bruh

- (lowkey toya would have like... invisalign but invisalign people are my enemies so braces curse for him too)

- anything the dentist tells akito not to eat he eats anyways (apples, popcorn, chewing gum, etc) and then the day before his next appointment he's like fuckkkkkkk the dentist is gonna be able to tell i ate all the stuff they told me not to <- experience i had several times

- akito got his first (his teeth were fucked im talking he needed springs and stuff OW) and he complained a bunch about the pain. toya thought he was just exaggerating but then he got his and holyyyyyy,,,,,, luckily akito was there ready with ice packs and painkillers and soft food

- toya's bands are disposed of correctly and efficiently. akito's... are not💔

- toya does this thing where he like hooks his lips on the hooks where bands are meant to go (kinda hard to describe but it looks horrifying) he does it subconsciously and freaks everyone around him out but its like a stim for him (also a habit i had)

- akito and toya are making out and uhhhh get stuck (idk if thats a thing that actually happens (never got to try) but bear with) akito's like fuck. he calls and texts ena a bunch to get her to come help them,, cue 1000000 photos being taken, ena laughing for like 2 minutes straight like she cant breathe her sides hurt and everything, she facetimes mizuki who texts an and long story short a picture of akito and toya stuck together gets shared to essentially all of kamiyama. akito is like bright red with embarrassment and rage and toya is just kinda blinking like huh. ok. eventually ena helps them get unstuck

- when toya got his off akito freaked out every time he opened his mouth bc he was so used to him with braces that his normal teeth were scary to him

- once akito gets his off (after toya did bc his teeth were really fucked) he has a wire behind his front teeth that pissed him off endlessly

- akito smiles a lot more now that he has his off

- toya had them for just under 2 years, akito had them for nearly 4

- once they're off akito wears his retainer EVERY night. he may not have been diligent about anything else when braces but he does NOT want to go through any of that ever again so he makes sure his teeth stay in place

- toya never wears his retainer. he tried it for a week and slept so badly cuz of the discomfort that he vowed off it forever. (maybe he'll wear it like 2 nights before the dentist . maybe) he's so real for that

(may do more for the rest of the characters (not in as much detail tho,,))
