I'm 15 years old, and after seeing two orthodontists, they both said I have an overbite. Therefore if I wanted to, I could get braces to fix them. They both unfortunately said I could not get Invisalign. And the orthodontist my parents want to use (if I get braces) only offer the ugly metal ones. I'm not that self-conscious about my smile right now, but the overbite is noticeable. Should I go through with it?

If you don't get them now, you WILL regret it in the future! Listen to the experts and do what they suggest. They know what's best. Do it! This is such a short time in your life, but you're going to have to live with you smile for the rest of your life. Do it!

YES HONEY IT IS WORTH IT I HAD THE METAL ONES AND $4,000.00 AND 3 1/2 YRS LATER I LOVE THE RESULTS. I DIDN'T WANT IT AT FIRST BUT YOU'LL BE HAPPY WITH THE OUT COME IF YOU DO EVERYTHING THE ORTHODONTIST SAYS TO DO. I HAD AN OVERBITE TOO AND NOBODY EVEN KNOWS THAT I HAD BRACES,.. MUCH LESS THE UGLY OVERBITE.
