Hello lemmies,
Yesterday was a bit of a shocking moment for me as my dentists told me I need to get braces to fix the alignment of some of my teeth. For context; as a young kid (11years)I broke my four front teeth, and had them replaced with fake ones (i believe they are known as veneers in English). They are now slowly falling off, as I have had them for a while (I am now 24). But before they can put on new ones, they want me to straighten out the positioning of the current ones, with braces.
Obviously this is the right choice, but I’ve always hated the thought of getting braces, especially this year as I will soon be starting work life and meeting new people.
Was therefore wondering what experiences people have with braces, especially if you had it as an adult / young adult. Anything I should know for upfront?
If you’re concerned about other folks - Most people don’t give a slightest flying F.
You may (and probably will) find some man-childs having a giggle about it, but also some people that will understand that’s for your good and nice straight teeth
But in some small percentage are weirdos that find it cool and attractive (like me lol)
But if you’re concerned about your daily life with braces - I don’t know, I had the removable ones and those were so uncomfortable and disgusting. Having a piece of plastic on my palate sometimes triggered a gag reflex. So yeah if only I knew I would choose the standard ones
