I wear braces. They aren't as painful as many seem to think... aside from when they tighten it every so often. I've had many disturbing experiences with dentists and at the orthodontist though since I was little. I once bit a dentists finger when she tried to take an x ray of my teeth. Another thing that occurred was one of the tools malfunctioning resulting in liquid pouring out and dripping all over me. The lady just kept saying sorry and using it anyways. My hair was soaked when I walked out and she jokingly retorted "my! I gave you a shower!". I think she enjoyed it. And just recently... I was stuck with this lady who worked at a quick pace and basically poked my lips numerous times with the wire (they use plyers to adjust the wire and cut the ends sticking out). And that foul breath of hers was nauseating.
I've never been adequate when it comes to taking care of my teeth. I don't smile too often so this is hardly noticed by others.
