These days like everyone has braces. I never cared about my teeth but my dentist reccommended me to get them too because my top and bottom set of teeth meet at the same level. He said your top set of teeth are suppose to be more upfront then ur bottom. Is tat true that your top set of teeth suppose to be more upfront than the bottom set of teeth? I really dont want to get them! ARGH!

Yes! You should get them as soon as possible. You'll have a better bite (important when eating and in old age) and an overall better/more pleasing appearance.

The younger you are, the better too. No regrets, eh?

ain't he the cutest

your top set is suppose to stick out over the bottom set (but not so much that it's an overbite)

if you can afford it, get it. braces are a pain to have but worth it.

i think your top row is supposed to overlap the bottom row of teeth.

I think you should get them.
I've had my braces for 3 years and now that I've gotten them off, I feel that it was definitely worth it. smile.gif
They weren't that bad.

Love me when it makes no sense at all.

it matters...

if your teeth are right now top of each other, they grind, and then they get weaker and more sensitive...that's what happened to me and i have had braces for a lil over two years now....when a doctor suggests something to you...you should do it

Retainers are only for small problems or to follow up after braces so the teeth don't go back to it's before state.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how is it bad having to get your teeth cleaned and cavities filled?....

most people get wisdom teeth removed because there isn't enough room so it'll crowd the other teeth, mess up alignment, and because they're so far back, they're hard to clean and prone to cavities. if you get braces because of crooked crowded teeth, eventually you'll want wisdom teeth removed anyways.

Yeahh! It's true that your top teeth should go over you bottom teeth, Everyone should have a bit of an overbite!
I have an overjet, (Ugh!). <-- I'm getting braces because I have one. But it's gonna costs like 8 grand. >.<

Chibi-Dayo:
Not everyone has to get teeth pulled in order to get braces, but yeah. Getting cavities filled....my ortho said I didn't have to.
But it would be best if I did to prevent future problems. Plusss, it would suck if you had a toothache and braces at the same time, yeah?

I think you should get them. My teeth were like yours. Braces aren't as bad. my results so far are good. my bite is getting a lot better.

good luck with yours, if you decide to get them:o)

Yes, most peoples teeth aren't "perfect".

I don't think you REALLY need to get them if you don't want them but
in some cases when it's really bad than when that person is a lot older their
teeth can cave in and collapse. Or like another person said, you can grind on your teeth and they wear away.
And your jaw alignment might not be positioned correctly.
