Had mine for about 6 years going on 7. bottom first then top after 1 year. got em after highschool. i am 25 now. about 2500$, monthly was only 70 bucks. all paid off but they had to do massive work. plus wisdom teeth recently came in and were impacted so that slowed ish down. i'm expected to get em off this year. very excited
It's totally worth it in my opinion. all the pain, appointments, and those days when you can't eat anything but soup. at the end of the day. you'll have a nice smile with some pearly whites. and who doesn't like that. they took my braces off as a test last week and boy, my teeth were something. lookin like i was born in Hollywood. was tempted to run out that bish and never look back.
The orthodontist will give you a pamphlet of what not to eat. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. i didn't do this when i first started and it slowed ish down even more. not to mention trying to get food out. Srs though, eat what it recommends. No wings, doritos, liquorice, hi chew (guily pleasure), anything that's hard or chewy. but pizza and pretty much anything else is simply personal preference.
Get lifted. i know that smoking causes some ish, especially when using wraps but if you use other instruments, it'll help you forget about your braces. and ease the pain after an appointment. but that's when you gotta say no to doritos and cheetohs etc. just grab a twinkie or some creampies, whatever. Get lifted.
As for yambs? easy. always have been. i'm not shy about my braces. in fact, some girls actually like it because they know you're gonna have a nice Hollywood smile when they off. I still eat. more than i should actually. but only if there isn't a bush, of course. never had an encounter that stopped me midway. just make sure you don't do it after an appointment.
I'm familiar with what they do in order to get your teeth perfect so if you guys have questions feel free. hope this helps.
p.s. my older brother is going on 11 years... 11 years. tf
