almost every freshmen i know have braces its a common thing. no one would care if oyu got them either. you could try invisalign if you wanted too though. i can always thell when someone is wearing them, but they ARE less noticable than regular braces. i tihnk you would be better off having braces than crooked teeth.
maybe you should try and get contacts too. i have them and theyre awesome. i hated wearing glasses. you egt used to putting them in really quick. and if you really hate your acne, try washing your face twice a day with an acne cleanser and using toner or astringent. it help a lot.

wow same with me!I even cried the day before but it's ok because when I went to school noone made fun of me. Instead they were talking about how they wanted braces for their teeth. I was a little shocked but it's all good. No need to waste extra money for invisable braces. Just wash your face twice a day or use the cash to buy some medicine from the doctor because noone can probably tell if you have braces(I bet your thinking of trying to not open your mouth as much right?) if they're seeing so much acne so just take care of that first. and wash your face 2 times, no more then 3! I know your thinking that your face is so oily and you have to wash it more times but if you wash it so much the oil will be all gone and then your body will work hard to get it back, causing you to have even MORE oily skin which causes mroe acne. You can bring of wet naps and at recess just wipe the oil off your face. And last of all, BE NICE! I think noone made fun of me because I'm very nice and never said anything bad about people to their face so if you don't want bad karma, then do it a favour.

hunn, don't sweat it you can fix your problem without spending too much extra money. you can get invisible braces you just have to talk to your dentist about it. they are more expensive and you have to take them out when you eat, so if you dont want to take them off at school at lunch you might want to stick to regular braces. braces really arnt that bad and you can get a color that isnt so noticeable like light pink or just stick with silver.
as for the glasses.. glasses arnt that geeky these days. more people are getting them and if you get pretty ones they actually look good. you could get contacts i think they are worth it. you can get the ones that change your eye color they are really pretty like if you have brown hair you could get blue ones and if you have blondish hair get emerald green or light brown, it would look really pretty. =)
lastly the acne. ive been going through the acne part to so i know how you feel. you need to wash your face atleast 2 times a day. you should try pro activ, i havent had a chance to buy it yet but ive heard it really works.
if you have any more quesions feel free to ask!!

Um the alternative to braces is crooked teeth. Which are worse. You could get contacts instead of glasses but if you get glasses don't get those stupid black framed ones. And everyone has acne sometime, it goes away on its own eventually. It's very uncommon for freshmen to be socially graceful so just suck it up and plow through that first year.

No there are clear ones you can buy that are shaped to make your teeth straighter. If you talk to your dentist he or she will tell where to prescribe for those. And as for glasses, it is in now. People are buying glasses even when they don't need them. So if you buy the black ones that are in style now that takes care of that. And the commercials they have on tv with jessica simpson. That product works wonders for acne. I had alot of acne and when I tryed that stuff it really worked. I have the type of skin that nothing ever works but that product did for me to. So after this you should be pretty good for school.

oh dear, well have i got some advice for you :D
okay, ready?
there is nothing you can do to fix your teeth without using braces, there are these retainer like things called invisalign, you could ask your orthodontist about those.
AND another thing :D
get contacts? :]
andand i have another suggestion.
in order to get rid of all of that acne, wash your face every night, and every morning, with a facial cleanser that's for acne,
if you don't have severe acne, then i don't recommend using the an acne cleanser all the time,
it will dry out your face to the extreme, so you might want to try a gentle cleanser :)
good luckkkk!

you wont look like a geek. there's many kids with acne and glasses.. most people don't even notice braces until you point it out. you should get them because you will be happy when you have straight teeth. you would probably get them off around 10th grade or 11th.
you can ask for the invisalign if your teeth arent all over the place.
braces will help 'pull' teeth into place.. i dont think invisalign could do that..
with my first two weeks of braces... my teeth were perfectly aligned. it really helped.
and it's really cool to pick colors for the bands too.
i would have a talk with your dentist though. dont let your mom decide that you cant get the invisible ones because she said so.
your dentist knows if you should or not.

There is a invisible kind of braces called invisalign, but they tend to be alot more expensive then regular braces usually cost. But check out their site:

Having braces isn't that horrible, alot of teenagers wind up getting braces whenever they're a young teen or whenever they're a little older, so you might get yours off while alot of people are getting theirs on!
If you take a look at the site, and your mother doesn't agree with the cost and everything, then ask her if not get invisalign, then can you at least get contacts so you won't need glasses.
And as for the acne, maybe try purchasing proactiv, I hear that works really well. And if you're eating alot of greasy foods and junk food, try and keep away from it and make sure to eat more healthier types of foods and just make sure to wash your face and keep it clean.
I hope I helped.

first tell your mom how you feel. and second remember that a lot of other freshman have braces and glasses too. so you won't be the only one.
