Me? Just licking my teeth, nothing to see here.

[–]CAPS_LOCK_USERNAME 4 points5 points ago

"My teeth tickle."

[–]lizzyk 16 points17 points ago

Good god... what causes a person to have to wear braces for 7 years??? I bet you were a naughty patient, eating taffy, etc. Am I right?

[–]Dbjs100 9 points10 points ago

I had mine for 3, and my case was bad. How the fuck...

[–]GrandmasterKirbs 1 point2 points ago

Braces for six years here. You get very used to it and learn to cope, after a while you eat anything g because you stop caring.

OP: congrats! Enjoy liberation and retainers!

[–]Sarock19 16 points17 points ago

I had mine for 7 years. Only because my parents didn't have enough money to pay for an orthodontist. Had to go to a university and pretty much be a lab rat. So.Much.Fun.

[–]figmonster 13 points14 points ago

I had mine ok for five years. When I got them off, my teeth felt as smooth as unicorns dreams and my gums freaked me the fuck out.

[–]Dbjs100 5 points6 points ago

Got mine off last week and thank god that is normal whew

[–]Daniels15 7 points8 points ago

It's only been 3 years of braces for me, but I'm getting them off on Monday.... What does it feel like?

[–]jalapenohandjob 19 points20 points ago

Fucking wear your god damned retainers.

[–]Dbjs100 9 points10 points ago

I just got mine off last week after three years. It's incredible. Line up some dates.

[–]studmuffffffin 8 points9 points ago

Slimy.

[–]A_glorious_dawn 5 points6 points ago

Like your teeth have been replaced by hard-boiled eggs.

[–]Pollo_Bueno 3 points4 points ago

Wear your fucking retainer.

EDIT: I mean that in the nicest way possible

[–]glaciator 2 points3 points ago

I have a permanent retainer on my bottom front 4 teeth and had one for the top, but I rarely wore it after a few months. No issues.

[–]Aceeyee 2 points3 points ago

amazing

[–]jettrscga 4 points5 points ago

Guaranteed you'll be licking your teeth and going "smooooooth" for at least half a day.

[–]VengeSim1 2 points3 points ago

AWESOME.

[–]Swimrat24 2 points3 points ago

Congrats on getting those off! Enjoy some popcorn and corn on the cob! I remember getting mine off a week before school pictures, best picture I ever took! Keep wearing that retainer they give you for the rest of your life! I stopped wearing mine a few years ago and I have noticed so much my teeth moving :( P.S. Permanent retainers don't work...my teeth still moved inside the retainer.

[–]Aprilfoolsa 1 point2 points ago

Wow, 7 years. And I thought 2 and a bit was long enough.

[–]frud 1 point2 points ago

Orthodontists have such a racket. They can be worse than garages. It's in their financial interest to stretch out your pain and suffering for as long as possible.

[–]Polyeidos 0 points1 point ago

Predatory?

[–]successful_brown_man 0 points1 point ago

First frames teeth still crooked :(

[–]ebonyfaye 0 points1 point ago

[–]thebobdole 0 points1 point ago

i want to meet these sharks, they seem so happy

[–]Steellonewolf77 0 points1 point ago

YEAH!! I had them on for 6 1/2 years, I felt the same way

[–]DonkeyBallSlap 0 points1 point ago

I sure hope your teeth are straighter than the first pic

[–]cantthinkofaname 0 points1 point ago

Lolol, getting them off soon, will be about 11 months, but i will have to wear retainers :/

[–]nosferatu_zodd 0 points1 point ago

7 years? dear lord that's like 1/10th of your life son.

[–]sirius89 0 points1 point ago

It's the best feeling ever.People that never had braces simply can't relate.

[–]ohpeeum 0 points1 point ago

I never thought it was worth the years of braces to straighten my teeth. Mildly crooked teeth for life!

[–]yoursoulwasdelicious 0 points1 point ago

Measly year and a half, getting them off in 3 weeks. I wanna feel like a shark too D:

[–]Loisbeat 0 points1 point ago

Has science gone too far?!

[–]NavyBlueLilacs 0 points1 point ago

Yick, 7 years! Congratulations on getting them off!

[–]Dontwantyourlemons 0 points1 point ago

I can tell by the pixels...

[–]zomgz0mbie 0 points1 point ago

Oh hey! That's how the San Jose Sharks look right now!

[–]dylantrevor 0 points1 point ago

I had mine for only a year and a half. Haha.

[–]Had_To_Switch 0 points1 point ago

Cherish the feeling of your teeth for the first week.. it will NEVER be the same again no matter how many times you brush.

[–]geach_the_geek 0 points1 point ago

[–]MiamiArch1 0 points1 point ago

[–]kanyeezy24 0 points1 point ago

WEAR YOUR RETAINER! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

[–]SmartAssUsername 0 points1 point ago

7 years!?

Fuck it, I'm not getting bracers anymore.

[–]lastfatality09 0 points1 point ago

I've had mine for about 2 years now, had to remove 4 teeth (the ones behind that you don't need, dont remember the name though) and 2 more teeth so everything could go into place.

Thank god it's pretty much finished, although i will miss having vampire teeth xD

[–]TheDiruo 0 points1 point ago

Christ, seven years? I'm nearly hitting three years and I'm just about ready to rip them out myself.

[–]Abbacoverband 0 points1 point ago

I had mine from 2nd grade until I was 21 years old (with a four month span of off-ness) due to a cleft lip & palate and ever changing bone structure. Getting those suckers off after ANY length of time is the greatest feeling. You get your face back, you get your teeth back, and you feel like a grown up. Congratulations, saintjimmyndr. I'm so so happy for you. Eat lots of corn on the cob, bite whole fruit, and chew gum like a motherfucker. :)
