I Used to Have Braces
The first time I had them it was only on my upper teeth, I think it was when I was nine or ten years old, to straighten them of course, but there was more behind it, I can't remember that far back in much detail though. The second time was when I was 18 to 19 I think, it was on both top and bottom and it was after six teeth were removed because my lower jaw is farther back than it normally is with people. (Four wisdom teeth and two other teeth, one was int he top row and one was in the bottom row. Or was it two in the bottom row? That sounds more reasonable.) I still have a retainer to wear at night and a permanent retainer on the inside of my bottom teeth. (Not sure what it's called exactly, but it's there to retain the teeth in their positions.)
