Do you wear braces? or retainers? What's the color? Does it look cute? How does it feel? And what do you feel when smiling and what do people comment on it? This year I'll be having my braces. Is it cool? Or you feel like ugly betty?:) Or if you don't have braces,would you want to have? How will it look like?

Yes I like braclets, but not very heavy once , very light and graceful. I like silver and golden colour as well as some light colours. I don't like oxidised ornament.......they don't attract me at all. I like braclets which have something written on them....some good wish etc. but right now I don't have any , I have golden bangles which I had put during my wedding and they are all always there. Acutally I am very much found of glass bangles too.....When I was in India, I always wore glass bangles matching to my dress or sari. In India it is really fun to dressup.......there is no end to demands of jewelleries from girls.......lol

Yes, I wear braces. I am wearing now braces with blue elastics. I think it looks good on me. When you start wearing them, your teeth will aches a lot! But they will feel better after four days, something like this... And when you start wearing them, they will hurt your mouth but it will be good after two weeks. I feel good when I smile because I know my teeth are more beautiful now that before they were. And everybody says my smile is awesome. And so it is... Bye and good luck with your braces!

Well, I do have braces. The elastics are transparent, so you don't really see much of a color that much. Except those metal things that's stuck to your teeth, that's what you see. And I got new wires. The "SS" wires, or so it's called. The SS wires are the thick wires, which keeps your teeth really straight and also come in really painful. When you get new elastics, the first week is really painful. You can't hardly eat anything. But when I smile, It gives me confidence knowing that I have them :P

when i was in gradeschool, most of my classmates wore braces and it somehow looked good on them, then i forced my mom to take me to my dentist and tell her that i want to have braces.. then the dentist told me that i have good set of teeth, so i dont need one. i was very disappointed then and later did i realize that i was lucky, my mom took care of my teeth, i dont have to experience braces.

Hello autumndreamer, I used to wear braces when I was still studying in collage. After it was taken off I had to wear a retainer for a year. Its just the silver colored one. I believed so that I liked cute with it. :-) I feel confident when smiling and people don't mind, usually they would ask then, "does it hurt?", that's all. Goodluck and take care!

Hi. I was always fascinated with braces when I was younger lol. One day I found some thin soft bendable wire in my dads shed, grabbed it and went inside to the bathroom, I started to thread this wire through the little gaps between my teeth and did I think I was neat, I probably made these little gaps bigger then they really were lol, anyway I got them all tangled up and my mom caught me and ended up having o cut them out, she gave me a good whack for this and told me that I didnt need them and I could've damaged my teeth and gums, I hated braces after that... LOL

If dentist tells us to wear braces then we have to. Why bother whether we would look better of not. It is a must. That's all. Cosmetic reasons are not be considered.
