When to get braces?

Answer 1

There are many ways to tell if you need braces. First of all there are different types of "bites" you could have The most common is the over, when your front teeth protrude too far. Second is an underbite, which is when your bottom teeth cover your top teeth. Third is called an open bite which occurs when you have space between you bottom and top teeth when you smile. The most common reason for one to need braces is if they have excess spacing between their teeth. Another reason is if your teeth are "misaligned". Your teeth are "misaligned" when the space between your top teeth is not perfectly aligned with the space of your bottom teeth. One of the last reasons is when your teeth are crowed, which simply means you don't have enough room in your mouth for your teeth! This is fixed one of two ways, braces or getting your teeth pulled most likely followed by braces.

Answer 2

you need braces when your teeth are crooked if you have an overbite like me which means your top teeth stick out farther than your bottom teeth, an underbite whitch is the opposite of an overbite and sometimes if there are spaces between you teeth. but braces are not that bad don't worry if you have to get them

Answer 3

It all depends, everybody is different. Lots of people have braces at different ages. You can basically have braces put on once you have lost all your baby teeth. The younger (teens) you are the better as the teeth move a lot easier.

Answer 4

You could ultimately get them any time, so long as all your teeth are grown in. If an 8 year old has all his adult teeth, then he can. In contrast, if a 20 year old still has more baby teeth than adult teeth, it's not a good idea.

Answer 5

You usually know when you need braces if you have a noticeable overbite, if your front teeth touch your lips when naturally closing your mouth, or if your orthodontist says you need braces.
