About MaxwellsSilverHammer
I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.
I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.
As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.
And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

P.S.: Storageanddisposal is actually 12, and Fern sucks.

I am 17 years old and have had braces for the past 3 years. My teeth are no where near being fixed even though my ortho says that he'll have them off in 4 months (by Grad) but I doubt he will because they were supposed to be on for only 2 years. I had two teeth pulled out and the gap for the large part is gone but now my teeth are spread a little farther apart (you can't notice). I was also supposed to get my overbite fixed and that has only improved by 20% over the past few years.
So I need a little bit of advice on this:
1. Do guys care if a girl has braces? Please be honest on this. I want to know if this is a factor to support me taking my braces off.
2. So he hasn't been able to fix the gap in 3 years, will he able to do it in four months? What's the point in keeping them on for now if they won't be fixed by May anyway. My ortho doesn't act like it's a big deal, "Oh we'll have it done by Grad" but he doesn't understand that I spent the majority of my high school career in BRACES and that's not how I wanted to be remembered/remember myself.
3. So should I get them taken off?
I can't answer your first question, but to your second, I will tell you that people don't remember you by your braces. They become very unnoticeable and people don't really care about them.
To your third, I wouldn't suggest that. If you want to, you can tell your dentist, "do whatever you can by May, and then that's it, no more." Or whatever month you want them off by. But if you've had them for a few years, a few months won't make a difference, and if you want them off before graduation you might as well wait as close to it as you can to have them taken off.

(Rating: 3)But these few months -will- make a difference. I want them off ASAP, I don't want to wear them for all of my last year in high school. So what's the point in keeping them on if they're not going to be fixed by Grad anyway?
