I need them too, one of these days I need to get it done. Might as well use the $1,000 I have in orthodontic insurance while I still have it.

Me too. My top-right lateral incisor is a bit out of whack, probably just need a brachet for it. I hate it. I think it ruins my smile. Most other people say it gives my smile "character". BS. It's freaky.
 
Do braces just make your teeth look nice or are they good for your dental health?

I'm asking because a few of my bottom front teeth are slightly crowded but I don't see the point in spending all that money if all it's gonna do is make my teeth look nicer, which not too many people will notice since they're the bottom teeth.
 
HAHA!

I had braces for almost 5 years. But the thing is, I stopped wearing my retainers too early and one of my teeth is now crooked. 😱 What a waste of 5 years of pain and misery, as well as my parents money. 😛

Oh well, it was still a lot worse before. My two front teeth were crooked.
 
I just realized this is like having vampire teeth in (fake ones). It's really annoying and I feel like slipping them out, but I can't.
