I am 13, is there still time for me to "grow into my teeth"??

My 2 front teeth are wider and about 2 mm longer than the others and I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could get them filed down I would be so happy with my smile and it would be basically perfect. I actually try not to smile that much because i hate it so much! :( and I know other people notice but are just way to kind to say anything!!! But I have been made fun of before... I asked my dentist's assistant (i think they're called hygentists) a while ago if she would file them down but said I was too young and offered orthodonics to pull down the teeth around them to make it seem more level. So I got a consult with a orthodonist who said he could do that, but then he also said that he could file them down! My parents didn't get me braces because they are not going to pay $3,000 to just correct that and nothing else because the rest of my teeth are straight! So one says no, one says yes. I am confused and I would like to do something about it this summer before highschool.

calm down.


you'll still be able to grow into them.


your whole body doesn't stop growing until your 25.


i think that includes your teeth.


in the meantime don't be afraid to smile.


u look worse when you try to hide it and better when your more confident. also try drinking more milk. lol :D
Reply:Thumbs up Lina is right you still have a long way to go before you are fully grown. Your body is still changing.
Reply:I think you should get a second opinion. At 13 Im pretty sure your done with the teeth growing. If your old enough to get braces your old enough to get your teeth filed. I personally think you should be happy with yourself the way you are BUT if it will boost your confidence then go for it and get those bad boys filed.
