    Apparently there isn't an active topic on your teeth and overall cleaning habits regarding them, so.. let's discuss! How often do you brush your teeth and go to the dentist? Do you floss? How many cavities/fillings do you have, if any? Do you wear braces? How're your teeth overall appearance-wise?

    I have very straight teeth which I'm extremely thankful for, braces aren't something I'd feel comfortable with. x~x I usually brush after every meal and do my best to floss once a week at the very least, though it's a tough habit to get into, urgh. Dentist visits are usually every six months to a year.

    I always brush my teeth at least twice a day and go to the dentist every 6 months. I've never had fillings or cavities, and I wore braces for a year and a few months. I think my teeth look pretty straight and awesome.

    Oh boy what ain't wrong with my teeth. I was born with no enamel and never out grew it when my adult teeth came. I needed braces for a very long time in order to fix something that could have lead me to have chronic headaches because they grinding against each other a certain way. I go to the dentist every 3 months (that's 4 effing times a year) because of the no enamel issue to get checked for cavities and have fluoride added to them. I also used a prescription toothpaste that's high on fluoride in order to protect my teeth.

    Funny enough though brushing my teeth only once a day seems to suffice though, I do in the evening before going to bed and I use an electric brush since it does a better job than a manual one.

    My mother is actually a dental hygienist, so teeth cleanliness is super important to her. So I was raised to brush my teeth twice a day and floss once a day but floss is evil sooooooooooo. Dentist is 6 months between appointments, though I kinda come home to my own personal one, haha. Never had a cavity or a filling, though there has been minor issues with sealant and enamel. My teeth's positioning was seriously screwed up though, I had 3 years of retainers to shift them, 2 years of braces to straighten them, and now nightly retainers to keep them that way. It's been an... interesting ride.

    I wore braces for about a year and I got them taken off over a year ago. Braces weren't bad, but they weren't that good either. My teeth have always been in great condition so I don't need to worry about my teeth that much.

    I wore braces for a painful 4 years, an upper-mouth expander for over a year, and of course the spacer-rubber-band thingys and the retainer for a long time. I haven't had braces for a few years now, so I'm feeling pretty normal, but I recently had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed! It sucked for a week, but now evrything is normal. I brush my teeth about the average, 2 times a day.

    I had braces for 8 years. During this it me multiple things were made. First and biggest thing was my lower jaw. It was over my upper jaw XD try it. Move your lower jaw over your upper jaw. That was my mouth XD it was fixed by widening my upper jaw. Then one of my teeth grew along my jaw and had to be removed with a surgery. Now i have all my teeth nice and healthy. I keep good care of my mouth. Brush my teeth twice a day. I also seem to have "fangs". All my 3rd teeth are for some reason very long (imma vampire). My 1st upper teeth are also quite lagre. I also have 3 wisdom teeth.

    I've never had to suffer braces,my teeth have always been very well aligned. My main problem is how I don't take enough care of them. I really need to change that, I don't want my teeth ruined.

    Ah, teeth, yeah I've heard of them XD My teeth are really strong, they can bite through almost anything without any problem. It's almost like they're made of steel :P There was a lot of debating if I should get braces or not, but I didn't feel like I needed them, so it didn't happen. I have to admit, my teeth aren't perfectly straight aligned, or actually quite the opposite. Still, I don't care all that much about it. I have my teeth to eat with, not for show. And they do an exellent job at eating :D

    My teeth are pretty weird. My jaw itself is misaligned, so I have to wear braces not only to straighten out my teeth, but I also have a sort of retainer that is pushing my jaw so my teeth align to the correct positions. Let me tell you this though, BRACES WILL RUIN YOUR TOOTHBRUSH. I cannot stress enough how braces have messed up the bristles on my brush. Because of this, I've honestly reduced my teeth brushing to once a day so that I actually have a brush to brush with. It's pretty lousy. xD

    Oh yeah, I'm meant to brush those things, aren't I?

    I brush them every now and then, but definately less than I should... Nonetheless they still appear white! I guess they've got used to not being brushed! :P Please don't kick me out for my bad teeth cleaning habit.

    Oh jeeze. I just remembered how long it has been since I brushed my teeth.

    Yeah, I'm not so great about remembering to keep my dental hygiene up to par. I don't even know how often I brush my teeth. Flossing? Maybe last month. Oddly enough, I think I've only had two or three cavities in my entire life and they were from when I was really young. then again, it's been years since I've seen a dentist. I don't know how many cavities they would find if I let them take a look.

    I brush my teeth once a day, that's enough for me, I almost never have problems with my teeth except for that one time that the dentist had to pull one out because of a infected root (that's the word right xD) It hurt a lot, but appart from that I barely ever have trouble, so I guess my hygiene is good enough xD

    I brush every night. I can't sleep unless my teeth are brushed ;A;
    As for the dentist, I visit mine once a year. I get cavities a lot though because I like sugary things.

    I fit the bad British stereotype as my teeth are awful. Sorry guys, no teethy smiles from me.
