Do you think i should get a brace? Pics inside!?!


Question: Do you think i should get a brace? Pics inside!?
Hi everyone, just wondering what your opinions are on my teeth...

At the moment im undergoing a "six month smile" for my top set of teeth, it has cost me just over 2 grand so as you can imagine i was a little apprehensive of getting the bottom done.
I decided id stick to the top for now and maybe get bottom done after.
Im 9 weeks into treatment and now my top teeth are almost straight my bottom look really bad.

What would you do?

Perhaps you can do Invisaline braces for your bottoms? That might just be American technology, idk, but i would think you'd be able to get it where you are.
Basically it's a clear retainer-like thing, and it straightens teeth just like braces. It should be cheaper than what you're doing now.
If you can't do that, just know that there are braces you can get that go behind your teeth...they're like regular braces, just on the back of your teeth instead of the front. (I figure that would bother your tongue though.)

What i'm saying is, if you want to straighten your teeth just know that there are other cheaper ways of doing it.
I honestly don't think your bottoms are that bad though.

Goodluck on whatever you decide to get done. :)
(I can't wait to get my braces off monday!) Hooray, for straight teeth!



EDIT:
Well, regular braces work pretty fast. When i first got my regular ones, i had a completely sideways tooth and it straightened up in about two months. Actually they all did. So it really doesn't take that long. I just figured that would cheaper since it's so much older, but i may be wrong. Either way, it will take a little time. If you have the money, go for it. I'm pretty sure you wouldnt have any regrets. :)



Yeah, you need to use braces in your bottom teeth, but I agree with you about that the coast is very expensive...So, by the way, I think that they are neccesary and a matter of health.. Good luck with treatment.



yes, u dont have bad teeth at all but im sure u wont regret it when they're off :)



Hi Rachel,
I knowhow you feel.
When I had mine done with my bite I only concentrated on the upper teeth as the lower were not visible and my bit I am happy with. Best to discuss wiht your orthodontist and depends how badly it bothers you.
I like many others have an adverse fear of the dentist whihc is due to a really frightening experience when I was a kid. I used to sleepless nights and break out in cold sweats just thinking about it. That is until my friends told me about a youtube video which I related to and I got a hold of a Free Fear report which helped me to address my fear to take action.
I found a really sympathetic dentist who helped me step by step encouraging me to get the treatment I needed.

I no longer have teeth or gums problems and have got to the stage that seeing the dentist is just not such an ordeal now. This has also helped my friends and I can assure you that I was the dentist's worse patient. Not now and if you are truly phobic and afraid of the dentist get to see the video and the report is life changing.

Do not suffer any longer. Get your smile back.
All the best, and keep smiling ok?
