Braces

[alexh0618]

I got my braces taken off this past summer. At first, it felt like my gums were HUGE but you will get used to it after a couple days. The retainer is something you will have to get used to also. The first few days you have it in, it will be kinda hard to talk. I was told that you should only take it out when you brush yur teeth but I take mine out when I eat too. It just bugs me while i'm eating for some reason.

I seriously think the people who are around these days are going to stay for years to come. We are pretty close to CD, and after it this board is going to be a so much more positive place, not that it isn't right now, but even more so.

You dont worry about people being so overjoyed about Chinese Democracy finally coming out, they'll find alternate activities than visting here on a daily basis?

I mean, dont get me wrong, I love coming here and everyone here, but once CD comes out, I doubt Ill even be here that much...Before I even registered, I visted here pretty much daily to see the news updates..if there were any... and for some reason, I can myself doing that again.

I think the Jungle and Bad Obsession will still be frequented by me, but let's face it, when CD is released, the Gn'R section is gunna be absolutely insane. 100 posters on one thread, random threads all asking the same damn question, and arguments even more repetitive than the speculative ones that already are in that section..It would just be to much to keep up with..

Here's hoping we find out sooner than later..

[AxlsMainMan]

Is that how it'll be when I'm gone, nobody giving a damn? 

Awwwww, dont worry James...

To the tune of the Poison song....

"I wont forget youuuuuuuuuuu baaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbyyyyy..I wont forget youuuuuuuu giiiirl"

You are totally right though, I dont really wanna make friends with a couple hundred newbies either once the album drops, it's gunna feel like a bunch of people are invading our territory eh? Almost like those mygnr kids. I dont care there here, I just hate reading threads that are littered in reference to that shit hole of a site.

I kinda miss Eva's posts...she always put so much thought and effort into each and every single one, always making sure they brought out the absolute best in Axl...she seriously struck me as the female dave-gnr2k

Ill probably post in the "Your Chinese Democracy Review" thread like you, but it'll be 100 pages by the next second, and my post will be overlooked by all...

Hey James, perhaps after CD, we should start our own Gn'R forum..."Redemption & Salvation for the HTGTH Elite"

No newbies allowed! Strictly veterans from the classic times here..

Yeah, I miss Eva too. I was gonna ask about her in that thread where it said she was having some sort of problem and couldn't post anymore, but I couldn't find it.
 Surely Jarmo has something up his sleeve to deal with the imminent changes to the forum once CD is released. I think I will send him some recommendations.

Dear Jarmo:

On your teeth i mean. Mine come off tomorrow  It's been a damn long couple of years.


Anyone else have or had any?

I had mine taken off on my 16th bday.

My teeth sure felt weird after two years of braces. It is a nice feeling though.

My daughter has them now.........

Perhaps a pre-releasers board is in order come the time - admission set on registration time - if that is possible

Yeah it is hard to talk with the retainer in. The one I have is clear plastic, similar to Invisiline.  I have to take it out when I eat. Actually I just wear it at night, because I eat all through the day. lol

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Kevorkian, that's just about the best idea I ever heard.

[Queen of Everything]

Isn't there one person here thats only 13?

nevermiss24 is i think.

Now, Who saw that coming?



I had braces for about a year and a half.? From about 13 to 14...? I hated them at the time, but I got used to them and now I am soooo glad that I got them!!!!  Oh ps.... Make sure you wear your retainer or your teeth will go out of place!!

[Jim]

Jim, you're a teenager too? I thought that was you in your avatar. Next thing we'll find out is Jarmo's gallery pics aren't really him, and he's really a 5 year old kid running the show.

Hells yeah man.

At least, I am for another nine months or so...

As for leaving when Chinese Democracy comes out, ha! I'm sure that there are quite a few people here that don't even go in the GNR section much anymore, save for when a bit of news surfaces...

The disscusions, so far, have all been done to death, so I find myself comming here for the other four active sections, as far as I'm concerned. I'll be here 'till I die!

(or get bored)

A what section?

I thought this was a wrestling board.....

[Evolution]

^ We need our own section 



I got them off today. My teeth felt so weird so a few hours but they have settled down now. I get the retainer in two weeks or so.

Wear the retainer or face wearing braces again as an adult (but next time it's on your dime).

I have seen it happen a few times so far........

[Evolution]

Good call. I can't be bothered having them on again.

Anyone get their teeth took out, specially the canines (once again i dont know if thats the name of those teeth)

My wisdom teeth are coming in, and they itch like hell.  I too, have braces, so I don't know if removing the wisdom teeth is a possibility.

I don't know how that works. Ask your dentist.

Mine came in late and I waited.......big mistake. Take them out as soon as you can. I can't remember why, but if you wait they are harder to get out. All four of mine required oral surgery and a week on the couch afterwards.

Just pull them out with a pair of pliers.

ArgH! ?Scary.

I just re-started wearing my retainer and GOD DAMN it HURTS!! ?Your teeth feel like they are being slowly pulled (Which, is actually whats happening) but damn, it hurts. ?My advice: ?Where it from the start no matter the pain. ?It is worth it!!!
