as far as i know, braces THEMSELVES will bring the canine down, i cant think of any reason why hes waiting. Ofcourse he knows better since he's looked into ur mouth.

Well your dentist is waiting for the right moment to put your braces on so they can do there job. Your dentist must be good because they know the braces would be useless if they put them on now .

Are you going to a dentist or orthodontist. An orthodontist is one who administers braces. If you've been getting your advice from the dentist only, I'd go to an orthodontist. If you ARE seeing an orthodontist already, I'd get a second opinion.

just in case you don't get braces, you should have really good reasons why you need them now. i understand how you want your teeth to be fixed, you probably won't get them if your teeth aren't horrible. but if they are then i would count on braces. get whoever is taking you to tell the doctor to put braces on your teeth. the doctors may not listen to you but they'll listen to an adult.
