It worked because I felt cool at that age to have them :) I have a permanent retainer on the inside of my lower teeth that was kind of he 'trademark' pf my orthodontist. I could have it taken off at this point but it doesn't bother me so I just keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422224 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:39:03 +0000 mediagirl 422224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I had a retainer that had a key my Mom had to use in it to tighten it each night, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422213 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:37:43 +0000 Mrs Checkers 422213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422175 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:28:38 +0000 alayaya 422175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My top teeth are lovely and straight but my bottom teeth are crowded in one spot.</p> <p>When I was about 15 my dentist said that I might need braces. My incisors were way up high and weren't coming down. Thankfully he just pulled the teeth behind and they came down on their own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422126 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:14:25 +0000 autumnlove 422126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One set in jr high and Invisalign when I was 28! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422091 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:05:16 +0000 Sweet T 422091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them for 3 years but didn't wear my retainers like I should have and my bottom teeth have shifted a little. It's not too bad but I still want to get Invisalign to fix them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422084 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:03:14 +0000 Arden 422084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was blessed with perfectly straight teeth. I have terrible vision though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422079 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 422079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My bottom teeth aren't straight anymore though. My wisdom teeth messed them up again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422068 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:59:48 +0000 anonysquire 422068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I was the only one of my siblings that didn't get them. My teeth are not perfect by any means but I love them. </p> [attach=1857/12/me9m7o.600x450.554621_10151860175875273_205544748_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422047 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:56:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 422047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had braces in middle school, didn't wear my retainers properly, and had to get Invisalign in my early twenties. My parents paid for the braces, but if you lost your retainer you had to pay for the replacement, which was fair. I had to pay for the Invisalign and that sucks, but I was lucky that my insurance covered $2000 of it even in adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-422015 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:49:35 +0000 doxielove 422015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had braces 2 times. The first time, I was in 3rd grade and was honestly probably too young for them (didn't have the vigilance to wear that retainer!) I got them again when I was 18 and wore them for 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-421970 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:40:13 +0000 MediaNaranja 421970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them in 7th grade. My teeth were pretty straight naturally, but I had one that grew in way crooked. As soon as that was fixed, I was done with braces. I was pretty good about wearing my retainers, but after my dog ate it for the 3rd time my parents were done paying for them, ha. My teeth have remained straight, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-421955 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:35:38 +0000 Bao 421955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them when I was 19, I had such bad teeth when I was little but apparently my parents didn't want to help me fix them ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-421946 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:34:09 +0000 Alivoo01 421946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: 11 extra teeth?! I should borrow from you because I had 8 extracted for braces! ha!</p> <p>I got braces in 5th grade and got them off in 8th grade? I haven't worn my retainer in ages so my teeth have shifted and some gaps have formed, but my teeth are still straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-braces#post-421943 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:33:15 +0000 chopsuey 421943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got braces.
