I had braces for 4 years... about 2 years ago... w/e... but i've actually been told that i have "a hot smile" or a "sexy smile"... but the doctor, dentist, and orthadontist (different one) said I should really get braces... and my friends say that it'd be fine, and some say I should... but I'm gonna be a freshman in high school on the 23rd... i mean a lot of my friends have braces... but I don't think i want to start hs with them... but.. just can u please tell me your opinion

Answers:
Well, first of all it is Orthodontist and not orthadontist. Your question is rather confusing and hard to understand. You stated that you had braces for 4 years but you still have misaligned teeth? Regarding overbite, you are supposed to have at least 2 mm of overbite. Based on your description, you may have some Orthodontic problems and may be a candidate for Invisalign, which uses a series of clear plastic trays to straighten your teeth. Check them out Invisalign.com
well i think its always good to get braces just so that they are perfect. If you're worried about entering high school with them why don't you try invisaline. They always have commercials about them. Its just like a retainer and its invisable so no one will be able to tell. Ask your ortho about it. See if they have that option at that one.
If the experts recommend it... do it. It's much better to have braces now than to have them as an adult and regret not getting them when you were younger.
Yess you should. Smiles are very important. The sooner you put them on the sooner you will take them off. Look on the bright side, when you graduate high school you will have a beautiful smile and nice looking teeth. Trust me, I didn't want to put braces at first, I was a sophomore in High School but once I graduated, I had a beautiful smile and although my teeth were not too bad before the braces, it still made a BIG change in the way I smile and the way I look. Do it. You will be happy you did.
If you think that you need to get braces again, go for it. I thought of it as this, as long as your braces are off before your senior pictures, it's all good :)
I think its always good to get braces even if u need them for realy littel problems.
Just get braces now so they'll be off for your senior year. I'm a junior this year and I regret not getting them sooner because everyone got theirs off last year but I'm just getting them on.
