oaky, So my teeth arent in the best shape. they are yellow. they are stained i brush my teeth all the time and nothing changes. But i want a prettier smile, and whiter teeth, but yet i have an overbite. i mean no dentist has ever noticed it, but i want braces.. How is a way i can get emm?
Keep in mind that having braces isn't going to make your teeth look better as far as the staining goes. In fact, having braces makes it difficult to get to your teeth to brush them in some areas. Braces sometimes cause staining.
In order to get whiter teeth, you're going to have to get whitening strips or get them bleached by your dentist. Also, getting braces doesn't make your teeth prettier. If they're not straight, it will straighten them. But braces are used to align your jaw more so. If you have an overbite, it bring your jawline out more, etc..

And brushing your teeth all the time is not going to help you get a prettier smile. You need to use crest whitestrips, or get your teeth professional whitened.
Go to the dentist & ask him if you're a candidate for braces. Seriously if you go to him and you actually need them like you're describing here, there's no way in hell he would let you leave without referring you to an orthodontist (a doctor that specializies in braces).

To whiten your teeth, brush more often with Crest; teeth whitening toothpaste. Chew sugarless teeth whitening gum, and use mouthwash. Also, floss regularly.
