Do i need to get braces?

Hey guys,


i am thinking of getting braces soon, but i am not sure if i need one. I am posting my pic. Can someone please tell me if i really need a braces?


Also, i have been told to remove 2 teeth from top and 2 from the bottom in order to push my teeth in. Is this normal removing teeth? Is there a big difference with the quality of orthodontists' work? I am asking this question since the first place i went quoted me $8375 but the 2nd place quoted me $6000. I live in montreal by the way.

The call is yours to make, all according to how much straight teeth mean to you. I did get braces, but my teeth were way bad lot worse than yours. And I did have to have two teeth on top and two on bottom removed to have them straightened. It hurt very much every month going to get them tightened again. And it also hurts because of the wires next to your gums. But if I had it to do over again I would. I love the way my teeth look now.

Reply:It depends on the kind of work you are doing, for some types of work, appearances are not very important
