i had my braces in the dark ages of the early nineties........mine were manually rewired once a month



rather wish i had worn my retainers like i was supposed to......hated it more than the braces.......could never make the lisp go away.......and it gagged me all the time

I'd get that checked out.

My teeth were too close together - they definitely wiggled but no popping or anything


^ oh it's from getting hit by the car. He said it could last a really long time.

same here
hated that shit

12/16/2009 12:01:35 AM

oh i had six months of head gear hell before i even got the braces



and then six months of rubber bands just before they were removed

12/16/2009 12:03:48 AM

fucking rubber bands... i wouldn't wear them as often as i was supposed to, then right before my appointment, i would double up

that shit hurt

12/16/2009 12:05:04 AM

^^^^well in that case I hope it goes away.


Also I'm so happy I have straight teeth and never needed braces.

had the rubber bands too

12/16/2009 12:05:21 AM

Damn I wish COD4 would run on this computer

12/16/2009 12:05:38 AM

ummm sooooo

is editing and adding to a paper i already wrote for a previous course and then turning it in for a current course cheating???

its MY paper.

its just that the topic still kinda fit (with modification and some additional research) for this course.

Instead of a rubber band holding the archwire to the brackets, the brackets have a channel for the archwire, and a door of sorts to hold it in the channel.

Google In-Ovation C. That's the type of bracket I have.

I'm so very, very grateful I didn't have to have headgear

It's rather amusing how much commiserating and empathy and interest and personal anecdotes I've seen/received/heard since I got my braces.

^depends on the professor.

gunzz, theo, etc: I love having these as an adult. You tend to be more compliant when you're the one paying for them. Or maybe it's less the "adult" part, and more the "I've wanted these for 15 years" part

Ha, i just laughed at the mental image of you in middle school, head gear, rubbin one out

12/16/2009 12:06:25 AM

fuck no that's not cheating, you're being resourceful

12/16/2009 12:06:48 AM

my rubber bands were looped around 4 pegs to form a square

god it sucked



i was able to cheat for a while with my retainer..........would wear it a few days before my apt and it would move my teeth back into place


i bet i cant even get that mother fucker on right now

PS: thanks, jen.

Until gunzz rectifies my mental image of him, it's what you described...and starring as gunzz is a very, very, very geeky, pathetic kid.

ok. and if worst comes to worst hopefully since its for different profs they won't notice. it just seems sketchy but i mean...its my work bitches!

and i also had head gear and rubber bands

but i had head gear WITH braces. so i was fantastically cool. this probably explains why my popularity level plummeted after the third grade (when i got my first braces)

i also wore glasses during this time

I have heard awful, horrible, terrible things about those

But I have a big mouth (literally ), and tiny teeth...and most of my molars never even came in. Not something I would have ever had to worry about.

12/16/2009 12:12:33 AM

i toy with the idea of getting them again


i could probably go with invisalign.........but i know that if it starts hurting really bad, i will wuss out and remove them


i remember how much they hurt and then i think........my teeth really arent THAT bad

12/16/2009 12:18:09 AM

good night peoples

12/16/2009 12:34:50 AM

12/16/2009 12:59:19 AM

Hello, Economic Development class. I see you have a pretty elaborate set of notes. Largely, these seem useless. May I recommend a simpler approach to development? I will:

1) Move out of the desert.
2) Move out of the swamp.
3) Did I mention moving out of the goddamn desert?

That is all.
