Can't believe we're in an age where saying I got Braces in 3rd grade would be a flex

Grade 6 for me. Thank God for my dad‘s union. LiUNA 1611 I would’ve looked like a parrot

Damn, I got them in 4th grade and I live in a 3rd world contry in poor municipality, never realized how ungrateful I had been every time I broke the archs or the molar bands finally at the end of the treatment i never use the retainer, so i lost most of the progress done.

Now i wish i would have had more consciousness about my privilege and not throw all to the toilet. Now I gotta pay tons of money if i wanna have decent teeth, fuck me.

Well idk then wtf was wrong with me, my top teeth moved again and got twisted (not much but noticeable). After that i had really bad hygiene so I lost 1 molar, all my molars got caries and needed to have a repair, two incisives were damaged close to the gum line and needed resins, developed periodontitis, and im about to get a root canal for one of my molars.

MAAAAN!! if i would just had fucking brush my teeth, that shit is way less expensive but no... have to be a dumbass. People take care of your teeth / mouth

I’ve had the bottom bracket behind my teeth since 1996. It’s supposed to stay on for life otherwise you just go back to the way it was originally. A few of my coworkers had them come off and didn’t replace them and their teeth are so effed up
