it's not that bad unless your head is completely fucked. wear your retainers or it'll last longer

I got mine Fall of 6th grade, so probably 13. Got them off this year (I'm a 10th grader now). I had them for four years, but they were TOTALLY worth it. I had mine especially long, you'll probably have them shorter. Kids your age have a "braces blindness" where they really aren't that big of a deal visually since most kids have them. Just, as everybody said, WEAR YOUR RETAINERS

Had them from 13-15 I think. The orthodontist even had to move and make room for a 4th front tooth (I was born with 3). Just had to get two buttons put back on last month while they make room for the implant too, but I got them off today (19 now). Soon Ill have a full set of teeth for the first time in my life, plus pain meds. YAY SURGERY!

Oh and listen to everyone on here. WEAR YOUR GODDAMN RETAINER

13-14 I think, they kind of sucked but I only had them for just over a year. got a wire on my bottom teeth after, but I hated it so they took it out. I probably should wear retainers, but its been so long now that it doesn't really matter. Don't even have them at school, but i might wear them occasionally (one night a week ish) this summer just to make sure they fit

I had them in grade school, so probably around your age.

Never wore my retainer because I could not sleep with it in.

My teeth moved, and the one is not right.

Now I am an adult, and will be going back to get it fixed somehow. Not sure what way I want to go about getting it fixed.

My wife paid for Invisalign as it was a much nicer option for an adult an it was almost the same price. It is very expensive for that or braces, so if your parents pay for it as a kid be extremely thankful that you won't have to worry about it or pay for it later.

I believe I had mine about a year and a half. Summer after junior year of high school into like the first month of college.

My dentist told me i didn't need them when i was really young, so I never got them. Then it was suggested I get them. And I'm really glad I did. I had a lower tooth that was further back than the rest, and didn't care when I was younger. But I'm sure I'd care now.

I got mine late seventh grade and had them removed pretty much exactly two years later in freshman year. So 13-15. Everybody had them so they weren't a big deal, and it's amazing when they come off.
