Yes I got mine pulled out when I was 17. I was absolutely terrified and fainted just from talking about it at the consultation (which was like, a year before I got them pulled out lmao) but the whole procedure/healing time was actually relatively painless. They gave me a whole bottle of pain meds and I only took like two. It took me over a week to be able to move my mouth normally and eat solid food but I wasn't in pain which is all that really matters. I just lay on the couch eating ice-cream and playing Happy Home Designer all day (that was the only time I ever played HHD lol)
No, not yet and I'm hoping I won't have to have them pulled anytime soon. There is a suspicious tooth slightly poking through my gums though and it better not be what I think it is.
