I have messed up teeth?!
Question: The health of my teeth are good. They are white, no cavities etc. BUT...They look so bad.
I have 4 wisdoms still. I have to get rid of them soon because they hurt, but the thing that bothers me psychologically is my two capital teeth. One is kind of back and the other is kind of forward. They both have a straight pitch. but because of crowding, one is sticking forward more. I also have a bit of an underbite. I have seen pictures on google, and they aren't quite as severe as what they show, but I do..
What do you think the doctors would suggest for my problems? I am mainly keen on getting them wisdom out, and fixing my two front teeth.
I am an adult, and to be honest I could not live with braces. I refuse to get them no matter how persistent my dentist will be. What do you guys thinks??

First of all get the wisdom teeth out. That alone will rid you of discomfort and give you more room in your mouth if crowding is an issue. The basic answer of what can be done to fix your teeth is obviously braces. Since you said you can't live with braces as an adult I will assume your reasons aree cosmetic. The answer: Invisalign. I am an adult and have suffered embarassment and insecurity of crooked teeth since childhood. Once I was able to finally afford braces to correct my smile, I didn't want a mouth of metal. Invisalign is a series of clear plastic trays that gradually move your teeth. Every 2 weeks you pop in a new set of trays. The end result is straighter teeth without people really noticing you have "braces". I'm almost one with my treatment, and am comfortable smiling and talking to new people without worrying they are judging my crooked teeth. Check it out, because honestly, feeling better about yourself is something that shines throught to everyone.
I don't understand your resistance to braces. I am a 26 year old female and I have braces. They do not cause any hard to your physical appearance. I am beautiful and the compliments keep coming.
The only other thing I can tell you is to get veneers or some invisible braces (clear)
You could get invisilign braces. They are clear and you can't see them. Talk to an orthodontist.
Wisdom teeth are probably crowding the teeth. Since you're planning on taking care of the wisdom teeth, that would be an excellent time to discuss your two front teeth with your dentist.
He/she may bring up braces. We all know how you feel about that. Then there's the possibility the dentist may suggest getting both front teeth pulled and replaced with a partial plate. Husband had a partial plate for years, because he lost one front tooth playing football in high school.
Years later he had the tooth permanently implanted.
Any other suggestions, I wouldn't know about.
