How to convince parents for braces?

Question

the thing is that my family has the money to afford braces, but all of my sisters need them adn also my brother, but i don't know how to say it to my parents that i want braces as now everyone has them and i want perfect teeth? can anyone give suggestions?

Answer 1

if your teeth arent straight then you need braces, if you really dont need them, then dont waste your time just cause you "want them" its not like pair of jeans

Answer 2

I suggest approaching your parents about this if you have lost all of your baby teeth and all of your adult teeth have come in, or if the current spacing is going to be a problem. With that said, be honest with your parents and let them know how you feel about your smile and that you would like to improve it. Don't make it about your sisters and your brother, be sure to emphasize that this is about you and your self-image. Your braces could be one of the best investments your parents ever make!

Like the person said above -- braces are not some fashion item like jeans, they can be quite painful at times and are a big responsibility. WEAR YOUR RETAINER.

Answer 3

Just sit them down and let them know that you are serious about wanting braces. Find some orthodontists to make appointments with. Most offer consultations for little to no fee. That way the orthodontist can evaluate and let your parents know what kind of treatment you need. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 4

just tell them you feel you need them, if your teeth are crooked getting braces will help you in the long run because crooked teeth make it even more painful when your wisdom teeth begin to come in down the road. just tell your parents youre very embarassed because of your teeth and getting braces will help with your self confidence
