Also, is it normal to have pointy "vampire" teeth like I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
In your case, a retainer might suffice!. You should consult an orthodontist, but a retainer is very preferable!. Also, you could consider Invisaline inserts, which are completely clear and slowly move your teeth into a better position!. If you have the money to do it, an orthodontist can definitely improve your smile!. Not only is it cosmetic, but your jaw and teeth will close in a better position that prevents grinding, wearing, etc!. If you schedule a visit to an orthodontist, he or she will likely be able to answer all your questions right away for free or a small copay if you have insurance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Personally, I think your teeth very straight for "not" having braces!. You don't so much need them, but if you did decided to get them the braces would close the spaces between your teeth!. Since your teeth aren't real bad, you could probably go with "Invisalign" >> http://www!.invisalign!.com/WillWork/Pages!.!.!. (which is basically a retainer that fits your teeth and straightens them over time with each fitting!.) Since all you really will need is to close the spaces it probably wouldn't take too long!.

Oh, and yes the "vampire teeth" is normal!. Those are your canine teeth!. They are probable sharp because you take care of them and don't chew on "unnatural" things that can damage them - like pencils & pens, or other hard objects that can break or damage your teeth!. This is a good thing!.

I hope this helps!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am thinking you may be a teen and I remember how self conscious of every single flaw I had when I was a teen many years ago!. Well today our Society seems to think everyone should be perfect!. Perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect teeth, perfect body, but they forget about what we should be inside!.
I think your teeth are white and pretty, but if someone has made fun of you, or brought them to your attention more than they should have, then it would be o!.k!. for you to get an appointment with an Orthodontist to have your teeth checked!. I believe most times the first appointment is free!.
Good luck and make your insides as perfect as the outside!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, the answer depends on you!. If I were you, i probably would get braces!.

You see, I'm a "brace face", and they really aren't that comfy!. But, Beauty desrves pain!. I've gaps too, and that was the reason i got braces, even though they didn't really bother me!. As you said - you hate your smile - yes, you do need braces if you want to change your teeth! it's that simple :)

hope i helped :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

my sisters teeth were like that, they told her just to wait and let them close in themselves and once her wisdom teeth come in the gaps will close up!.
however she turned 19 and still didn't get her wisdom teeth so she still had the gaps, they bothered her a lot so she ended up getting them filled!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nobody really "needs" braces!. But if you are uncomfortable with your teeth being gapped, then get them!. If you are fine with the gap, then I don't think I would get them!. Everybody's teeth are different, some round, pointy!. I think your teeth look just fine though personally!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do not think you really need braces!. i have braces and they started improving in a matter of a month!. With your problem, maybe you only need it on the teeth you mentioned for about a month, if you are that worried about it!. Now I seriously needed braces, your teeth are nothing like mine were! Lucky!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My two front teeth are worse but if you're just worried about the spaces you could always look into Invisaline and yes the "vampire" teeth are normal, i think they're called incisors and that's what we use to bite into food like apples and suchWww@Answer-Health@Com

You have a little bit of an overbite and your teeth are a little too far apart!. I'd say you'd need braces, but not a full set for four years or something like that!.

I have those pointy vampire teeth thingies too!. They're normal!. It's for tearing into meat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have a gap between my two front teeth but it went a way as my teeth developed!. I think braces might be unnecessary, since your teeth are straight!. Try a retainer , they are less of a hassle and they are less noticeable!.
Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could get braces if it will boost your self-esteem, but they are pretty expensive!. Your teeth really aren't bad!. I have seen a lot worse!. Be happy with your smile!. And be happy the "vampire" teeth don't stick out !.!. That sucks, trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

get braces, now you dont know how your teeth will change with time!.!.!.you may regret not getting them later if they get worse one you will be older with brace two they will hurt three they might not turn out so good in your thirtee's!.!.!.!.althought they are not awful now not yet perfect either but i can definantly say i would not love to kiss it! Www@Answer-Health@Com

everybodys canines are pointed, thats normal!. braces are your only option regards closing the gaps, make an appointment with an orthodondist!. Some people get crowns and vineers to close gaps but in your case they would be too wide and that would look huge!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have very nice teeth!. White and straight, you shouldn't be embarassed!. However if the gap bothers you that much, talk to your dentist, I heard they can just fill it in or something!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You don't NEED braces, but they might help your smile look better!. Ask your dentist about retainers or other appliances that might straighten your teeth out a bit without the long term commitment (or expense) of braces!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
