What do you think i should do i really think its to late cause on average they are on 2 years and i dont want them for my junior and senior year. i want them during college or after is this possible please help thankyou

Answer 1

Invisalign.

They are invisible braces. Fit onto your teeth Just a little more expensive than regular metal braces.

Look it up.

But your dentist won't have control of it it's from a company.

Answer 2

they have braces that go behind you teeth and invisilign but if you parents want you 2 go for it you will thank em for it later trust me

Answer 3

I had braces in college instead of high school and figured out the following things...

- If you have braces in college, you stand out way more than if you have braces in high school.

- I had fairly straight teeth already.  A different dentist told me later I could just have had porcelein veneers put on and had them appear perfect rather than having to suffer through 2 years of braces.

-Since your jaw and skull have basically fully ossified (hardened) by the time you are 18, its way more common to see adults develop Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) from braces that are put on after they are adults.

Answer 4

I think you'd be happier doing it now than later in life when people will take you less seriously. High School is not important enough to end up with hobo teeth because you wanna look cool.

Answer 5

well alot of guys decide against this because of girls.. well because you did not consider this earlier i think it would be a good idea... if your teath arent that bad then you wont have braces for long so if you get them now it'l be done and over with... and trust me decent is no where close to striaght teeth:)

Answer 6

Get invisalign instead then

Answer 7

you can get braces at any age, so if you wanted to wait you could still get them later. if you let your wisdom teeth (if you still have them) come in though, it may make your other teeth far more crooked than they are now which could cause you to need the braces longer. you could also look into getting the invisalign clear braces; they would not be nearly as noticeable and would still be safe with sports. good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Answer 8

Well you only need braces if your teeth need correcting  But if you do not want people to know you have Braces i would get some invisiable onces but they normally cost more than the normal onces

Answer 9

hun do it! I'm 20 and my teeth aren't that bad they lean a little and my parents have put off getting me braces forever. I'm going to a new university and can't do anything about it now. If you want them in college than talk to your parents but I hate being in college and knowing I'm going to look like a kid with braces. (I'm trying for a retainer since my teeth aren't that bad)

invisalign is really pricey compared to regular braces but if you're parents have the money I would totally do that.
