Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:55 pm: I wouldn't think so, unless your teeth are, like, terrible. I have a 3mm overbite and a rotated tooth, but they said I didn't need braces because my rotated tooth was fixing itself, and the overbite isn't really that much of a problem. It's really kinda up to you, I'd think, but I wouldn't wanna go through all that pain just so my smile could be perfect. Sometimes the beauty is in the flaws. ^_^

LiLBoYCrAzYBaBe09 answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 12:11 pm: Yes they are. Pain only lasts about 2 days after you get them on and you eat soft foods, but its worth it. The only other time it hurts is when the get it tightened but thats not that bad either. I cant wait to see my straight teeth when I get mine off in the spring. Its totally worth it!! Hope I helped!!

Karen answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 11:47 am: Yep, braces are definitely worth it. Once you get your braces, its only gonna hurt for the first few appointments because your orthodontist tightens the wires and your teeth move and causes a little bit of pain. I only had my braces on for a year and a half and now I juts have to wear my retainer to bed until January of 2005. Hope I helped and if you have any other questions regarding to braces, feel free to drop them in my inbox and I'll be glad to answer them :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
