Ranting is Fun

Braces

If anyone reading this has braces, you already know everything I'm going to talk about.

Braces are incredibly annoying. If you have/have had braces, you can relate to everything I'm about to say.

For the first week, your mouth is scratched raw.

The wax doesn't help.

It takes forever to eat.

You brush your teeth for like five minutes straight to make sure you don't have food remaining behind.

You can't get food out of your braces with your tongue.

The new wires every month or so are incredibly painful.

You can't whiten or your mouth will look like a checkerboard.

The rubber bands don't do anything but cause you pain.

You miss school once or twice every month for orthodontist appointments.

You don't floss because the little floss threaders are impossible.

Eating fruit roll-ups is near impossible.

There's a bunch of metal stuck in your mouth for the next year or so of your life.

Then there are the dumb rules that no one follows.

Don't eat popcorn. (Admit it: we all do)

No gum permitted. (Does sugar-free count? No, probably not)

No chewy candy. (I wouldn't consider fruit roll-ups candy...)

No nuts. (That's a suggestion)

No soda. (Ha. Yeah, right.)

Braces are really just pieces of metal and wire glued to one's teeth to make them straight.

Sounds crazy when I say it like that, doesn't it?

A/N

Thanks for reading everyone! Please comment/vote etc... I might stop this as I'm about to get busy for the last few weeks of summer.

I have an idea for an ACTUAL story, so that might happen later on, after some outlining.

This rant is literally my legacy. I complain about my braces all the time. It's nice to write about it.

Thanks again for reading!
