[quote=Anonymous]I had braces as an adult and the pain and discomfort was so much, and so unrelenting (just no true relief and all my orthodontist could suggest was more Advil) that I had my braces removed before treatment was done. I decided the pain wasn't worth it. I could not sleep, has headaches almost daily, and found myself thinking about the pain all the time when I needed to focus on other things.

I am not autistic and I don't have a low pain tolerance generally. I have given birth, passed large kidney stones, and had surgery on my knee. The pain of braces was worse than any of those because of where it is and the inability to escape the sensation no matter what I did. Braces also make eating and talking to people, things id normally do to help myself tolerate pain, harder and less pleasant.

I am curious if the people saying "just make him do it" have had braces and if so if they remember the experience well. I remember my orthodontist trying to talk me out of removing my braces and giving me all these lectures about why I needed to stick with it. But I was an adult and I just wanted them off. The day they were removed was glorious. Never again.[/quote]
