Braces or no?

i`m a freshman in hs and mii front teeth are crooked; the first 2 in the front are; ii don't think they are that bad tho. my dentist says all mii other teeth are perfect. SO if I was to get braces I would only have it on the top teeth. Can I just get a retainter or something else for those specific 2 teeth? I don't want crooked teeth in senior year buht I don't wanna be walkin around with braces either. So what should I do? Any other way to get "perfect teeth?"

Braces or no?
Im thirteen, and I think you should ask youre dentist about getting braces becuase a friend of mine had an issue like yours and got braces onn just four of her teeth and she looks fine, you dont have to get all braces, and i have braces and in the long run its better because you wont be so self-concious when you smile, snd you probably wont have to wear them for very long, if you get them. I say get the braces.Plus its better to get braces while you're young soo that you dont look stupid wearing braces at like 20 years old.
Reply:Braces will make a difference in the long run.


Get them.
Reply:Get them.
Reply:braces would be better ... if your fine with having messed up teeth for the rest of your life then don't get them !
Reply:just DO it. or get invisiline. or any kind of clear braces. ask your dentist. your gna wanna do it now as a freshhyyy rather than later in life. ull start paying close attention to stuff like taht later and youlll regret it
Reply:Get a retainer at night if it isnt that bad.
Reply:invisiline..idk or just get them it is way better getting them now instead of when you are like.. old..id ya kna what i meannn
Reply:GET BRACES WHILE YOUR YOUNG!!!!! I am 21 and regret that i didnt get to get them while i was younger.
Reply:Can you do invisalign?
Reply:invisaligh? i know i spelled it wrong


dont, worry u wont hae to get them on the bottom and theyll be off fast


there's also inside out braces that are painful...oww
Reply:You can just get braces on for front upper teeth. About 4 would probably be sufficient. And you wouldn't need them for that long, considering that it's only 2 teeth. They really aren't that bad. People don't even notice braces anymore, especially if you get those really small ones.
Reply:have you looked into that invisalign thing? its like a clear retainer and you get a new one every couple weeks to make your teeth straighten. Otherwise braces arent that bad, and the quicket you get them the sooner they'll be off. I totally think they're worth having straight teeth!
Reply:Retainers are for after you get braces, so that won't work.





If you do get braces, though, it won't be for long; since you're a freshman, it's highly unlikely you'll still have braces until your senior year.





I'd say go ahead with the braces if you had a choice. Most people have them for two years, but I'm sure yours won't even need that much time!
Reply:I'm a freshman and I have braces and mine will be coming off really soon. It'll be totally worth it to get the braces. You'll love the results. Lots of my friends have had braces. If they're on the top, it won't look bad/geeky at all. Just go for it! If you don't you'll regret it. You want your senior pictures to look the best they can. If your teeth are so nice, you won't have to wear them for long at all so just get 'em over with. You'll love your straight teeth.
Reply:See an Orthodontist who will give you options.
Reply:If you have some extra money then you can buy these invisable retainer like thing that,over time, straightens and aligns ur teeth.
Reply:I have braces and they are not that bad, so I would say that you should just get braces.
Reply:I'm 13 so I have never went to high school yet,but i can tell ya that you should get braces because they come in alot of different colours which is great!!! I never had braces but if you get braces, i would recommend white because they are UNIQUE, my friend has em:P :P Hope i helped
Reply:i you should wear braces and wear those fake teeth coverup over the braces so it wont be visible.but the bad side is you cant kiss incase the cover comes of
Reply:my niece had the same question but you need to get them in the end you will be happy that you did you can always get the clear braces. if your worried that the boys will not like you think again bc i bet you pretty and trust me honey the last thing that they will be looking at while kissing you is your teeth unless you dont brush your teeth then thats another story but i think you should do it. good luck
Reply:Only 2 of my teeth are slightly crooked. I had braces too, when my teeth were kinda...messed up I guess? Well the dentist thought that all my teeth were perfect, (Friggin retard) so they took them out to early. Now I have to get surgery at around 18~24 when I'm finished growing.





ADVICE: Get braces. But if you do get them the ups are that it's better in the long run, but the downs are you might lock braces or cut someones mouth up; because My mouth has been cut up before lol :(
Reply:i wouldn't spend 3000 macaroons for 2 teeth. I would look into getting a retainer or something because if all your other teeth are crooked that's a waste of time AND money.
Reply:You should get braces. You won't have to have them on for too long and they don't hurt to bad. It will be a good decision in the long run because once you get older you will want nice straight teeth.
Reply:Well, put it this way, if you wore braces for a couple of months, you would have perfect teeth your whole life, aside to not giving up a few months in your life just so you get to live with crooked teeth! i have to wear braces until the beginning of my freshman year(im in 7th grade.)


but my mom said it's just a good thing to do, you'll be thankful for it in a couple years. if you're so embarrassed about ppl seeing u w/ them, why not ask to get them on the back of ur teeth? =)
Reply:You probably won't have to wear them very long if your teeth aren't that bad, so I say go for it! I had braces and now my teeth are gorgeous. So any discomfort is well worth it believe me.
Reply:ok to start off getting a retainer is just something that makes u have something in your gums and getting braces isnt that bad because if u get a retainer it just makes it worse cuz u wont be able to talk rite and if i were you i better get braces for both bottom and top because it will look more better and you will look even more beautiful trust me i know my sis has braces too
Reply:I worked with someone at camp this summer and she a brace that was at the back of her teeth so you couldn't see them.





At the end of the day it is your mouth and you are the one who has to live with it so you have to think about whether you can live with it as it is or do you want to straighten those teeth.
Reply:get braces...........there some what fun to wear.......next year i am going to be a freshman and i am going to have braces..........
