I am 21 years old and have crooked teeth. My top 2 front teeth are very crooked and I have been very self conciouss about them for some time now. I dont know if braces would even work because my mouth is way to crowded. Basically my front teeth are pointing inwards, and would need alot of space and probably time.
So i guess the question I am asking is; Is there a point when bracers cannot be used because the situation is to sever? And if so is there any other methods of dealing with this?
Thank you.

You said it - BRACES - If it's too crowded, the dentist will pull some to make room. The braces will pull the teeth and arrange them back in order. This may take a couple years, but damn you'll feel good. Go, don't' be afraid because a Clean, Pretty Smile is always Sexy. Good Luck

Ahh, they can always make room. They'll pull your Wisdom teeth and make room. They will pull everything straight after that. It make take a couple of years, but they can work wonders.
A word of advise, clear braces, veneers, and other cosmetic stuff isn't worth it. The clear braces have to be changed all the time and they can turn colors of you drink a lot of coffee or colas. The veneers are horrible, they grind your teeth down to stubs and put pretty looking false ones on top. They can look really unnatural, and they weaken your teeth. Losing a cap can be painful.
Get braces, and then get them professionally whitened. You'll look natural, and great.

I usually crack jokes at the dentally disabled. but i wont today, because i know your serious about your question.
The first thing you have to do is consult a dentist. but they will always give braces as the solution. and it is, but ur 21 years old and by the time they take it off you'll by like 28 or maybe in your 30's. so the best option for you to do, is to look into a dentist that specializes in extreme cases, such as yours.
i heard from a friend, who has a similar problem to yours that the best dentist in the country is somewhere in florida.
so check it out, but i warn you- it wont be cheap.
the true solution is to implant false teeth into your gums.
the same guy is the guy who did tom cruise's teeth. when he was a teenager, he had the worst set of front teeth imaginable. so check it out, im sure his offices take insurance, maybe you'll qualify. i hope i help and keep your head up.

There are very few dental problems that can't be corrected to some degree now days. The dentist many want to pull a tooth or two if crowding is really an issue, but that sounds worse than it is. Go to the dentist and have a consultation, you may be pleasantly surprised! Good luck!

Braces will work if your mouth is crowded. Orthodontists have plenty of options. I had braces when I was younger and they pulled a few molars to make room before they put the braces on. I'm not sure of any other options. I think braces are the only way to go.

You could have braces to fix this. If your mouth is not big enough to support all of your teeth then they will extract some of your teeth so when they do start to straighten out they will look perfect and you will never know that there are some teeth missing. You should do it. You will feel so much better about yourself and it will look great.

HELLO,
THE BEST THING TO DO IS SEE A DENTIST AND GET A PROFESSIONAL OPI NION AS TO WHAT MAY BE DONE.
THERE ARE SOME CASES WHICH MAY REQUIRE JAW SURGERY, BUT ONLY A PERSONAL EVALUATION BY A SPECIALIST WILL GIVE YOU AN ANSWER.
