Who told you that you needed them? They do make a difference, if you need them, but not that much if it's just for looks. An orthodontist would usually not tell you they were needed unless it was necessary. My opinion is that in most cases, braces on children's teeth are unecessary. My dentist told me I needed them and recommended an orthodontist, but with pratice, placing my tongue against my bottom teeth as I swallowed, my overbite went away as I became older. Later I had a dentist who explained that he was different because he did not have a deal with an orthodontist in which they referred customers to each other. He said that an orthodontist will put braces on knowing full well they are not needed because he has a Ferarri he is trying to pay off, and he will refer customers to a dentist who is also trying to pay off a Ferarri. You see a few adults wearing braces, but these are rare cases in which they are needed. I think braces are mostly a racket.
The average general dentist makes 60+/hr.
