Reply:Are you kidding? Braces are short-term, buck teeth will last forever.





I don%26#039;t know how long--probably 1 or 2 years. I%26#039;d definately do it.
Reply:Don%26#039;t think of braces as something that makes you look %26quot;bad%26quot;. You are getting something that you don%26#039;t like about yourself fixed. The braces are temporary, but that great smile will last forever.





Look into clear braces or invisalign or even lingual - where they but the brackets on the back of your teeth. They do take longer to do the job and are a little more expensive... but if they make you feel less self-conscious - then hey...





The time frame is going to be based on how much movement is involved. Do you have a lot of space between teeth? Then they will move quicker. If the teeth are crowded - it will take longer to get them in place.





Best thing to do is ask the Dentist. If you don%26#039;t know anyone who has been through orthodontic treatment - ask the dentist if you can talk to a patient who is nearly done or is complete. I%26#039;m sure this will make you feel better about your decision.





After it is over - I really don%26#039;t think you are going to say, %26quot;I am soooo mad that I wasted 18 months getting my teeth straightened... I could have just covered my mouth with my hand for the rest of my life!%26quot;. :-)





Trust me - been there....
Reply:I am a dental school student. NO you will not look %26quot;uglier%26quot; There is no specific time period to fix the problem since everyone is different. If you sucked your fingers, thumb, or tongue thrusted as a child and didn%26#039;t break the habit before the age of 4ish you can have development problems in adult teeth, resulting in open bite. If it is a skeletal problem you are already done growing and may need extractions of certain teeth,bicuspids, to help make room and allow the orthodontic treatment to move the two front teeth (called Centrals #8 %26amp; #9) into alignment. Consult your dentist and make sure all teeth are healthy and cavity free before beginning braces. Good luck.
Reply:To be honest, if your teeth are really sticking out now, braces will indeed make it look even %26#039;uglier%26#039;. But it%26#039;ll only be a few months, a year at most, till your teeth go down. Don%26#039;t care about whether it makes you uglier or not, it%26#039;s more of whether you can feel confident about yourself.





It%26#039;s totally worth it :)


Good luck!
Reply:My friend had buck teeth, and got braces. You will be fine, and NO you wont be uglier. Braces are so common that people are used to seeing them. PLUS having braces for about 2 years and you wont have buck teeth anymore. Wouldnt braces be worth it then?
