Braces

They're worth it if you have a legitimate health reason. If it's just cosmetics it's never worth it unless your teeth are downright comical. A decade later I STILL have tiny bits of dental glue stuck to my teeth that they could never get off.

>suffer 2 years and get perfect teeth

>Live rest of your life a scared bitch with fucked teeths.

I got my braces for the 2nd time yesterday. My teeth went back after the first time, this time im getting a surgery after 2 years of wearing them.

TL:DR
Stop being a bitch and get them. It,s now or never.

if you're insecure about the way your teeth or smile looks I'd say they're definitely worth it

fuck yes

every now and then I'm out at a club or bar
and a girl will randomly compliment me on my teeth

but then again, one of the biggest manwhores I know has crooked teeth so obviously girls don't really give a shit

Get invisalign, I think they cost about the same.

Yes a nice small is really important for your personal imagen, bitches love nice teeth.

My orthodontist recommended that to me. I'm looking into it, I don't believe it has any huge cost difference.

Issue is, insurance often worms its way out of Invisalign, writing it off as as purely cosmetic procedure, though I don't see why one class of braces is like that if 90% of people who get braces get it just to straighten out their teeth.

Not too insecure but every now and then I look at my teeth and I always wonder what it would be like if they were straight. They aren't fucked up by any means, but there's one in the bottom middle thats literally tucked behind another god damn tooth, it's why I smile with just my upper teeth.

Well it's a few thousand dollars, get on a payment plan if you feel like you'd only get invisalign and insurance won't pay for it.

I suppose it's something that I'll have to discuss with my orthodontist as I've heard it can vary by a couple thousand or so depending on who you go to.

So i had ceramic braces and most people didn't even recognize them on the second glance. They are worth it.

braces are 100% worth it in every way

>>18013765
I chose to have braces when I was nearly 30. Wearing them (even for 3 years) was no social problen at all, and afterwards I could finally stop hating my smile.

So to me adult orthodontia was totally, totally worth it.

Unless you teeth are fucked beyond belief, don't. Two years of hell.

I had a bad experience, so I can't recommend them.

Like this dude said, but with me (and maybe him, I don't know) that glue turned out to be a cavity that never got fixed, and I ended up with teeth that needed extracted.

Had comical teeth for a long time. Up until I turned 21 and was never able to hold down a real relationship. Also, I would never smile and be down right beta when talking to people as I would look down or away when someone was talking to me so they wont see my teeth.

I got braces at 22 and Id say I have a big ego now. I am more confident in myself and now directly look into the eyes of people to where they are the ones not making eye contact.
I also have been going out with more girls recently setting up numerous dates.

Really worth getting braces OP. You become a new person.

I had a dentist/orthodontist tell me I needed braces when I was 13 and again when I was 19. I had a large gap in my 2 front teeth when I was younger but my Wisdom teeth have pushed them together. My bottom tooth is also jutting behind another one. I still have my Wisdom teeth in when all 4 were recommended to be removed. I'm 26.

Most people smile with their top teeth anyway. Unless you're extremely self-conscious about them, and you feel like they'll impact your chances of getting a partner that you'd want, go for it I guess; be prepared to spend a lot of money, though.

In my experience, I don't think it's that relevant or needed unless your teeth are out of the Big Book of British Smiles or Kentucky's Buckiest Teeth; most "corrected" smiles are just manufactured the same, and I personally like a lady that doesn't have a "perfect" one; straightness is a plus, but if you have a little "snaggletooth" or whatever, I find it incredibly endearing. My current GF has a larger spacing between some top-row teeth that's exaggerated in a profile view but I think it's charming.

I have braces at 22
It's annoying answering when I'm getting them off but besides that it's never affected my personal life or success

>19
>Has the chance to get braces
I'm 21 and I wish I got braces back then. Now I'm going to have to start my lifelong career with braces on.

Don't give him bad advice. Braces for cosmetics is worth it if the person getting them really wants them. If someone has crooked teeth, it'll hurt their confidence (I won't go down the slippery slope, but you get the idea). Straight teeth makes people perceive you as smarter and boosts confidence (people are still under the impression that crooked teeth = dumb). An improved look is an improved mind. An Improved mind as an improved person. An Improved person is an improved life.

Get braces, OP. You won't regret it. Hell, if you're lucky no one will even see them.
