Not having teeth would cause changes in your mouth which will be worse if you start with dentures at a younger age. The bones in your jaw will get weaker, the gums will shrink. The dentures will have to keep being refitted as these changes in your mouth cause the dentures to be too loose. Dentures can irritate the tissues is your mouth and cause a lot of pain. Dentures, especially the bottom dentures, can be hard to keep firmly in place. Food can get under them when you eat, they can make you sound different when you talk if they are not firmly in place.
Dentures are a pain!
Braces are a temporary discomfort, inconvenience and expense. The result is great!
Best wishes!

Trust me, the dentures are the wrong thing to do. I have dentures and I would kill to have my teeth back. Besides, alot of people are turned off by dentures. I had braces at 30 and I got alot of dates because the guys thought it was cute. It also showed that I cared enough about myself to improve my own looks. Just say no to dentures. Bad idea.

Whilst dentures would give you white, straight teeth, taking them out to clean them is definitely not attractive!
It would be better to get implants instead but either of these options would require extensive surgery that is unpleasant and painful. Braces are only temporary, and once removed you'll have lovely teeth for the rest of your life!

Foolishness is never sexy, and getting a major medical procedure done like getting your teeth pulled just in order to be sexy is incredibly foolish. At best, there are new types of braces that don't look bad. At worst, braces are temporary but getting your teeth pulled is permanent. In any case, anybody who judges your attractiveness based on whether or not you have braces is too shallow to be worth your time.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You do not I repeat DO NOT want dentures. First of all you can get your real teeth "ultra" white. Dentures are such a pain they require at LEAST 7 different trips to the dentist to have them adjusted. They are not attractive. You'll have to take them out at night. They will need to be replaced eventually. You'll have to deal with the pain of having your teeth pulled. You can't eat lots of yummy foods you can with your real teeth. And those are just SOME of the disadvantages of dentures.

i would have to say NO. Dentures usually are noticable and im sure you would probabley get tierd of hearing "can you take them out so i see what you look like without them?" So i would say go for the braces.. they make clear ones that wouldnt be noticable. Good luck!

definitely definitely not a good idea, extracting tooth or teeth would be the last option for a dentist to do if they cant save your teeth since in your case you only want it for cosmetic, there is alot of option for you to do to whiten your teeth without taking it off, another option would be a crown or veeners to make it more straight. best way to go is to consult a dentist or a cosmetic dentist regarding your matter, again pulling out your teeth is not a sexy thing to do.. lots of people spend alot of money for dental implants which cost them thousands of dollars even for just a single tooth so please dont even think of doing that.

NO!!!! The worst natural teeth are better than the best false teeth. Besides a dentist will NOT pull all your teeth out unless he deems it necessary.
Good luck. Pops

You can't be serious. No matter what you do to yourself, you will never be sexy forever. Sex appeal changes quicker than dirty underwear. Look after your natural teeth for as long as you can.
