Should I Wait Until After May To Get My Braces?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 5th, 2009

On january 30th i’m going to be in a pageant and I know I really really don’t want braces on that day. And in May it’s my senior prom and I really really don’t want braces on that day either. My mom wants me to get them on now though but I kinda want to wait. I wouldn’t mind getting them on now but I still have that pageant and my senior prom! People are going to say its not that big of a deal but to me braces is a BIG deal! All my life I’ve modeled and been in pageants and that’s why my appearance is so important to me. I know that in the end it’ll all be worth it but i don’t know… Having braces on for my two years of modeling and doing pageants and my senior prom will kill me.. And my orthodontist already said that invisalign isn’t an option.

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
