The top portion of my teeth has very very minor crowding, you can’t tell unless you look up close and even than you’d have to look carefully…I can only tell when I run my fingernail along my top front tooths, it feels a little crooked…but my bottom has moderate crowding…nobody can see my bottom teeth when I smile because only my top shows, and my orthodontist said that I am a good candidate for the invisalign braces and that I should fix my bottom ones but it’s up to me if I want to get braces or not…should I spend the money and time on fixing minor crookedness that isn’t really visible? I have the cash but I would rather spend it elsewhere or just save it…

I’d like to know alternatives to traditional braces. I’m twelve, have Medicaid insurance (doesn’t cover the full cost of regular braces anyway) and here are my dental problems: I am 23 years old, and got braces my teeth 6 months ago. I am supposed to have them on for 2 years. I got the clear ones, but I still feel hideous. I cried constantly for the first two months and began getting panick attacks and getting violently ill. I’ve been to the ER 4 times and hospitalized twice. I was so sick that the doctors thought that I had a life threatening illness. I was put on nausea medication which didn’t really help, and eventually xanax. The xanax made me relax and I am no longer sick. Being so sick made me stop worrying about the braces, and now that I am feeling better I am starting to obsess about them again. I just feel so ugly and I hate them so much that they are making me physically sick again. I am 23 years old, and got braces my teeth 6 months ago. I am supposed to have them on for 2 years.

Being so sick made me stop worrying about the braces, and now that I am feeling better I am starting to obsess about them again. I just feel so ugly and I hate them so much. I went to my orthodontist to see if I could get invisalign but he told me that I would be better off getting braces because I had an overbite and invisalign wouldn’t be able to fix that very well or make my teeth as straight as braces could. So i chose to get the ceramic braces since they are a little less noticeable then the metal kind. And of course I chose the clear bands for my ceramic braces. The clear bands turn yellow though and it doesn’t look so nice… Is there anything I can do to help prevent them from turning yellow so fast? And if they continue to turn yellow I might just go with color bands. What colored bands would look best with ceramic braces? i cant have invisalign because invisalign braces don’t have brackets to attach elastics to. i know i can get ceramic ones, but are lingual braces an option if the orthodontist told me i will need to wear elastics (the ones that run vertically in your mouth) ? Okay so my teeth have a lot of problems, i used to have an under bite but now two of my teeth in the front are going back into an under bite, and my jaw is shifting slowly one way because of it. another problem is that i act, and i got a callback from an agency, and im not sure if they would want me because im getting braces (i didn’t ask them or tell them that im going to get braces yet). i asked my orthodontist today if i could get invisalign but he said my teeth has a bigger issue so invisalign wont work. he suggested clear braces, but apparently they stain. But i forgot to ask him about braces behind your teeth, ive heard that it works really well with people who have major problems with their teeth and needs to straighten them out. but ive also heard it hurts, and it could affect your speech? is this true? but anyway i found the site: http://www.lingualcare.com/ their called iBraces. I just want to know if this is good, and if i should get them, If anyone has had this , or if anyone could help me or give me advice i will truly appreciate it! I’m 17 years old. I just got 2 of my impacted wisdom teeth pulled. I’m getting the other 2 pulled out in two weeks. I’m thinking about getting ICE braces ( http://www.iceclearbraces.com) or just ceramic, clear braces. Some orthodontists said I can get Invisalign but others said I can’t. What should I do? Do clear braces stain easily? I’m 15 years old, and I just went to the orthodontist for the first time. I am going to need braces. I wanted Invisalign, but he said they wouldn’t help my condition. So, I wanted to get clear braces, being that I can’t get Invisalign. But, I did a little research when I got home, and came across the Damon Sytem 3. It’s supposed to be less painful, and, most importantly for me, cut the length of treatment time by six months. I’m skeptical about this, though. Does it really lessen treatment time? I’d definitely go with the Damon System 3 if I can get my braces off 6 months sooner, but the clear braces are less noticeable and more attractive. What should I do? Any other information about the Damon System would help, too. tell me by the way u judge this pictures. i would like to acquire a near perfect smile/teeth. my orthodontist told me to get invisalign but could i still get ceramic braces though? im tryin really hard to make the decision. the pain and cost doesnt matter as long as the resluts are good. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/r…http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/r…http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/r…http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/r…http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/r… |
