I got a removable brace for free on the NHS.

Unfortunately, the orthodontist was incompetent, and the mould for it was incorrect, which meant that it was not only uncomfortable and overly painful, but it meant that it wasn't working.

I got told to cough up £50 for a new one or to live with it; I chose to live with having my teeth the way they are, and they're currently just as good as anyone elses.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

You know something is wrong when you have to cough up dental braces.
