Let me just start off by saying I'm 13 turning 14 the 21st of June and got braces back in August. When I first got braces 10 months ago I was a little sad but I improved a tad bit. Now, it has gone from bad to EXTREMELY worse. I have moments sometimes were I will cry for hours on end, where I feel at an all time low because of them.They irritate the life out of me sometimes and cause painful sores. I think at one point I actually had a suicidal thought because of the feeling of hopelessness. It seems like I will have good days where I'm better and bad days when I'm worse. It seems like the only person that actually makes me happy is my girlfriend because she's always there for me. Please help I don't know who to go to and I just need someone to talk to.

Hi. I know how you feel. When I had braces when I was younger people used to bully me telling me I was ugly and buck teeth. But I didn't care, I still wore my braces because I had an overbite so I was having problems eating. Now I have a nice smile and my classmates who used to make fun of me have really crooked teeth and wish they wore braces when they were in their teens. Think about it, suffer now and feel great later ok? You are beautiful don't let others tell you otherwise. Now if it really bothers you still, you should ask your orthodontist about the Incognito (behind-the-teeth) lingual braces. Don't be sad and please don't do anything to hurt your self. You are very young!
I know but I wonder what started this even darker behavior.
