Braces???????????????
My teeth were the same so i got braces becuase otherwise you will need more work done later on if you dont get them on.
Reply:A cheaper solution would be to get a tooth pulled.
Reply:ask your parents see what they think sounds like u should get them :]
Reply:Make an appointment with your dentist and talk to him/her about it. You probably do need braces.
Reply:If they are actually growing into each other and causing you pain then braces would probably be a good idea. Most braces IIRC are done mostly for aesthetics (my dentist wanted to put braces on me but I didn't get them and aside from my teeth being a bit crooked I'm fine - even my wisdom teeth didn't cause any problems growing in) but in your case it sounds like it might be medically necessary.
Reply:go to a dentist and woth him/her what you are felling in your teeth, he/she will make the right desition about you getting or not getting braces
Reply:Do it. Snaggle tooth is knarly.
Reply:They are worth it, I have braces and my teeth are really benefiting from it. Not only does it help your teeth, it restructures your jaw to make it look better, well it did for me (I had an overbite) If you don't get braces now your teeth will only get worse and it'll get more painful to eat! Talk to your dentist about it and they will tell you all what you need to know. Good luck =)
Reply:contact a orthodontist for a consultation to see if you NEED braces right now. it is better to get them now then later because later on it will probably hurt more. talk to your parents about it i'm sure they would like to help you.
