retainers....
14/f
okay so my teeth are kinda straight like only a few teeth are overlapping. but i sucked my thumb till i was 12 or 13. and so they kinda stick out but not that much. and i have a lisp and an overbite.
is there anyway i can get retainers instead of braces?!?!?

Braces aren't that bad, but I can understand why you wouldn't want them. So here's the deal ... you can visit this site: www.invisalign.com
[it explains everything and why it can be better than wired retainers] its alot like a retainer and it helps a TON. and of course you can get a retainer without having braces, but to get the reatiner you'd have to speak with an orthadontist and order it so it can fit your mouth correctly and be adjusted after a few months. having a retainer will take more time to get your teeth in a more normal state, but it is possible. But seriously consider the invisalign, it works so well !
hope i helped!

The only way to know that for sure is to consult an orthodontist. You may want to do this and get the braces or retainer now, as many prefer having them when they are younger as opposed to being 18 for example. Also fixing your teeth will get rid of the overbite and make the lisp much better!
Goodluck!
