Would you wear braces forever?

Bracesagain:
If you could wear real metal braces forever, would you?

Let’s say hypothetically there would be no medical damage to your teeth and no additional risk of cavity or decay. You also have to have appointments every 4 weeks and you still feel the soreness from tightening and adjustment. If you decide to wear braces, they are permanently attached to your teeth for the rest of your life and you can’t change your mind and take them off ever.

Reality wise (not just fantasy) could you do it?

surfreak:
I am relatively close to getting braces again, with 54 years of age.
We‘re just waiting for an answer from my insurance, to schedule the glueday.
Currently, before they are in, I would love to wear them forever.
I definitely will ask the orthodontist to keep them on, as long as possible.
also for retention.
In my teens I already had to deal with brackets and for some time also with
headgear. The hate in the beginning ended up in some kind of love for all of it
and I also had some „tears in my eyes“ even being happy to get them to off.

Now they should stay forever - al least for as long as possible in any way.
Let’s see, what the experience will make out of this idea over the months.

TrainTrack:
This would be awful. Brutal. In real life, no. In fantasy, no. It was good while my treatment lasted, but I was glad to get rid of them.

Bracesagain:
Interesting answers!

I myself have real metal braces and am loving it. It has been a couple of years now and I am thinking if I had the choice to keep them on forever, would I do it? I think I would. I am such a sucker for braces  :-X my obsession with them has not died down at all. Actually, I think every day I get more and more turned on by my braces!

duncombec:
Interesting question.

I have to answer it in my usual way - would I wear them myself? Absolutely not. But could I see myself enforcing it on someone else? Very tempting.

It would have to be 'deserving' though: someone with an attitude problem, for example, or the sports jock... Not just any old person I happened to find.
