It was painful at times. Especially after monthly adjustments. But I did get comfortable with them after some time. And I ate everything that was supposed to be forbidden lol. My current retainer (I lost my first one :-/) is Invisalign. And I'm still looking to get some cosmetic work done some day since I'm still <br>self-conscious about my smile.Jasmin Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03850774805457350097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-53910336353411499172013-05-25T23:11:07.010-04:002013-05-25T23:11:07.010-04:00I had metal braces as a teen- am so happy I did as...I had metal braces as a teen- am so happy I did as the time went by fast- and I've had years of straight teeth.<br><br>You need the wax for your poor mouth!

Once I'm done with the needed work I have been contemplating getting braces. I had them as a teen and didn't wear my retainer so that was a huge waste of money. I am definitely going to look into invisalign as an option.Mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400363857070551929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-57711873942372793882013-05-24T10:28:55.606-04:002013-05-24T10:28:55.606-04:00You will have an amazing smile!

One of my top front teeth is on a slight gangsta lean and I have 2 bottom teeth that grew in crooked due to crowding. I have 3 wisdom teeth. Only 1 on the bottom grew in and it's pretty much hiding under my gums. I should handle that huh? Only I'm terrified of the dentist :-/.Sheena @ Sophistishehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09148332224241816077noreply@blogger.com
