i see all these kids at my school who got their braces off and they look great!
i want my teeth to be that straight!
i have somewhat natrually straight teeth and the dentist said i dont have to get them, but i want them!
i want perfect straight teeth.

2. how can i convince my parents that i want them that bad?

Well, he IS a professional. If you don't need them, then you DON'T need them. Plus, it's PAINFUL to have braces. You get cuts inside your cheeks when you have them. And it takes a long time to brush.

Consider yourself very fortunate. About 99% of those wearing braces would love to have your teeth. It is not fun!. Your fangs as you call them (Cuspids) if too pointed can reshaped a little. Be happy! Tell your parents to put that 3-4 thousand dollars into a savings account. It would make a good downpayment on a car when you are 16.

If you do not need braces PLEASE don't go trying to get them. They are expensive and painful and not much fun. Your best bet is to ask your parents for an orthodontist consult and he/she will tell you if braces would help you or not. If you only have two teeth that are not straight I would just work on pushing them back with my fingers a couple of times a day to help put them in place. Braces will cost a couple of thousand dollars and you will have to go every couple of weeks for adjustments as well the pain involved etc. Do you have a couple of thousand dollars to spend on braces?? Also those ones who don't have braces any more are not really finished with their treatment as they have to wear a retainer to help keep their teeth in that shape.

if yhoor teeth are that straight then you reely dont need braces... the result may look better then people with naturally straight teeth but it hurts ALOT and not much point in goign through if yhoor teeth are pretty much straight.
ihf yhoo want braces desperatly then get someone to kick yhoo in the face
thats the only reason i got braces coz my teeth moved when that heppened.. and they moved ALOT.
my mum is a dentist and she gave me retainers when i ddnt need them so ihf yhoo know anyone who is a good frend and an orthadontist ask them
you need to kee them on from 1 yeer to 4 yeers thats what my mum told me.

You are always welcome to a second opinion, but is this a program that pays for the braces? If so many times they have to add up what is wrong with your teeth to meet a score. If your teeth are not bad enough you may not qualify. But you could always pay for them yourself. About the brushing: Many people brush many times per day, but if they keep missing the same spots, it is just as good as not brushing the spot at all. Listen if they have any pointers for problem areas. Good luck!

You DO NOT want braces.
They are extremely painful and everytime you think that the pain is over, you have to go get new wires put in.
No one has perfectly straight teeth. By the way, you won't have those fang teeth if you get braces on, they file them down. I hated my orthodontist for filing mine down.
You can't, well you're not supposed to eat, gum, hard candy, chewy candy, ice or anything like that. It really sucks.

why would you want them, I've had braces and i can relate to most everyone who has had them, they are probably happy they have them off because they hurt when they tighten them or if the wire comes off. Just ask for a retainer to straighten your teeth. cheaper and more permanent

-it depends on how bad your teeth are. i have to wear mine for 2 years.
-you need to consider all the pain that you will have to go through.dental pain is some of the worst pain.(unless your a guy)
-tell your parents that you want straight teeth,and that you would never be completely happy with your teeth if you don't get braces.
-remember that they cost $6,000!
wearing braces is sort of fun though.you can match the colors to the seasons,or anything else.
-don't get white,tan,or any other neutral colors! they make your teeth look yellow,now matter how white they really are!

Why do you want braces when you have natural good looking teeth?
Your lucky that you don't need braces because their very annoying in you mouth,hard to take off and put on,it hurts when you get it in your mouth,and biggest their EXPENSIVE!!!
I recommend not getting braces when you don't need them.

Be careful what you ask for. They are painful. Most people have to wear them for 2 years. Your dentist is a professional. And why waste the money. You may have to wait until you are an adult and finance them yourself.

If you don't need them i wouldn't waste your parents money on something you don't need. They are really expensive and a pain (trust me!) When you are older, and you think that they are bad, then get them done then. And you don't want to get braces on when everyone is getting them off. I did and it feel really weird with them.
