Holy gently caress, I have braces on right now and now I'm loving scared as poo poo about getting them off (in a year supposedly). Also, how bad were you guys's teeth? I had a pretty big overbite and some related dental misconfiguring due to me sucking my thumb while my teeth were growing in, but they orthodontist I go to (very well-known in the area) has said that I would only need about 2 years with braces. Isn't there any way for them to break the cement bond before they rip the braces off your teeth? :(

Yup, I cringed when I saw those pictures. I don't usually swear but gently caress that was horrible. I don't know if I could even withstand one tooth breaking like that. I have 3 or 4 cavities in my mouth right now that I am scared as hell to get fixed. Just for the reason that I would have to get my gums frozen with a needle...I hate needles with an ever hating passion. Although, you've given me the strength to endure this pain and the sight of a needle. I will get my cavities filled thanks to your courage!

quote:SteveYoungblood came out of the closet to say: Actually, it was only hell for the first year. Another side story: After the two teeth on both sides of my two front teeth broke off at the gums - thus rendering me buck-toothed - I pulled a Gatsby. I spent around two weeks sitting in front of a mirror, watching myself talk. I taught myself to speak without showing my crackwhore-display of a mouth. I refused to have people stare at my mouth while I was talking, so I decided to make it a non-issue. One of the last things I wanted in my classes was a Pavlov sympathy reaction... or some quick jump to reasoning that stated, "No brush teeth -> No teeth -> Lacks ability to preform simple body cleaning."... so, like I said, I avoided all stigmas by training myself to never talk while showing teeth... then I unlearned smiling with teeth showing. I could now speak, laugh, and smile without seeing a single tooth... and no one would notice unless I pointed it out to them. I recall getting my school ID picture taken one year when I had the buck-teeth: I sit down on the stool. Photographer of questionable sexual orientation gropes arms/chest/shoulders, only to place me in the same position that I started in. *walks to camera. focus. ready* "Smile!" I put on my generic smile. No teeth. Just a smile. "Come on, now! SMILE! Let me see those pearls of yours!" I shake my head, still smiling. The lobby is filled with classmates... around 200+ at that point in time. "*stereotypical gay huffy pouting* I'm not takin' this picture till' you show me what's behind those lips." You know what? gently caress this. gently caress the school... the whole ID system... don't gently caress the photographer... gently caress everything in this situation, photographer excluded. I shrug, and give a nice... giant... open mouthed smile, exposing my missing, shattered, and broken teeth. (through my "teeth"): "Zare. Howsh Zat?" Photographer lifts his head up from the viewfinder and looks at me. Onlookers have joined in the fun. I stand up, give another opened-mouth smile - as forced as I can - and walk off. I opt'ed to have the photo taken on an alternate date, done by someone who's main perogitive didn't conflict between "Take pictures of boy." and "Stick penis in boy's anus.".

Again, I suggest Koss's "The Plug" if you're willing to try earbuds.) The conversation between your mouth and brain will translate into something like: To: Brain From: Mouth -Uh... I think there's something going on here. Sharp pointy thing is poking me. Ouch. Motherfucker! I repeat, sharp pointy thing is causing pain. -Routed through Laughing Gas- To: I think! From: I talk! -Uh... do you remember that episode of Six Feet Under where Claire first takes Gabe back.. drat. Motherfucker! The hot redheads always forgive the assholes with bald heads. You know, I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if bottled water came in anatomy containers? Buy a 24 oz. bottle of Dasani water in a penis container. That'd loving rule. I also am thinking that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were gay.. can't you hear it now.. 'Raph: Hey Leo! Wouldn't it be gnarly if we had some gay turtle sex, and then had some awesome pizza!?'... and Splinter would be like, jerking off to all this. I betcha Splinter has a huuuuuge dong. I mean, poo poo.. he's a giant loving rat that talks and poo poo. That mutation must have endowed him with this massive John Holmes dong-of-doom. He's an urban legend, no doubt - in New York. Frigid women, young and old, toss old pizza into the street-drain inlets, in hopes that the magical sexual master, Splinter, will appear - rocketing them to a mind-blowing tantric orgasm with his giant rat dick.... rat dick... heh... that'd be a really good name for an 80's hair band.. "Rat Dick"... I can see it now.. "Playing TONIGHT: Whitesnake. Opening act: Rat Dick!"... oh yea, by the way, there was this poke feeling a few seconds ago. It sorta annoyed me, but it's gone now. Say, did you hear about...(etcetcetcetc)

gently caress. Man, that's harsh, I hope your dental problems get sorted eventually. (also, I want to see a picture of you standing next to another human being, preferably your girlfriend, in a manner that will allow me to boggle at the size of someone a foot taller than me)

