Braces? A Little Help Please?!?!
Question: Braces.? A Little Help Please.?!.?
I know its probably the most common and unimportant thing ever but i just feel like i have to ask.
I recently visited an orthodontist about getting braces fitted. He told me that me teeth were to crowded together to get braces and if i was to i would need to get two teeth removed before i get ''train tracks'' fitted.I would then have to wear them for two years and then wear a retainer for a year after that. He also said that if i choose not to get the braces my teeth could become buckled and a bit crammed together.
My only problem is i'm in kind of a grey area because my teeth aren't that bad but yet aren't that good either.
if anyone was in the same position as me please let me know as it might help my decision.
Thank you.

I had to get four teeth out in January of this year because my overbite was so bad, and they needed the space where the four teeth were to move my other teeth into. If you get what i mean.? I had two from the top on either side and two from the bottom on either side removed.
Braces are seriously so annoying and i hate them in the short term. But then i just think about the future, like 2 years of braces and the rest of my life with really nice teeth. And that makes me feel happy about having my braces because the time has gone so fast.
If you're worried about getting your teeth pulled out, it doesn't hurt at all :) I was so scared about getting my teeth pulled out because i have never had any teeth pulled out before, i was actually crying while i was waiting in the waiting room... I over reacted a bit haha.
If your orthodontist is telling you that in the future your teeth will become buckled and crammed together you should probably listen to his advice and fix your teeth before they become a problem :) If you wait and your teeth do become buckled and crammed it will take so much longer to fix them. If you're unsure maybe ask another orthodontist for some advice. Hope that helps :)Health Question & Answer

If i was you i'd get the braces. You may not want the two teeth removed and you may not want to get braces but they really are worth it, I got braces when i was 11 years old and had them for three years, i'm now 16 and my teeth are so much better looking than what they used to look like.Health Question & Answer

Yea thats what my ortho said too! But that was last month. I am getting my braces November 19th!! Good luck! Health Question & Answer
I was in the same position. My teeth were really cramped and quite crooked and i was told i had to have 5 teeth out! I decided to have them out and to get braces becasue i knew it would be better in the future and i would have perfect teeth. If i were you i would get the braces and have the teeth out because even if they are ok now they may get worse when you are older and you will regret it when you have to pay thousands to get them. I have only had my braces 6 months but you can see the difference already and they aren't as painful as alot of people make out they are. I have to have them for 2 years like you and even though it seems like a lot time it will be totally worth it. Good luck ! xxHealth Question & Answer
