Well I'll be 18 within a month and I've been trying to get my parents to get me braces. I refused the offer when I was a lot younger but I want a second chance. My mom agreed, but my dad just comes out with excuses such as it "weakens" your teeth; he probably just doesn't want to pay the bill. I've done some research but I haven't really found cons besides the pain and inconvenience.
Oh, and I would like to add that my family is well off, so money isn't a problem...it's just my assumption that he doesn't want to pay and coming up with excuses. Anyone got some answers to win me a set of straight teeth?

they don't make your teeth weaker but they do make your teeth harder to clean therefore people tend to have more cavities and such with braces

never heard of it . but with braces u must be very religious on oral hygiene because it will be difficult at 1st to keep Ur teeth clean and if u do not keep them clean after Ur treatment is done U'll have straight teeth but mess up gum bleed, puffy, red, inflamed, reseeded gum which does not look good.
u have 2 option:
1. be extremely religious on oral hygiene every 3-4 month professional cleaning
2.get invisalign clear removable when eating and brush, floss BUT MUST WEAR IT 23 1/2 HRS ADAY NO NO NO NONO EXCEPTION

Pretty sure they don't make your teeth weaker. And, if you have straight teeth, you'll be able to floss, brush and fluoridate better, which will STRENGTHEN your teeth. You deserve a second chance. Maybe your mom should be the "messenger." Good luck! :-D

enamel flow round, even in older human beings. at the same time as many ought to imagine of the asthetics in have their enamel straightened, there are good causes, dentally, to do it to boot. it may assist reduce down on a strategies extra severe complications later, fantastically at the same time as the expertise enamel are available in. So, at the same time as it may look beauty, i imagine that braces many times have an positive purpose. As for such issues as breast enlargements - i'm with you. except for issues that are needed - burns, injuries, deformities, mark downs for women having again complications, i'm adverse to them. I comprehend there's a psychological aspect - a 32A received't experience completely like a lady, yet that is simply by societal pressures, regrettably.
