going to think I'm super crazy, but after reading all of this, I REALLY REALLY want braces. I'm asking my mom when she's taking me to the dentist next so I can ask about braces.

 
Im getting braces in Febuary.Im not getting the clear kind.If I have to wear braces,might as well wear em in style.The sad thing is that I have a bubble gum habbit.

 
clear braces..

hm,

I always though they were weird, because if the wire isn't clear but the brackets are.. it would look like floating wires on your teeth.

and it might, like, make your teeth color look different.

but I wouldn't know xP

my sister was black braces, and I forget sometimes.

she also has a lipring, though, so that can be distrating. :]
