I'm 20. I had braces for 2 and a half years and got them taken off last month. I am extremely unhappy with my awful results. I told my orthodontist the teeth weren't straight and she said "I wouldn't take them off if I wasn't 100% satisfied." My teeth are crooked, the right side is sticking out, and the left side is slanting. I hate them so much and now I'm embarrassed to even smile.
