I had the retainer with the key in it but that was it. I was lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692800 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:54:54 +0000 MrsSCB 692800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @Mrs. Monkey: My SIL stopped wearing hers and her teeth went totally back to where they started. I feel like I'm going to wear mine for the rest of my life because I scared! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692760 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:42:45 +0000 Sammyfab 692760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. For 3 years. I got them off the week before I started high school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692744 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:36:44 +0000 mrs. bird 692744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never needed them when i was younger (blessed with great teeth!) but once i was in my 20s, my lower front teeth have shifted. it bothers me, but when i talked to the dentist about it he said that the bone there is very thin and that i could get braces to fix them temporarily, but that they wouldn't stay =/ my top teeth are perfect though and you really never see the bottom one that's crooked so it is what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692741 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:36:31 +0000 prettylizy 692741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my teeth were perfectly straight but at 17 I still had 1 baby tooth becauase my 'big' tooth was stuck. They put braces on to open the space for that tooth to come down, then once it was down closed everything back up again. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692736 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:34:58 +0000 Dapple Grey 692736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a dental freak of nature and all my teeth grew in straight, but i also loved ripping my loose teeth out as a little girl so maybe that helped? My parents, and older brother had braces though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692733 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:33:37 +0000 Pepper 692733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had them. My parents couldn't really afford them. I would love to get invisalign or the braces that go behind your teeth. I plan on looking into it once LO is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692731 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:32:37 +0000 Alivoo01 692731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!

DH really needed them so I think our kids will.</p> <p>I had them from 11-13. My two bottom front teeth have slightly started to shift and it's bothering me. Maybe I'll get Invisalign.</p> <p>DH has Invisalign and it's only slightly helped even though he is almost done with it. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692729 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:30:46 +0000 petunia354 692729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't but have a very slight gap in my front teeth, mostly only noticeable to me and don't really want to get them now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692719 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:25:36 +0000 JessiBee 692719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, about a year and a half, around 9th grade, after some time with a retainer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692714 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:23:55 +0000 Apex 692714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wearing the clear ceramic braces right now, and i'm officially in my 30's too.....</p> <p>Not fun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692713 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:23:51 +0000 KT326 692713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need them. My bottom teeth are crooked and my jaw does not line up properly. But I would have to have jaw surgery to correct my under bite once my teeth are straightened. Not sure I want to do that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692706 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:18:40 +0000 Mrs. Monkey 692706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I had braces but never wore my retainer. Now my teeth are crooked again but not as bad as before. My parents are not impressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692702 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:17:56 +0000 loveisstrange 692702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, for 2 years from 7th to 9th grade. Considering I had them and DH really needed them (but never got them) I assume our kids will need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692700 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:17:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 692700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: so smart to keep up with te retainers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692699 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:17:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 692699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them from 6-8th grade, didn't wear my retainers, and did invisalign when I was 26 or so. Sucked paying for it myself the second time but it was worth it- I hated parts of my smile before. It's pretty much a given our kids will needs them, considering my and dh's teeth naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692695 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:16:10 +0000 MrsSCB 692695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I had them for almost four years and I still wear my retainers because I'm paranoid about them getting crooked again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692690 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:14:31 +0000 sunny 692690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I did 2 rounds too! I did a super short treatment in my early 20s to fix a tooth that had moved out of place. I think I was much more appreciative this time around :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692682 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:11:11 +0000 Dandelion 692682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, for about 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692679 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:10:48 +0000 autumnlove 692679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 rounds....junior high and when I was 28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692678 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:10:39 +0000 Beebug 692678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For 4 years! I was born with oodles of extra teeth so when I lost my baby teeth I had to have surgery, then buttons had to be put on all actual teeth to drag them down, and once down far enough braces to line them up where they should be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692675 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:08:58 +0000 Caly 692675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, for about 9 months in early high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692674 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:08:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 692674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had braces as an adult, but it wasn't to straighten my teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692673 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:08:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 692673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, from 5th to 8th grade.

For 2 years I think. I was a sophomore when I got them. I wore headgear at night too. :( it's funny because when I was little I wanted braces so badly but they sucked once I got them. Totally worth it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692668 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:06:29 +0000 swedishfish 692668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I had braces from 6th grade to 9th grade. I appreciate that my parents did that for me because I had a gap between my top two front teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692666 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:05:48 +0000 MrsStar 692666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but I need them, I hate my teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-have-braces-to-straighten-your-teeth-1#post-692660 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:02:35 +0000 sunny 692660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing them when I was 10! I was looking around the dinner table and realized how lucky I was to have them since nobody else has and I have super straight teeth! </p>
