Replying to Braces..........

So i found out i have to get braces.all i want to know is do they suck as much as people say?are they a big hastle and hard to take care of?All i know is they cost a shit load of money just to make your teeth a little better.i mean why the fuck does it cost so much to put some wires it your mouth.I think its just a big gimic and even if you have a tiny thing wrong with your teeth the orthadontist scams you into thinking that you need them.Im just pissed off that i need them.
