Not sure where this should go

---

hey pplummm...this it totally of topic but im not really sure where this question should go so maybe if someone knows u could tell me but i know that there is a lot of girls that look in this area ladies: if you saw a guy who you thought looked pretty good then he smiled and just had these really messed up teeth would you automatically turn him down because of that if he approached you?

(sexuality maybe is where this should go) And, It would be a major turn off. Big big big turn off

a nice smile is pretty important to just about everyone. I'm sure many many girls would be freaked out.

so maybe i should just lock myself in my house?

no bro, just get braces

im 20 yrs old if i get braces now it would take at least two years to get them decently straight and i dont want to be 22 w braces i was actually thinking of just waiting till i could afford it and get dentures

i have a friend who got them your age too, trust me after 6 months no one will even notice anymore 2 years is nothing. Its nothing to be embarrassed about just think of it this way if u dont do it now you might miss out on the opportunity to meet a girl u might like but was too embarrassed to talk to because of your teeth.

i already know that i have missed out on that and im pretty sure that they are the main reason i get turned down when i do

well either way, its better to have braces now than when u are older. Imagine how embarassing it would feel to have braces when you are like 25 or something and working some office job. People will look at you like your a kid. Do it now so you dont have to worry about looking good later on.

NOOOO!! DO NOT GET DENTURES!! Are you crazy!? First off If your teeth are fine don't get them extracted!! Secondly, I worked in a dental office for a few years, you do NOT want to go through that. You will have to worry about bone lose, bone spurs and many other compliations.Serious if you are that self-conscious about your teeth, go get braces. 2 years is NOT that long. And honest I find braces kind of attractive.. I dunno about the girls here, ask them how they feel about braces.Seriously, do not put yourself through getting dentures. Its NOT worth it if your teeth are healthy.

you could get the invisoline things, those work

I was actually thinking about getting those, myself. I have a lot of crowding in the bottom (delayed getting my wisdom teeth out until I was in a lot of pain), and one of my top front teeth decided to push out a bit when I was a teen.Seems like a really good idea, and you can pop them out to eat

Thats just what I was going to say. You are nuts if you want to get your teeth pulled and have dentures. That's just plain stupid. You are willing to loose all your teeth at the expense of not wanting to have braces for a couple of years? WOW... You need to talk to a dentist. The almost always have options for monthly installments since it's not cheap.

get invisalign. they're braces but they're see through.

Exactly! Most orthodontists do monthly pmts because you're right, it's not cheap.

Makes me sad when I see people who have decayed teeth at a young age. But you have perfect healthy teeth and you want them pull?? Serious just don't do it. Braces (Or invisaline) really are your best options. In the long run if you got dentures you'd seriously kick yourself in the butt for not taking the 2 years to wear braces.

thnx yall ...i havent had wisdom teeth yet would they affect my braces if i got them, also im looking for a relationship so i can try to get over a previous relationship how do i go about that if im gonna get turned down just cause i have crooked teeth?

As for your wisedom teeth they'll take them in account and sometimes will extract a few molars if there is a lot of crowding to make room for the wisedom teeth when they come in.And if you are trying to get over another relationship, just take some time for yourself and hang out with your friends. get back to being YOU

i dont really have any friends anymore i stoped talking to them all and moved away from the town that i lived in so i could sober up they are all druggies and so was i and i had to get away from all that in order to stay clean

Well good for you for getting you life back in order and sobbering up!And this is the perfect time to make new friends. Go out and meet some new people. Not easy I know, but it's possible. Try taking up a new Hobby. My hobby is jogging (weird I know) but I find it relaxing and lets me clear my mind.Also might be a good time to get the braces if you want to straigthen your teeth. Nothing better than starting something new with a new appearance.

I had really messed up teeth, so I got braces. There are certain band colors (clear, silver) that you can get so no one really notices your braces. Braces are pretty easy to take care of, but they take time and patience (flossing is a pain in the butt). Also, they don't hurt after the second day they've been tightened (unless you have rubber bands from the top brackets to the bottom, those are also a REALLY painful pain in the butt, but are only there to correct your bite), but those first two days are a little bit painful. I doubt braces would ever be as painful as pulling all of your teeth out and getting dentures, plus, I would rather kiss a guy with braces than a guy who has fake teeth. My boyfriend had braces- I think guys with braces are kind of cute...
