So, we are done now with the eyeglasses. So, let's go down now to the braces.

Upon going to the mall today, this question quickly absorb in my mind and think that this would be a good discussion here on mylot.

I have my braces on when I was in high school and it was really horrible. Like many of my classmates would teased me that my parents are very strict because they are guarding not just me but also my teeth as well. I would just tend to laugh at their jokes and say, "it's cool though".

I wear my braces the whole high school and I'm so glad that I am over it already.


So, what do you think about those people who have their braces on their teeth?? What's your experience with braces?? Share yours...

Well, I actually wore them too when I was a teenager lol. I think it's good to wear them to make your teeth look better and neat. It's a little uncomfortable, to be honest, but then again, beauty is a pain lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Yeah, it's so uncomfortable but then if you see the finish product then you can say to yourself...It's all worth it...

And yeah, I do believe in what you said, "beauty is a pain".... lol

I wore braces on my teeth for a period of time, too. There are two reasons to put braces on a child's teeth to straighten them. Yes, straight teeth look better but it's also healthier for them to be straight and evenly separated. Your teeth need to be brushed and flossed in between, with regular cleanings by the dentist, if you want to keep them for a lifetime.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

I want to keep it for a lifetime. It's really great to have beautiful teeth, right?? Because I do believe that you really look beautiful if you have a nice smile...Hopefully, it's for a lifetime now.. happyhappy

Hello friend,

I think it's normal...it is being used by people who wants to have a nice set of teeth..a corrective.
I never had experience wearing one....i am proud and lucky to have a good set of teeth... wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Wow, you are really lucky that you have a very good set of it. Everybody who doesn't have that tend to wish that they have wonderful teeth. For me, it's really expensive to have a braces.... sad


myLot reputation of 99/100. jaiho2009 (1471)   ranked 5,110 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

yah,one thing really is..braces were too expensive,but it is worth.

I remember how my grandfather keep telling to brush my teeth,and i am thankful about it.I owe my good teeth to him(hehhe)But not now cry,after giving birth,one tooth is extracted...so,i had 3 kids...and i also had 3 teeth missing..(molar ones) wahhhh.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

My dad always scold me every time I won't brush my teeth when I was younger. So, I thank also my dad about that. Hopefully, my teeth won't be extracted, I don't want that to happen... drool

Some people wear braces to make their teeth look straight when they are older. When I was at secondary school many people had to wear braces. It was just something they had to do and it didn't bother me. I did have to wear reading glasses and so I didn't like being teased for wearing them. I wear contact lenses these days. I was grateful that I didn't have to wear braces and I was understanding to those that did that did have to wear them. In life everything has a reason and kindness counts. I respect other people's differences. It would be boring if we all looked the same.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Yeah, it would be too boring if everybody has the same looks. Maybe we will not know which is which, right??

Wearing braces is usually seen in high school students. happy

--blushshamesblush--


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Hi Shames...nice to hear from you.

Yeah, I think when I go to mall, many ideas would just stick up in my mind...I don't really understand why...maybe I tend to be more productive when I tend to release my stress... lollol...

You are lucky you have a nice teeth and you don't have to wear them...

I never had to wear braces but I know some people who wore them. I do not see why others would make fun of the kids that have to wear braces. They are trying to straighten they teeth and have good teeth when they become an adults there is nothing wrong with having to wear braces on your teeth.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

I do believe that there's nothing wrong with that. But why are those people keep on teasing those with braces. I really had a bad experience before..and thank GOD I'm over it already...

I don't find braces unusual. They're just another accessory. My brother is wearing them now and I don't really see any problem other than the occasions where he feels pain and the insides of his mouth gets sores from it.

People can be really mean sometimes. I can't say from experience because I didnt have to wear them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

You are one of those lucky ones who doesn't need to wear braces. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with wearing it and we need to sacrifice a lot to have those set of teeth...a nice one...

The irony of it is that I have always considered persons with braces as cute .This is in contrast with most people at the stime who think that barces was for loosers or nerds and I have now seen where people are actually wearing braces for fashion .In fact I believe that what the rappers are nwo wearing as "grills" are an evolved form of braces but then what do I know lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Ow, another opinion which is really a positive one. I'm glad that you find those people who wear braces cute..Well, a lot of people doesn't think that way.

And yeah, I notice that it's became a fashion statement for artist nowadays... happy

I too was stuck with braces in high school. Not only did I have to wear braces, I had to have my jaw broken and moved forward in the summer between my sophmore and junior year. Talk about a pain. No solid food, no talking (try taking Spanish class and not being able to talk!) for 3 months. Ruined summer and ruined fall, I would have rather just wore braces. I feel for anyone that I see with braces. I remember the sticking of the wires.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

Ow so sad to hear your story. It's more worst than I think because you can't ea solid foods..and can't speak for 3 months?? What happen actually??


tricounty (5)  2 months ago

I lost 18 pounds, but gained it back as soon as I could eat again. It did not really hurt, just made life difficul communicating. I was very glad to get the wires off.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (2025)   ranked 814 out of 35,448 in people  2 months ago

I'm glad that all your hardwork are all worth it. It's nice having a nice smile, right?? It will really boost up your self confidence... lolthumbup


tricounty (5)  2 months ago

I agree. Plus, I do not have to worry about my jaws locking up.
