If i don’t smile and try to talk without opening my mouth wide, it’s hard to notice.
I’ve known that i’ve needed braces all my life but I’ve never gotten them. It was a combination of me having many more important things to worry about and just being scared.
Anyway, here I am, 18 and the last thing i want to do is walk around with a hunk of metal in my mouth. Does anybody have any suggestions? Should I get oral surgery to fix this problem? How much would something like this cost? Would they have to put in fake teeth and how long do those last?
Can orthodontists use invisalign on every patient or just the ones that have slight abnormalities? I know there is a doctor in New York that tries his best with severe cases. Should I go to him?
