Question:
Ok, I have a slight overbite. It's not THAT bad, but I really hate it and i'm really self-conceous about it. I think it's because my front teeth are too long. I'm 14 and I talked to my mom about getting my teeth shaved down but she said no. Will my dentist give me braces if they aren't that bad, but I really hate the way my teeth look? Please answer! Thank you!
Answers:
You shouldn't shave it. Tell your dentist this problem and ask him do i need braces? He'll tell u and make the decision for u. Even if it's a small problem, probably he/she will fix it.
First of all, i want to say, if you need/want braces, an orthodontist is more suited for the job. They SPECIALIZE in braces, while dentists only do teeth in general. And yeah, of course, i mean, that's what braces are for. They can fix over/under bites, crooked teeth, anything! Wearing them might be a pain, but with the right orthodontist, you will end up with fabulous teeth ;] Take it from a person who's had braces and taken them off!
