SO, what does everyone think about braces?

I personally hate them. I had braces in 8th grade through 10th grade, my mom's stupid dog at 4 retainers.. I got tired of paying $250/retainer... Teeth went semi crooked again... and WAHLAH - I'm almost 24 with braces AGAIN!!! I get ID'd to buy beer and cigarettes (I know I look older than 18!!!) and people think I'm using a fake ID to get into a club... Fortunately, they are coming off in January, but I hate having to wear them again!

I HATE THESE DAMN THINGS! LOL...
