Adult Males and Females wearing Braces



What are the most annoying or positive comments you got from Males / Females / Children / Teenagers regarding your look with Braces ?

I have been wearing braces for 3 years and people stare at me with

"my heavy metal smile" ?

Thanks for your comments

Wearing Archwired Retainers. Your thoughts.

Will require 2 bulky archwired retainers. Already conscious of my metal braces and fear I will not cope with them. Heard you get a mouthful and I am quite fearful ? What do you think ?

As I my upper and lower look strongly metallic with elastic chain, when I smile I really feel handicapped with my metal mouth. In the train people look at my braces when I open my mouth. I get used to my braces but I am very self conscious the way I look. Since I have a double looped archwire, I fee...

Do you braces make your teeth move fast ?

Now that I have been wearing braces for 14 months I feel that my teeth would fall off if my heavy metal braces were removed. I can nearly feel each single tooth moving. Incredible feeling. What a shame my braces are so heavy and bulky. METAL huge METAL Mouth ! How do you feel ?
Thanks

Metal Retainers - How does it feel ?

Will wear those retainers shortly. I have been told they are very bulky and impede your speech. Do you have a mouthful right at the beginning ?
Girls/Ladies/Boys how does it feel ?

Smiling with Heavy Metal Braces

Always feel frustrated smiling with my heavy metal braces.
they feel bulky and ugly I have been told. Very heavy indeed in my mouth. Feel like having 2 rows of teeth. Any reactions on your side ?
Thanks

Retainers - Lower and Upper

How does it feel to wear Upper and Lower Retainers. Is it heavier to wear than Braces ? Does it impede your speech ? Does it enhance your smile ?
What is your favourite design ?

Thanks
