Don't get the clear ones. I had them, they suck, they stain so easily:mad: I got my brackets changed frequently cuz I couldn't stand it.

I've had mine off for 2 years this fall:blah:

I only had them on for 2 years. But it feels so damn weird when u get them off haha

I remember when I got mine taken off back it 1995. About a week or so later I caught a knee to the mouth taking a shot in a wrestling tournament. It nearly knocked my front bottom teeth out. Now i have perfectly straight top teeth and 3 out of wack bottom teeth. They arent real bad but not as straight as they should be. I wasted 3 years wearing those Biatches. Oh well.

Haha, that's what my mom is always so worried about me, cuz she knows I play fight/wrestle alot, and I'm rough whenever I do anything else, she's always scared I'll get wacked in the mouth and screw up my teeth after she spent so much on em:eek2:

i had braces too....soon after i got them off i got my tongue pierced and i had that done for like 3 years and i went to the mx track one day and wrecked and bit the tongue ring and chipped 6 of my teeth, so there went 4 grand down the drain for braces

I wouldn't waste any money on braces, I'd rather have a nice long travel front and rear end, then PERFECTLY straight teeth. You couldn't tell the difference between mine and ones that had braces unless you are looking from a few inches away.

coulda got lots and lots of parts for 4g's and that prolly would pay for decent swinger, a-arms, and shocks...and to think ppl like me have 4g's in their mouth and it hurts!!! supension stuff wouldnt hurt just be softer!!!
