Omg please someone will I have to get braces????!?

I posted this on the Diet section and people said I need to see a doctor and get braces, please tell me thats not the case?? =(





How do I stop my teeth from stickin out? I look like a horse?





I lost like 60 lbs in 5 months. I used to be 190 lbs and now I'm 130. I'm 19/male/5'8 and well I eat healthy, but most of the times I skip lunch, and that's only because I'm in school from 7 to 4 and I don't really crave anything, I think its because I'm always doing something. So I was looking at recent pictures of myself, and my teeth are REALLY noticeable, its as if it were outside my mouth ugh. I think Hilary Duff had a similar problem, anyone know what she mightve done, or recommend SOMETHING please.

Listen dear,





If there is something wrong with your bite or your teeth are crooked that is the only time that you need braces (I work with a dentist), now if for whatever reason you go to the dentist and they say you need braces ask about what is called "Orthoclear" or "Invisialign". Both of those work like braces but without the wires and all the other ugly stuff. They look clear mouthguards (like to whiten your teeth!) and you take them off to eat. They are painless and don't make you look wierd. Just check it out and see what they tell you.





OH, before I forget, as a general rule the Orthoclear and Invisialign cost about the same if not a little bit less than regular braces.





Ciao!

no one "has" to get them
Reply:Just get braces it won't hurt you I promise. Lots of people have to get braces.
Reply:my best answer is sergery but if u don't want that then yeah braces!!!!!
Reply:Possibly your teeth are too big for your mouth and they are subject to crowding. You may need to have a few pulled (bi-lateral incisors). Without a photo one can't tell. Maybe a retainer is all that is necessary or those Invisaline braces that are practically invisable.
Reply:Orthodontics is pretty advanced now there is invisible braces that you can get as an adult that don't show at all unless they are pointed out. Overbites won't kill you but if you want to look better its worth the investment.
Reply:hmm id say braces but they do make the "invisible" kind now
Reply:you need to go to your dentist they can probably give you a retainer to help your teeth??





%26amp; braces are cool now I wore them as an adult..... honestly


plus they have those invisable ones now too





good luck with your decision making
Reply:If you want them to stop sticking out, get braces.





But be happy, you don't have to get the noticable metal painful braces like I did ten years ago, you can get braces called Invisalign. These are cleaaar braces you put on your teeth every day, you take them off tomeat and put the pack on, not metal, no glue, just a tooth mold that haas been designed especially for you.





Check it out.
Reply:Sounds like you do need braces, but they are not that bad! i had them for two years and now i am a model! If you are afraid of what you would look like with them on just get the invisiline braces-----they are awesome and they are invisible because they are clear plastic!!! trust me i know, my dad is a dentist!
Reply:It sounds like (from your description) you have an overbite. I had one, and I had to wear a big retainer thing for a year or so, and it corrected my bite. They were going to put me in braces afterward, but my teeth aren't really too crooked, so I opted not to. If your teeth are pretty straight, other than the sticking out issue, you may not have to have braces. However, they do have a lot less obnoxious options for them now than they did 20 years ago.





You'll need to go to an orthodontist...they will take x-rays and stuff and will let you know what the best course of action is. It may be kind of expensive, but if your self-esteem is suffering, it will be worth it in the long run.
Reply:Dude, I had the same problem. I had crowding in my teeth so they pulled two of them (one on each side) and I had to wear braces for a year. I have a million dollar smile now.....no; not really. It's worth $5 tops but it looks better than before........good luck!
Reply:You might have other options besides braces. You should first see your dentist and see what he says. You should still see an orthodontist. Most orthodontist offer consulations for little to no fee. There is nothing wrong with getting braces. I am 24 and I just got braces put on today. Even if the orthodontist recommended that you get braces for 2 years, it will go by quickly and it will all be worth it once you look in the mirror at your beautiful smile. I don't know what Hilary Duff did, but it won't hurt to at least consult with an orthodontist. I wish you the best of luck.
Reply:you probably will have to get braces. but no worries, i just got mine on today and it doesn't really hurt. if you are worried about your appearance, don't worry. many adults these days have braces. do you want to look like a horse for the rest of your life? then get braces if you want nice straight teeth and a higher confidence. some people are even making fake braces because they look cool. here is a website to help you out.
