Im debating wether to get braces because i have an overbite?

I found out last year that i have an overbite, its back but definitly not as bad as buck teeth.


when i bite down you cant see my bottom teeth.


i really really really really DONT want to get braces. Personally i dont think i need them because i look fine as I am now and my friends say the same thing, but my parents say i have to get them. are there any other non braces options?

Why don't You get the CLEAR braces?? besides seriously braces are not thaaaaat bad..you get to pick cool colors! lol and they are TOTALLY worth it at the end..there is nothing worse than baaddddd teeth(in my opinon anyways).lol. =D =D
Reply:If you don't get braces you will wind up with problems with your mouth later on in life so yes you need the braces. Have your parents set up a consult with an orthodontist and he can explain it all to you .
Reply:Braces hold your pants up silly. Oh you must mean you want braces so you can hold your pants up over your teeth.
Reply:OMG that's an overbite???... about that...
Reply:Better to get them now rather than later when you are older...





Having that isn't a problem now but could lead to problems or discomfort later.





Grin and bare it.





Things could always be worse...=)





And besides...There is nothing wrong with improving a smile....
Reply:if your teeth arnt that bad then you can get those clear removable braces that you can actually take out. I had braces for a year and they are not that bad. Also getting braces can get rid of that overbite. You know the head gears that they tell you to wear at night? Thats what those are for. Get them I promise you wont regret it I am glad that I did my teeth are beautiful now :)
Reply:see an orthodontist and they could tell you how to go about this, you probably just need bands or a retainer which is much better then braces. there is also something called night wear. overbites arent that serious if its not intefering with the way you eat and you're happy with the way you look, thats really all that matters. good luck %26lt;3
