Braces! I have to get them but im going to prom! Help?!


Question: Ok, I have to get braces, and they will be on for 9-12 months. The problem is my junior prom is in May, and then I take my senior pictures sometime in June. I want to get these things a.s.a.p., which could be in 2 weeks because I don't want to wear them for graduation. The problem! I dont want them for prom and pics, but i want them as soon as possible, i might have to wait until June...and advice?

i would wait until after i done all the things i wanted to do without braces. nothing is going to change with your teeth in the length of time. you need them now, you'll still need them then. either way, you're going to have to get them so you might as well hold off until you do the things you want.

well could you get invisalign or have your teeth grown in differently

I understand how you feel because I have a class reunion later this year and I want my braces off by then too.

Unfortunately, when the orthodontist tells you how long you have to wear your braces, the treatment often takes longer. So it is possible that whether you wait or not, they will still be on for graduation.

If you really want your senior pictures without braces, then wait until after the pics are taken. I would choose to have the senior pictures taken before the braces because it's the yearbook that most people will remember.

The other way to look at it is that the braces probably won't look as bad as you think so just get them put in asap and know you'll look great in your pictures either way.

Hope that helps

Well I would go ahead and get them because by June your teeth could get worse. I would rather have braces on in a pic then wait and then your teeth move and they are worse and you have to wear them for longer.
