what i used are the small rubber bands called teeth effect bands or something..i had gaps in my teeth 2...i was about 2 consider invisalign and braces but i didnt want everyone to see tht i was fixing my teeth and i thot it was a bit pricey especially because my teeth werent even tht bad...so i got the bands and in about 2 days my teeth became perfectly straight...it hurt but so do braces and invisalign..u just have to get through it and then it stops hurting..and you werent even able to tell tht i had the bands on my teeth because they were clear..braces are really obvious and invisalign is less obvious but still noticeable..neways now im really happy with my result... btw if ur going to use those bands..make sure your orthodontist glues a wire at the back of your teeth so tht ur teeth stay in one place and dont go back 2 normal... p.s im a singer (tina karol) so i know how tough it is to be infront of a camera when ur not happy with ur teeth...i was also desperate..and i really didnt want 2 get braces... but i was also really young wen i fixed them..about 12 or so..im 22 now and my teeth are still good...neways hope this helps..good luck sweetheart! =)

i would ask the dentist to put the braces on the inside of your teeth. you also won't be able to see them if they are on the inside not hurting your career.Metal braces with brackets work better than invisaline and ceramic braces. That will just shorten the hassle of cleaning them for a busy girl like yourself. But the pay off of nice straight teeth will be the ultimate satisfaction.

Your best bet is to see an orthodontist. They can provide all the information you need and they can recommend what is best for you.
Metal/clear braces are traditional and they can help shift the teeth the best. The clear ones are more of a visual so if you don't want that much attention, it would be better than metal.
Invisalign is great, but they only work for minor movements. Anything that requires major correction is not possible with invisalign.
Best bet is to see an orthodontist.

The best thing to do would be to talk to your ortha about the different options that are out there. i know from, talking to mine that invisaline takes a lot longer to get results then actual braces. the ceramic brackets are sharper and will cut your mouth up more. also if you use the clear brackets (ceramic) you will use clear bands and they stain!!! metal isn't the most attractive but they seem to get the job done. metal brackets will still cut your mouth but not as bad as the ceramic as i was told by my ortha. (ceramic are WAY more expensive then traditional also)

you can get a series of clear plastic retainers that slowly move your teeth to the shape they should be. They are nearly invisible, but it may take longer then regular braces, and might not be an option for what you need done. It shouldn't be a big deal. Other actresses have braces, like dakota fanning!

You have to be a a candidate to get invisalign. You should check with 2-3 orthodontists about your otpions and take it from there. Here is a link to compare the ceramic and traditional braces. I am getting the ceramic braces soon. Hope this helps.

I have braces right now and I have metal.
Dont get clear ones because they dont always work out and then you might need to get them even longer.
You can get invisible retainers that work well.
I am getting those.
Braces arent so bad.I've had mine for 2 years and people come up to me and they're like wow i didnt see your braces.
It actually makes some people look good.
But personally you should talk to your orthadontist/dentist and parents.
Hope this works =]]

You should get the clear braces. However you know that orthodontics can put braces on the opposite side of your teeth so that no one can tell that you wear them!!!! Check into that!!!
