How often did you break those little rubber bands they use to align your bottom and top jaws.  These things are driving me crazy cause they break in my mouth almost every day.  

Oh Well

I had braces from the 6th grade until I think my sophomore or junior year of high school.  I wore rubber bands for the last 2 or 3 of those years.
The rubber bands snapped in my mouth every once in a while, but not too often.  It wasn't very fun though...

I even had the head gear…  That was an unholy amount of pain.

I had braces recently

I hated the rubber bands, actually I hated most everything about the braces.

As far as the bands, I found that if I changed them several times a day, they didn't snap in my mouth as often.

I am so glad I'm done!

How much longer do you have?

Oh god...well I already covered that with him.  I told him my contract says that if I go over 30 months of treatment than I have to pay more.  I've already paid my portion a long time ago.  I told him I'm not paying more money so he better get it done by 30 months.
