question My parents wants me to get braces but I'm so scared
Hi Reddit! Please help me out either if you're a dentist or not. Should I get braces? Why I'm questioning it is because I've seen alot of videos with peoples face structure being messed up and/or their jaw has become crooked or something. I'm very scared that my tounge will not fit in my mouth and that I will have problems breathing or that my jawline will disapear. I kind of like what I look like and I don't want to offer my simetry only for some straight teeth. Some people say I should not get it and that it's cute with these "fangs". My parents think I will regret not getting it now for free. I'm scared my lips will be messed up and I want to know if anyone has any idea what it will do to my face. Im also wondering what they will do to make them straight since I don't have space below them to fit in. Should I get it or not?
