I had braces for three years between the ages of 16-19. About a year ago I stopped wearing my plates (so stoooopid) and my teeth have shifted. They have moved so much that I can't even get my plates back on. I have become self consious about them because one of my front teeth has been pushed forward and it's not even in line with my other teeth.

Has anyone else had this happen? What did you do?

I want my straight teeth back and I am seriously considering having the braces put back on (I imagine it would only take 6 months to a year to straighten them back out).

Have you had braces in adulthood? How did you feel?