Gawd. THis scares me poo poo less. I seem to have receding gums.. and maybe one small cavity, and an older silver filling that could use freshening up. But I have no dental insurance, and I can't afford good dental work. (It's car repairs or teeth repairs, sadly..) But uh. I can see part of teh white of my roots on my teeth on my lower two front teeth. It's like a piece of my gun wasted away. WHAT THE gently caress can I do about this? It pisses me off that my gums magically recede, when i was always the poster boy for twice a day brushing, flossing, and using fluorinated mouthwash. Although I'm sure a pack a day of Camels for the last decade might have something to do with this. He;lp

Jeeeeezus! I can't imagine that torture. I thought I had it bad when the repeated batteries of novacain administered to me kept wearing off every 5 minutes when I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I too am wondering why the girl kept pulling your braces after the first one. Couldn't they have left the pads on but pulled the wire out while they were figuring out just what the gently caress they needed to do?! I hate frivolous lawsuits, but man this is anything but. If some chatty bitch can get millions for spilling coffee on her crotch then you deserve at LEAST 10M. I'm 21 and I have horrible loving teeth. The bottom row is mangled thanks to not getting my wisdom teeth out until 6 months ago. The top row is a little cramped and one of the front two teeth sticks out a little. All my teeth are horribly yellow even though I brush daily and have never smoked (ever) and never drank coffee with any semblance of regularity. I too have learned to talk without exposing teeth, so effectively that when I mentioned that I was thinking about braces to a friend of 3 years he asked why. He was quite suprised when I gave a big toothy grin. ----------------

quote:starvey came out of the closet to say: Indeed, give up smoking, or your gums will recede and your teeth will fall out. I guess some people are more sensitive that others, as it is with most things, you seem to be quite sensitive as you take care of your teeth in all the right ways, but there is certainly a gum/bone problem at the front. You can get gum grafts on that, and its not too bad. They cut some hard gum off the roof of your mouth, and stitch it where its needed. It is hard gum, which is different from the softer pink stuff near your teeth, but as its not going right next to your teeth its fine. You want hard gum there and the slight difference in color is not an issue as it will never be noticed that low down. Your gums are not really receding top down as is the case with most people, it just seems to be at the bottom strangely. It would be odd if that was actually your teeth showing through, as that would indicate a lot of bone loss, I ain't an expert on this by any means, just someone who obsesses about the state of their teeth. They can do pretty tasty things with Guided Tissue Regeneration and Guided Bone Regeneration now. They are more expensive that simple gum grafts, and dont have as high a success rate, but are pretty much guarenteed to have a slight improvement and not make things worse at any rate. Also, there seem to be a lot of people saying that they have cavities that they cant be arsed / ca'nt afford to get fixed. This is bonkers. I got a filling recently, a big bastard on a molar tooth and it cost me £50. If you don't get it done the decay spreads like wildfire in the soft dentene (its already got through the hard enamel), You will be talking more like £500+ for a root canal if you don't get them seen to quickly.

I get involunatry shakes just contemplating the thought. What does the surgery entail? If it involves me having to get my mouth wired shut in any way, I'd rather just shoot myself, that's my god drat mortal fear, and I know it's irrational.. but gently caress. It's my horrible fear. I probably should quit the smoking pretty god drat soon. I'm a fiend for dental care, and it seems like these cigarettes, while nevr me much lung trouble, have finally smacked me somewhere. Oddly enough, it doesn't hurt at all. No pain, no ultra sensitivity to cold or water, or anything. That doesn't mean I won't do anything about it, but at least I've been blessed with that.

That's the most horrible thing I've read in a long loving time. I'm giving this thread a '5' though, because it was very well-written. I think I probably would have killed myself had I gone through all that. RESPECT++ Hopefully you'll get what you deserve, eventually. Oh, and by the way, your caps look great.

I printed this out, complete with the great illustrations and the big ole' "FURRY PORN" ad at the top, just to be complete about the thing, for my parents to read. My mother was horrified. This really happened in America? Sick. Inexcusable. Worthy of a painful death.

The durration of that song should be ample time to get the Prozac-esque satisfaction that only beating the bloody gently caress out of someone can produce. Heh.
