Anyone here have braces as a kid/teen/adult? Any horror stories?

Heh. I have to say I am extremely grateful to my orthodontist. I came from a single parent household with very little money. We were on whatever coverage the state of MA was providing at the time to the poor and it was very basic to the absolute needs. The TMJ remediation was expensive and never would have happened if that orthodontist hadn't gone way above and beyond on his own time with whoever he had to to get it approved. IIRC he even brought my school transcripts in and showed them a chart where my grades went from the first percentile to the fiftieth in direct parallel to the condition. Even then they only paid half and he just ate the rest I think. I had debilitating migraines a couple times a week at that point and I shudder to think what my childhood would have been like if he hadn't done that for me. Looking back I wonder how many other kids he did that for and hope he understands how grateful we are to him.
