Braces and nicknames for braces-wearers . . .

Laurelyn · 01-23-2002, 10:27 PM

I just got braces today (ugh!!!!) and I hate them . . . anyway, to all my fellow sufferers and creative folk, I thought I'd post this asking for favorite braces stories, and nicknames for the poor people wearing braces, because I like collecting those things. So far I have:
Metal mouth
Tinsel Teeth
Fender face
Any other funny ones? No offense to anyone who hates these . . .I like them . . . and I want to do something to amke the next two years of my life with painful bits of metal glued onto my tetth at least humorous . . .

I wore braces for 3 years and hated it, every time I fought with my brothers, I ended up getting hit in the mouth and there would be blood everywhere and my mom would freak out, and then the canker sores would form

painful memory's, I never got teased though, mostly because everyone knew if they said something about them, I would make sure they end up needing braces too...

I had braces for two years, and I just got them off. It's not all that bad, but it's much better to NOT have them. I also never got teased. Here's some more.

Yeah well, whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger I guess, I got a pretty calloused mouth, and I know how to fight a person with braces, oh and streight teeth up until I stopped wearing my retaner (a week after they gave it to me) now my teeth are just about back to how they where, oh well
