I've sucked my thumb for years now i want to stop and i need my teeth fixed.Should i get braces or invisalign?

Question

Ok i was saying that i sucked my thumb sence i was 2 and i am now turning 16.Yes i am a very pretty girl,but its just that i have a over bite.{my front teeth} and i need my teeth to be fixed. My only problem is i dont want braces because i am going on my prom soon!!!!! And i dont want to go to college with braces on my teeth. I do want invisalign but i dont know if it will be too expensive,and i dont want them in my mouth for too long...PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

do what im gonna do..get these braces called in-orvation for half the time(you can get them clear and you dont have to wear rubber bands or anything like normal braces!) then get invisalign the other half.

Answer 2

i was told by a dentist that the younger you are the less time you will need to wear braces but all in all the thumb sucking needs to stop because no amount of brace time will help.my daughter had the same problem and because of that habit developed an overbite,now that she is an adult she regrets the thumb sucking practice and was told if she had stopped sooner and gotten braces she would have realigned her teeth within 6 months.

Answer 3

Get Braces.  I also sucked my thumb until I was about 9 or 10. Also had overbite.  I had a great ortho, the guy who made the 1st retainers for clefs, who aligned my teeth perfectly with braces without taking any tooth out, only lazy dentists do that.

Braces are far more effective, you will get the most out of it in the long term!  Prom will be over just like that!
