I never got braces. Teeth aren't perfect, but they're okay.

God yes. My teeth were NOT good. I had them from 6th to 8th grade, didn't wear my retainers, and had to do Invisalign in my mid-20s. The Invisalign in my 20's was cosmetic but I felt so much more comfortable after I did it. The braces when I was young was necessary-- my bite was really jacked up and would have caused issues down the road I think.

Yep! I had some pretty jacked up teeth. I wore a retainer for a couple of years in junior high and braces for my freshman year of high school. They've gone a little crooked again because I stopped wearing my retainer. I might do invisiline in the future.

Wow, I didn't realize so many people had invisalign too. I had braces a couple times when I was a kid, then I had invisalign at 33 for my wedding.

Yes, and headgear that I had to wear for 22 hours a day in grade 8. Mortifying.

I had braces in the beginning of high school, and had to wear head gear at night for like a year. I got retainers, but I never wore them, and my teeth are starting to move now.....Although I probably won't do invisiline or anything. It really doesn't bother me at all.

Yes when I was 19 for about a year and a half. They weren't as bad as I always imagined.

Yes as an adult. I have permanent retainers on my to and bottom teeth.

I was blessed with naturally pretty straight teeth. However, I did have one tooth that grew in really strangely, so I had to get braces to get him into place. Once there, I didn't need them anymore. It was ~8 months, 6th and 7th grade.

Yup when I was in 5th grade because one my top front teeth was turned 90 degrees. My braces gave my TMJ problems though (locked jaw) that later on required surgery. Boo!
My teeth are shifting so I wish I would have continued wearing my retainers.

Yep. My top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth aren't anymore. It's ok though.
