Suicidal about teeth.?!


Question: Suicidal about teeth.?
I'm 18, 19 next month, and now so desparate to change my gums and teeth. I have overbite, crossbite, uneven, crooked, discoloured and other problems. My gums don't match and there seems to be more bone in one arch than their is in another. I've spoken to my dentist who says that braces could take up to 6 years to give me a good result. That means I'll be 25 by the time anything resembling normal could be achieved. Surgery could cost thousands of pounds/dollars. Having such messed up gums and teeth is killing me inside and stops me from living as I feel so self-conscious talking to other people.

I just want them all gone. Advice?

Even dough I do not have your teeth problems,I had other health problems that constrain me for being,well,me.I am just 16 years old and the only thing I can do is try and do best for myself and wait till the results come.I had a thyroid problem since 10,now 16 and I managed to solve it,now I have to rebuild my body,again.Took me 6 years and maybe another year to make my dreams happen.It might sound harsh,but six years are better than never when you really want to get it right,the sooner you start the better.I have learned that getting sad and complaining will not solve my problems,that is why you must get it right.Hope you,will get it right some day and be the way you want to be.I hope only for the best for you.Never get discouraged and do not listen to the people that want to drag you down.

Very personal experience :)
