It's been 10 years since I started orthodontics. Of course, I still don't wear braces, but I only wear braces to maintain my braces to sleep at night. All of the people I know who have had braces have had tooth extractions, and without exception, they say they will wear braces for the rest of their lives. When I was in the military, I didn't wear braces for 2 years, and the space between my teeth became a little wide open. Because of this, food gets stuck easily, which is a huge pain. When getting braces, rather than thinking like me that it'll be okay after 2 or 3 years of suffering, I have to wear braces until I die. If you recognize the mole and get it corrected, you won't regret it like I did.
