He's not complaining too much. He's a little sore, but he's handling it well. I don't think he minds wearing them all that much, but he's 9. He thought it was cool that he got to pick different colors for the rubber bands. Lol :)

That's the thing I love about the braces.Picking colours:)I like to experiment with colours,so I choose silly ones sometimes.Right now mine's light purple,but last time it was red,which made my friends call me vampire,since my teeth looked almost like it had blood on them.

Lol XD He went with 4 different colors so his mouth looks a bit like a rainbow right now.

[[deleted user]]

The rubber bands are the best part! I've had braces on for a year now, and picking the colors always makes me happy :) my first colors were bright pink and yellow. My mouth was just BEAUTIFUL lol XD

[Mishma]

Wow,that's cute.Once I did that,and it didn't work out.It freaked out my friends,and I was stuck with 'rainbow teeth' for a month.
They must have told me that nicknames are a side effect of having braces.Though part of me loves those nicknames:)

[Jalyn]

@Sarah I think I probably would have picked pink if I ever would have had braces :)

@Mishma there are a lot of kids in my son's class that have braces so I wonder if they do nicknames or if it's so common that they don't really pay attention to the braces. Are there a lot of people your age with braces?

How about you Sarah? Are there a lot of kids your age with braces? I'm wondering if different places recommend braces for different ages.

[Mishma]

Not many wear braces here,Jalyn.And they actually recommended me to wear them when I turned 13,because of the growing of cheekbones or something like that.And the nicknames aren't mean or anything.They just like to make a joke from my braces.

[Tati]

Here in Brazil braces are usually done in teens, after all of the permanent teeth have come in. But that does not prevent kids using headgears or those splints, retainers and the like (don't know the proper name in English, sorry)

[Jalyn]

Oh ok. I know the my son might have to do a second stage of braces when he's a little bit older (also around 13), but his orthodontist is hoping that we can avoid a second step by expanding his mouth now as well as the braces. His problem is that his mouth is really small and there just isn't any room for his adult teeth. They took some xrays and one of his adult canine teeth is completely sideways in his gums because it has no room.

[Tati]

Oh dear, that sounds complicated. I had the opposite problem, one of my teeth simply didn't exist, which left space for the other teeth to wander around

My son will need the headgear also, but thankfully they are giving him 2 months to get used to the braces and retainer before they do the headgear. He only has to wear it when he's sleeping though, which is great. When he is done with his braces he will have to wear a retainer to bed for the rest of his life.

[Mishma]

Oh,I just had huge front teeth.

Are his braces temporary or permanent?

[Tati]

As for retainers, in Brazil they do something interesting, which apparently is not done in the USA. For the lower teeth, they glue a wire in the back of the teeth, so they can't move around. So we only have to wear retainers for the upper teeth, and those are quite discreet.

He will only wear them for 18 months if that's what you mean

Huh. I've never heard of that. Cool. That would be much nicer to deal with, I'm sure.

[Jalyn]

So...my entire town has flooded. It's crazy! I have never been so happy to live up on a hill!

[[deleted user]]

Flooding is not fun! I hate whenever we get floods!

About the braces, maybe 1/8 kids ages 11-13 (around my age of 12) wear them. Not that many, but not so few that it's rare

[Flore]

I have braces! :(

Could everyone please click on these links ?

No,what I asked was whether it's the kind of braces which you can remove and wear it again whenever you want.Mine is not like that.It's permanent.

Oh. Nope, the don't come off until the orthodontist takes them off. I think his braces are cemented on.

Aaaannnnndddd now it's hailing here.

[[deleted user]]

It's just pouring where I am!

[Greta]

Humid and sticky here :(

[Kate]

Ew. Same here. It's probably not as bad over here (or maybe it's worse), but I totally feel what you're dealing with.

[Kate]

Almost done setting up my first giveaway on my blog. :)

[Tati]

On my side of the pond, it's windy and rainy. Apparently, the English call it summer, but for me, born and raised in the tropics, this is more like autumn/winter

Haha, That's British weather for you. :)

[Tati]

it's not that I hate it, but to heard it called summer hurts a bit LOL

Hah, i wouldn't call it summer, We don't get it enough days to call it that!
We had it for a whole week last year. LOL.

The tiniest bit of sun we get, people strip off and walk around in hardly anything.

Just realized my hair is down to my hips now...guess I have to get it cut...

[Jalyn]

I just got back from watching World War Z. It was really good!

[Mishma]

[Jalyn]

I'm getting really frustrated with what's available at my digital libraries. They never have the books that I'm looking for and it's really frustrating, especially since the closest bookstore is 1 1/2 hours away (well, there is a place around here that sells discount books, but they don't always have books that I'm interested in) and to buy these books for my kindle, I have to spend $7-$10 which I'm not willing to do for an electronic book. Grr :/

[Novel]

Wow, there are so many challenges this month! I hope you guys will enjoy all of em! I think I'm the only mod who will do a non-reading challenge, hmmmm. I'll post the sign up sheet later. =D

[Kate]

Really? I'm looking forward to it!

I'm pretty excited myself! LOL, I slept late night making my own version of 4pic1word. =p

[Kate]

Is that what your challenge is going to be similar to? Hmm . . . I like it. :)

[Tati]

Gaaaah...

Just waiting for midnight so I can get started on my challenge books. But what to do until then??

[Jonababez]

I just got home from watching World War Z, ugh, it was scary and there were so many times I jumped off my seat! :)
