    I had braces... they sucked ass. Then I had to wear retainers... wait, I'm still supposed to wear them. Yeah, I never wear them. They hurt like Hell now if I try to put them in because my teeth slightly moved. Bah, I don't really care though. My teeth are good enough for the girl I go with... or, they would be if I went with a girl... Ok, I'll stop now.

    That's exactly what I did. However, after I got them "good" again, I stopped wearing them again and now they've moved again. :p

    I had braces for awhile - I forgot for how long exactly, but I wore them when I was in high school. I had them removed just before I went to college.

    After going a year without wearing your retainer your lucky you could still fit it in your mouth.

    I had braces for 3 years. I hated my retainer so I stopped wearing it. It did not help that it fell out of my mouth at night while I was sleeping. I wish I had worn it. My teeth moved a little bit.

    i had braces when i was 11-14. my teeth were FUCKED. when you see them now you wouldn't really know i wore braces because they're not perfect, but i never wore my retainer. it's a huge improvement from what they used to look like though *shudders*

    I had a retainer when I was 11... it was one of those metal kinds with the clasp thing on your teeth. Anywho, the dentist pissed me off because we had an appointment and for some reason he had his license taken away and it stayed and one day I chewed a bunch of gum and took it out myself.... hurt like hell.
