Braces are very cute- but can be uncomfortable at first.  They improve teeth very greatly, and straighten them.

Hi,\nI'm a mother in her 40's and have always hated my teeth, the two front teeth stuck out  more than the others. I could do a great bugs bunny look. Then finely I got braces and I was always the oldest person in the Orthodontist waiting room.\n\nAfter 2 years my teeth where perfectly straight and nobody noticed. Know one had ever noticed my teeth were ever sticking out in the first place.\n\nMy point is!\nyour teeth look bad to you but I bet know one else thinks so.\n\nIf you are really worried about the look of braces then go with lingual braces.\n\n Did you know  Tom Cruise had  lingual braces. He got them after he did the first Mission Impossible Movie.\n\nBelow is an article about lingual braces\nhttp://health.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=2247

There are special mouthpieces designed for people with braces. Talk to your orthodontist and they can set you up with what you need.

I don't know of any.  I paid full price for mine - $4,475.00.  It was worth the time and money.  I believe all orthodontists will work out a payment plan.  Good luck - don't put it off.

Sorry, there is no such thing as fast results when it comes to orthodontia. You're dealing with rearranging bones, not with simply taking them out. Rearranging them has to be done slowly. If your overbite is too much out of alignment for a retainer to be of help, you'll need braces. I suppose you could have the teeth completely pulled then brand new crowns or artificial teeth put in but having a full set of teeth pulled has got to be worse than the braces.\n\nThink about it--- if there were a fast way to rearrange bones, wouldn't people who broke their legs be out of their casts in a few days?  And teeth take longer than legs because you need to be able to eat and drink while your bones are being rearranged.

i'm not sure, but i do want to give you kudos for looking into lingual orthodontics!  i've been interested in how those are done for a while now!  the biggest problems with those, from what i've learned, are hygiene and discomfort with the tongue.  also the tongue can actually impeade in the movement if the movement needed is lingual.  but good luck with this!

You don't have to have a dentist's referral to go to an orthodontist.  Sometimes you'll get lucky and find one that does not charge for the initial exam.\n\nMake sure you're keeping them clean in the meantime.

You should always get a custom mouthguard from an orthodontist, so he's the best person to ask. See if he knows what's available.

I went to see an orthodontist recently for the same problem after having had braces years ago. She told me I would need braces for a while to correct the problem. Apparently in some cases a retainer won't be enough to shift teeth back into place.

Ask your dentist.  He will refer you to an orthodontist.

I had braces when I was a teenager. In college, I noticed my teeth were moving and went back and got another retainer. I wore it until I got married and didn't want to mess with it anymore...big mistake!\nTeeth move!! Recently, I was fortunate to be able to have braces again. This time, I have a permanent wire retainer on the back of my teeth, top and bottom.\n\nMany of my cousins that had braces as teenagers, have repeated the process as adults. \n\nI have 2 daughters that have had their braces off for a few years and their orthodontist keeps them wearing their retainer at night and checks their teeth every 6 months. He advises to NEVER totally abandon the retainer. From my experience, that is excellent advice!!

hey if it's straightening your teeth, then go for it. There are also other alternatives to metal braces. There are the clear brackets, and the Invisaline (i think that's how you spell it), the clear plastic things that fit over your teeth. Talk to an orthodontist, about all of your options.\nGood luck!

i think you should ask your ortho because braces are pretty unpredictable in most cases. i was only supposed to have my braces for 18 months but i ended up having them for 24 so when she said 22-24 months she may have been giving a pretty reasonable time frame. just because you think that they are pretty much in the right place doesnt mean that they really are. i thought my teeth were fine, but they werent when i got braces. basically, just check with your ortho
