Instead of getting braces for my teeth should I just have surgery, cost??

Well, I see a lot of people with even worse teeth then mines and after going to the denist or whatever they have great looking teeth in no time or if its really bad it heals and looks good in a few months.





Can I get this done, I have a gap and me top teeth don't seem to be even when I more my jaw from side to side.





I'm 16 and really sensitive about the way my teeth looks. My parents couldn't afford braces for a long time because of my eyes and they constantly have to buy stuff for it to keep it healthy. Now I'm almost going to graduate and I don't know if I have time to wear braces. I know people from the 8th grade now in sophmore that still have braces.





What do you think the cost would be? Do you think I should do it?

no, you are how you are, dont be so materialistic
Reply:i agree with lissa ,but i think the surgery may cost more than braces plus they have those invisible ones now
Reply:try getting braces, people will call you names like brace face and stuff but you just have to wear it for a year or so, it all worth it at the end. the coast is nothing for people that are in PCO but i think an average price is 4,000-9,000
Reply:Make your own braces. Be creative. Just get some very large rubber bands and go to it.





I've been employing do-it-yourself dentistry since I was a kid, ever since the dentist told me I'd have to live with little ridges on my bottom front teeth forever. So what did I do? I filed off those ridges with an emery board.





My friend didn't believe I'd done it and asked her dentist if that was possible and he said it would "likely cause some very serious problems" but it never did, and my teeth are much more attractive as an adult.





I don't doubt there can be some very serious consequences to DIY dentistry, so you know, use common sense!!! If the rubber bands are pulling at your teeth too much it probably isn't good.





Paying for unnecessary dental work is really a lot of hooha for people with too much money.
