I had them (this is before I joined beach), I hated them....so I did everything to get them off.
In other words, you won't be able to eat hard & sticky foods.
 
I've had braces for a year now, and they're really not that bad, they just hurt for a week or two. The only real problem is that playing brass instruments is soo much harder.
 
I might be getting some this year. My teeth aren't bad. I begged my mom so I couldn't get them but my dentist said "it's not an option" -.-
 
I had it last June and it wasn't that bad.The only bad thing about having braces is that all the food you eat would be stuck in your braces (Ewww).

PS-What's the color of the band thing on your braces?Mine was blue then green:D
 
I had them a few years ago and they hurt REALLY bad for me. The worst part was when you finally get them off, but the dentist makes you get a retainer so your teeth don't move again. Only it takes a couple weeks to actually get it and by then your teeth moved and wearing the retainer the first night HURTS.

well i play alto saxophone.....in marching band....in which you move.....alot.....owwww (but i learn to just use my lips which might/will out-tune my instrument so i push in alot to "balance" it i guess you could say)

PS: i am aloud to chew gum but the sugar free ones (orbit, stride, etc.)
 
I had bracers when I was younger, the end result is nice lol. I didn't mind them, first getting them on sucks, and everytime you go for a checkup if they tighten them or change the wires it sucks. But when you get them off, its the best feeling ever. Hard to explain it I guess but its great! :p
 
The first two weeks hurt. Then when you get them tightened they hurt for the first two days. Yeah I couldn't really eat anything :/.

(Still have them on)
 
The braces arent that bad, its the spacers, and if you are so unfortunate, the pallet expander. I had a pallet expander and it is torture. Its a metal thing that goes on the roof of your mouth and pushes your back teeth apart, or something. It gives you a lisp and a gap, food gets stuck in it, and if you happen to get sick (like me) that food gets stuck in it again >.<
but now my teeth are Beautiful! lol

I had a pallet expander also... you have to tighten it with this stick every couple of days :( then I got a retainer, then braces. There not that bad once you get used to them, but they HURT when you get them on. (Except for not being able to chew gum caramel, starburst, popcorn... ect ect) wearing my braces currently!

yeah I hate having to crank that. I just hated the whole thing lol. And I ate all of that stuff anyway, but I did avoid apples, unless they were cut
 
I only had mine on for 8 months :D it will hurt for the first week man [I don't get the big deal on chewing gum or eating popcorn, I did both, and mine never broke]

Try 4 teeth. :p
4? Psh. I had 9 in two visits.

My braces don't bother me at all. (Besides the first week, of course) What I hate, though, Is this thingamajig in the back of my mouth that is supposed to fix my gigantic overbite. It's really uncomfortable, and I can't chew with my back teeth. No steak for me. D=

Epic shade of green ftw.
 
Ugh. I just found out that I'm getting rubber bands for my braces Tuesday :/ I doubt those are too bad but I'll probably sound rediculous. -__-
 
Personally, I loved my braces, they were so fun and full of memories! I miss them :(

This is my 252nd post! I have started the Hoenn Dex on my posts!

Oh yeah, rubberbands. They are too bad. They get thicker though, and that is when they start to suck. Don't worry about sounding funny, they dont mess up your speech if i remember right
