I had braces from 6th - 9th grade. They were supposed to correct an overjet, never did. I also broke over 100 braces in those 3 years, luckily the orthodontist didn’t charge us since most do. Afterwards, my retainer which was supposed to keep my front teeth straight was bent outwards from my teeth pushing against it. I was just a bad candidate for braces and i hated those 3 years.
