Today, I went to see my orthodontist. He informed me that I have an underbite and I will probably need braces again. I just had them taken off last year, after five and a half years of oral hell. FML

Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML

Today, I got my braces checked by another orthodontist since I've had them for years and my teeth never got the way they should be. After 8 years and 27 x-ray exams, my orthodontist didn't do much except loosen the root of the tooth to the point where I can move it. FML

Brace yourself

Today, my orthodontist thought it would be a good idea to put braces on the teeth in the very back. One bracket popped off twice, after which he shoved a metal band in my mouth onto one of my teeth, cutting my gums, and causing gushing blood. Now, I can’t eat anything unless it’s baby food and I have a lisp. FML

Today, they finally took my braces off. 7 hours later I fell off my bike and chipped my tooth. FML

US healthcare is ****** up

Today, I went to the dentist two years after having a front tooth knocked out because I could finally (barely) afford the $4000 bill for an implant. They checked me out and told me that my teeth have shifted to the point that I’ll need braces before receiving an implant, for another $4k bill. I’m sick of looking like a hick. FML

Today, I got my braces put on. This is the second time I've had them. The first time was after my cousin opened a car door in my face. This time a jock punched me in the mouth for saying that Reese's taste the same as Snickers peanut butter. FML

Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML

Today, I went to my orthodontist where I was informed that I'll going to the prom, to my brother's wedding, and maybe to university with braces in my mouth. FML

Today, I discovered that just because I got my braces removed does not mean my painful mouth ulcers will stop. I now have them under my tongue. I can't even lick my lips. FML

I had a sister who had that same problem, except she decided to get surgery instead. 5 years later it's like she never had an under bite. Maybe, if you want to, you can do the same thing and get surgery over braces

I'm not surprised. Dentists are some sadistic bastards.

I've had my braces on for 5 years and have no chance of getting them off anytime soon.

Five and a half years? I had braces for two and a half years and I thought *that* was a long time, but holy crap! I just got mine off yesterday, and if someone told me that I'd need them again, I'd probably throw a fit!

5 years sounds brutal, im sorry. I had invisalign for 18 months to correct spacing but still have a underbite that requires surgery, braces are not an option. Invisalign was $5k, the surgery will be another $7k +...they have to break my jaw the whole nine. Think long and hard before you do it. Before I got the spacing done i didnt really notice the underbite...once the orthodontists tell you how jacked up your teeth are you become fixated.
