Finally, after having my braces for over 2 years...I'm brace-less! Ever since I got them off(last week), I can't help but smile all the time and at everyone. Don't get me wrong, I smiled when I didn't have braces yet and when I had braces and they weren't too bad but it feels so nice and free without them. So because of this I decided to do pros and cons on having/getting braces and here they are!
Pros: The end result; having straight teeth and a beautiful smile. Missing classes for the appointments(except Futures Forum of course).
Cons: They are expensive. You can't eat certain foods. Have to have them for quite a long time. Food gets stuck in them easily. Have to get it tightened every month(hurts for a couple days). The brackets may cut your gums. Takes long to clean/floss every night. After getting them off, you have to wear a retainer.
Even though there are way more cons than pros, I still think it's totally worth it to get braces if they are needed! Having a nice smile for the rest of your life beats having braces for a max of 3 years!
