Do you like yours? Hate them? If you had the money would you get them fixed or are they really not that big of a deal to you? I have a thing for nice teeth. It's the first thing I notice about a person, maybe because I don't like mine at all. When I get the money I want braces and some bonding because I hate the color :( I would love veneers, but that would be too expensive.

I don't like mine all that much...I think they're a bit too big to really look good, I'd like to bleach, get my wisdom teeth pulled and then braces to re-straighten what the wisdom teeth effed up. They don't look bad to other people, but I'm hyper-critical of myself anyway. And I got my dad's tooth health, which sucks. I lacked just enough calcium as a kid (not sure how with all the cereal and milk I ate) so that they're more suseptible to problems.

I don't mind my teeth... I had a pallet expander for 6 months, and braces for 2.5 years as a kid... so my teeth are pretty nice ;) I've also only had 2 cavities in my entire life.

I don't especially like mine, I have a gap between my front teeth and one crooked tooth (result of an unfortunate incident with a jawbreaker when I was little). I'd love to get zoom whitening and some bonding or veneers to fix the gap, but I doubt that'll ever happen. I'm too broke.

I take good care of them and have never had a cavity, I'm a stickler for a clean mouth, I just wish they *looked* prettier.

The only thing I really don't like about mine is that I wish they were whiter. I had braces in high school and that is one of the best things my parents did for me. Although the dentist wants me to get my wisdom teeth out, it costs too much so.

Nothing wrong with my teeth cept I look like a vampire off of buffy, the canines went down really far(not in or out just straight down) and it looks cool but it is a major pain in the arse, when i say come down farther i mean alot like a good 1/2 cm, but i end up biting the inside of my mouth alot. so yeah, ok but vampire like LOL

So in the end id say im partial on the idea, it would be much better to not have my teeth like that but then again it looks cool, it just hurts when u bite the inside of ur mouth by accident

I'd like to get them whitened but that's about my only problem. I just got my braces off in November, but I've kind of forgotten about my retainer, they're kind of starting to shift now. :eek: So with my awesome luck I'll probably end up with braces again, haha.

My bottom teeth have a permanent retainer so they're okay, lol.

I hate my teeth! I never smile in pictures becuase I have this HUGE gap in my front teeth. I can seriously put my tongue through it. I would love the Invisalign braces but my insurance wont cover it and I dont exactly have a spare 5 grand laying around to pay for it. :( I have even written to like Tyra Banks about it becuase she always helps people with their smiles. My 4 year old niece told me one day that I am missing my front tooth. How embarrassing.

I can't complain.

Mine are all naturally straight, and in order. People often comment on them, which I find rather odd ("oh, haven't you got lovely teeth".. That and "oooh aren't your eyes GREEEEN").

No braces or things here.... I dread the day I have to have something done to my teeth... Which reminds me, I need to find a dentist!

I HATE mine. I was born with weak enamel. All of the my rear teeth have been filled and some of the front ones have been filled also. There isn't anything I can do. I brush and floss every day. When I was a kid the dentist did just about every thing within his power to help to no avail...which sucks...

The only thing I don't like about my teeth is a small mark on one tooth from an unfortunate incident with an iron javelina statue, that is essentially a bruise according to the orthodontist. It's really faded now, though, but I still want a. . .I can't remember what it's called when we can afford it.

Other than that they are pretty white and straight and well proportioned.
We thought I would need braces but my teeth straightened themselves out, oddly enough.

I do take it seriously to take good care of my mouth, and I have to always have fresh breath. I don't ever want to get a cavity.

Mine are "alright". They could be whiter thats for sure. But they are stained from all the coffee and tea. I can get them pretty close to white though. They are also bigger than I would like them to be. Also years ago my dentist put a cap over one of my baby molars. Which makes no since but he did. Well my mom never took me back literally I have never been back. As the years past I lost baby teeth and and grew in adult ones. Well on the right side of my mouth where my capped tooth was my canine (don't know if thats the right term) on that side grew out crooked. Not too bad but its noticable. Really my capped tooth crowed the whole side of my mouth.

So last year I get sick of having this capped sore loose baby tooth in my mouth. My mom swore up and down it wasent a baby tooth. Well I really showed her when I yanked that puppy out and TONS of blood went pouring out of my mouth. The tooth has the longest roots I had ever seen and left big holes in my gum. But what was under it? My adult tooth! I pulled the tooth out last summer and its still not fully grown but oh well.

Lol and thats my long tooth story.

8 Braces, and 6 teeth removed later and I am really quite happy with my teeth.

I have no fillings, my brothers g/f is a dental hygienist so they are clean and tidy..

So yeah, I like my teeth.. Good job really seeing as I am stuck with them! lol.

I love my teeth..... now.

I was born with this weird, genetic tooth thing. Most of my adult teeth didn't and won't form. So I'm 44 years old and still have my baby teeth, LOL! They're all capped now, just recently had them redone to celebrate quitting smoking.

It took years of braces, retainers and lots and lots of money to get them to look good. My mom always said that I had to marry a man with good dental coverage, LOL. Funny thing is that I've never had a cavity, even before they were capped.
