I've never had braces.

Man I cant wait to get mine off
I have blisters and cankersores in my mouth all day every day :(

I only got my braces because without them, my TMJ would get to the point where my jaw would not work. TMJ is when the joint in your jaw gets grinded down. Mine is at the point where my joint was gone and my jaw was held together with the muscle alone.

Every time I went to open my mouth, my jaw would lock and I would have to 'unhinge' or dislocate my jaw manually. It was painful. The braces and a jaw wire helped...

some people with TMJ can "play" songs by popping their jaw, it seems pretty cool but I bet TMJ's no fun

I have that problem to. Mine doesn't lock unless under pressure however. That's why its dangerous for me to go underwater.
And yes it is painful to re-put it in place.

Had mine for 9 months
