Hi, Im just wondering if I could really benefit from braces or if you think that they would be good for me. Well about twelve months ago at my family dentist appointment I was told that they recommend getting braces to fix a couple of things, but at my recent appointment they didnt say anything about it. Im most likely scheduling an appointment at a local orthodontics soon but I want to get an opinion before going in. The reason I want to get braces is because I just hate how my teeth look. I have a slight overbite and some crooked and spaced out teeth. I think braces could fix it, what do you think? Thanks
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes an orthodontist will be in a better position to help you evaluate whether you need an orthodontic treatment or not. Correction of overbite along with spacing of teeth will usually require an orthodontic correction but planned properly. Once the treatment is started, completion and maintaining it well is very important. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
