Here is another contributor, Laura from Denmark, providing a interesting account of her braces experience:

Have You ever had braces?  Yes

BEST AND WORST: What is the best thing about wearing braces? What is the worst thing about wearing braces? 

The best thing about wearing Braces is, that you can see your teeth getting straight. The worst thing is eating with them or smiling an not knowing, wether there might be still food in them.

FIRST REACTIONS: What first reactions to first seeing someone in braces have you experienced? (You could be the one in braces, the one who reacted, or a bystander.) 

"Foureyes has got a metalmouth" said one of the Boys in my Class, when I had my Braces new. (I was wearing Glasses)

MOST INTENSE TREATMENT: What is the most intense braces treatment you have seen? (Intensity could involve amount of metal, use of unique appliances, length of treatment, etc.) 

Don't know. The Most intense about Braces is, when they are new and you are not yet used to them.

COOL BRACES EXPERIENCE: Have you had any cool, funny, interesting, or memorable experience involving your braces? What was it? 

When I was at the Summer Camp in sixth grade, I was in love with a Boy (wich was of course a secret. But when we talked, he confessed, that he is getting Braces too and asked me a lot about how it is to wear them. When we met again he had already his Braces on and he was so cute with them. I wanted to kiss him imidiately. And we did not get stuck with them (as in bad movies).

ADVICE FOR OTHER BRACES WEARERS: What advice would you give to someone just getting braces, or thinking about getting braces? 

Never try to hide them, because sooner or later, people will anyway realise, that you have them on.
