Troutfisher Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Never get braces. Just got back from the orthodontist and the dentist in one day. The dentist wasn't bad, but the orthodontist.... The pain.... Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Grin and bear it (get it? lol) It'll be worth it. Especially with a mug like yours, you're gonna need all the help you can get! (sorry, I owed you a few, lol) Quote
Deuceu72 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hahahahaha.................No sympathy here...........I have had oral surgery, 10 root canals, a 6 unit bridge and 5 crowns................I actually had braces to seperate my teeth as the ones I knocked out moved in their place so I had braces to seperate them again..............Braces are a walk in the park my friend. ;D ;D ;D I will admit though, I have a dentist, an orthodontist, an endodontist(Root Canal Specialist) and a periodontist, and it sucks going to ALL of them!

Troutfisher Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 I'm not getting any sympathy here.... ;D Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 You have no idea how many times I've barley convinced my mom that i dont need braces. here is my latest excuse: getting braces involves pulling teeth (for me) pulling teeth means less teeth less teeth makes chewing more work more work chewing means more calories burned more calories burned means more food intake more food intake means more money spent on food (and also means more chewing, wich means more calories burnt, wich means more food intake, wich means more chewing.... and so on) more money spent on food means food price highers (it might not seem it, but it does) higher food prices mean less food for poor people less food for poor people means even less food for already starving people less food for already starving people means starvation, sickness, and death There for, getting braces can result in death for others from starvation, and NOT getting braces means global prosperity! What i'm trying to say in a nice way is, troutfisher, YOU ARE A MURDERER!!!!!!! Quote

Super User Alpster Posted February 6, 2007 Super User Posted February 6, 2007 TF, I have the price of a new Triton Bass Boat in my daughter's mouths. LOL This too shall pass, however after seeing what my youngest went through, I at least have a little compassion for your pain. Hang in there, it's down hill from here. Ronnie Quote
Super User flechero Posted February 6, 2007 Super User Posted February 6, 2007 Well, after reading Alpster's post... I say buy the boat and just don't smile with teeth. Quote
RiskKid. Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 25 years from now you'll say....."man my teeth look good....BUT I'll never forget that so and so orthotorturer".....It won't be that bad all the time but it ain't any fun...just gotta man up! Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I'm not getting any sympathy here.... ;D Nope, you are fortunate to have the means to fix your teeth. We have kids in this country that have never even been to a dentist. Bucket- less teeth does not mean more chewing, it means proper alignment which can save lots of time, pain and money later in life. Do it now, while you are young and before it affects your jaw.

Troutfisher Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 LBH, you're right, I guess I should be happy to have a good smile. Hey TF - Show us your grill Well, since you said so, ;D Quote
Water Dog Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Take care of those teeth, boys, and they will take care of you! Ever try to gum and apple? ;D Without good teeth, you will have to close your split shot with pliers, can't cut line or crack hickory nuts, you would be in terrible shape! ;D Quote
Troutfisher Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 Heh Heh, you've got a good point. Quote
Super User flechero Posted February 7, 2007 Super User Posted February 7, 2007 The Weber Kettle... a true American classic!!!! Quote
timmyswetarded Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 the first two weeks are terrible, but get past that and the occasional tune up and its no biggie. had mine on for 1 1/2 years. there coming off on MARCH 8th!!!! ;D Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I went through the same pain in high school. Every month or so you go back and get new bands and tightening. Ohhh the pain I lived through for 2 years. It sucked big time. With that said it was well worth the 2 year sacrifice. Now my teeth are all aligned, white (because of maitenance)and in great shape. Like said above take care of them now and latter you will be better off. Side note. Just remember I dont mean this to be ignorant, but if someone teases you about them they havent had braces and probably have poor teeth. Atleast around here thats the way it was. I dont see anyone who has ever had them be teased by someone who went through the same thing. You are one of the lucky people to bea ble to get them and reap the benifits. BTW the ladies like nice teeth. Quote
Troutfisher Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 I've had the braces for about a year and 1/2; it's not that bad now. The only time it hurt was when the orthotorturers pound the wire onto the brackets...ouch! (such as on monday) Quote
Guest avid Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Definitly take care of your teeth. I had a girlfriend once who had complete removable bridges, upper and lower She would only take them out when she was drunk. I bought that girl alot of whiskey. (sigh) I'll never forget my "little gumby" Quote
logger Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Yeah you'll be sore for a few days, but you'll live. I had braces for a year and a half, it gets better. You'll be happy when its over and you have a nice smile. Quote
Troutfisher Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 Avid....heh heh heh ;D Yeah, I think they said I get them off in October. I think it will be worth it (what with the pain and everything). There is also a pain I forgot to tell you about. $4000! Quote
