😕 Umm, you are supposed to take even EXTRA care of your teeth when you have braces. Once a day is definitely NOT enough. They have special tools for flossing for people with braces. USE THEM. If not, use mouthwash religiously. Have you tried to imagine how gross your teeth will be once you get them braces off?

lol 🙂 My teeth will be whitened and then be beautiful. Everyone else my age has already whitened their teeth, I think it's time for me.

I WILL HAVE AMAZING TEETH 😀 Maybe not a beautiful smile but... I will have good lookin' teeth.

Oh? How old are you? 15? How will you have amazing teeth? Explain that to me. You will have weakened enamel, that's what. Your teeth will already be weak from the years of braces and then you're going to put it through chemicals/uv lamp? I don't mean to sound kinda harsh, but you should really think about taking care of your teeth first of all before thinking about more cosmetic procedures.

No way would I brush my teeth in the restroom at work. Too much airborne bacteria.

Yeah, I'd hate to kill all of that extra bacteria with my toothpaste.

Well, since the average age of getting braces is in the preteens, I'd say 15 might be overshooting.

Yes, average age.

I'm 18. I'll have my braces off, hopefully... by the end of the year, though I am doubtful. Probably somewhere in early '09. (February?)

I have good teeth. 🙂 (They just came in differently)
 
I brush twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I only floss about once a week although I probably should do it a lot more frequently.

I never flossed under my braces ans my teeth came out shining white.
 
Is this ganna turn into that tongue scraping shenanigans that we had a little while ago? Hell I even remember some guy using scissors to clean his tongue.
