Ok, well my mom had metal braces in high school, and it was for the same reason as me. So you have your two front teeth, then the two next to it, and then the teeth next to that. Well my teeth next to the teeth by my front two (when i say teeth, i mean the one tooth on each side of my mouth. (right and left of the two front teeth)) are growing in really high. They are the adult teeth growing in, and the dentist said that I probably need braces to help put them in straight and not crooked. So I haven’t seen the orthodontist yet, but we have an appointment, but I was just wondering, do you think I would need metal braces or invisalign? Or either?
Thanks ahead of time!

I had the same exact problem Im sure either would work, but invisalign would take longer. For me, i got metal braces. And those two theeth all the way up there, came down by my next visit to the othadontist. Which was 6 weeks. Well good l uck, and eat lots of icecream when you get your braces! It helps!
Since I think you’re still young, most orthodontists don’t like giving Invisalign to young people. And if those teeth are higher than the others, Invisalign may not work for you. Invisalign works well when there’s crowding of the teeth and they need to be straightened. Not when there’s certain teeth way out of place. Go with the normal braces.
Well Invisalign does the same thing as braces. But braces does it faster. I personally prefer braces because braces is quicker and many people have them. Invisalign you have to take off when you eat, and overall whenever you want. Which ever your more comfortable with. THe doc will give you the choice!
You can get more info and even find a list of orthodontists local to where you live, at http://www.braces.org, the website with general information from the American Association of Orthodontists. With either type of braces, your teeth will be tender sometimes, so they even have recommended recipes and tips. Also, the website http://www.DentaKit.com has some clever products for people in braces, retainers and aligners.
