Should I get my teeth fixed?

Question:

Ok, I have a gap between my two front teeth and an overbite. The work needed would be extensive and include breaking the roof of my mouth. I have always been sefl-conscious and dont smile with my mouth open. My husband says i look great, but should i get them fixed anyway? With my dental plan, I can afford it, but as an adult, would it be worth having to wear braces?

Answers:
You can always get clear braces (I know a few adults who have them and you can't tell they have braces unless you really look). It can never hurt to boost your self-esteem, so if you feel it will then go for it! It's nice that your husband loves you just the way you are though!

Other Answers:
If it will help your self esteem, yes. If not, why bother?

there are clear brace no one would ever be able to tell.
Do what makes YOU feel good.

It would be worth going through the braces if it makes you feel better about yourself. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks about your teeth it is whether YOU feel good about your teeth and your smile. A great smile can make you feel great and that is worth all it takes to get one. What opinion are you worried about, yours or others. Even if your an adult, and have to wear braces, so what! Do whats best for you, and don't worry about others.

My wife had the same problem. She had surgery, braces, the whole bit, all in her mid-30's. Her smile is nicer -- I always thought she was and is beautiful anyway -- and now she smiles and laughs with her mouth open and she is not self-conscious about it, certainly not to the extent that she was before the surgery and braces.

Adults wearing braces is much more common now than even 10-20 years ago. I say Go For It!

Look at it this way: If you can afford it, in two years you can have straight teeth, OR you can be two years older with the teeth you now have, always wondering if you should do it. Your decision! :-)

Best of luck!

Wearing braces is not a bad thing, if you think that fixing your teeth would make you feel better , just do it without hesitation . If you just want to please your husbend , then he already is. He would be happy in the two cases but I guess he would be happier with your teeth fixed . so you will

Bottom line is that you want to do it, you can afford it, then why not ?

if you like them the way they are, no. yeah u should, u would look even better
