Reply:Well, the problem is that when you correct the 2 or 3 teeth that are crooked that makes the other teeth have to be shifted too to make room to straighten them. My guess is that you probably could get by without braces but as you get older your teeth will get worse, not better, and soon your bite will be all off and that can cause any number of problems.


It would be best for you to get braces ASAP, get it over with and then you'll be set and won't have to wear them when you're 30 when it will take much longer to straighten them.


Good luck.
Reply:It depends. If there in the frount you may need a few brackets.
