yeah but dont you have to wear retainers afterwards? Your teeth shift because they are still weak in their new positions... I had my braces on for about 3 1/2 years and going to have a retainer on for 2 more years.
Definitely worth it. I am 30 now, but had braces for 5 years when I was aged 12 to 17. I had a SEVERE overbite and had to wear headgear to make my lower jaw catch up in growth to my upper jaw.
In Conclusion, if I NEVER had braces...I would be about a 3 or 4 on the looks scale instead of the "7" I see myself today. Without braces, I would be called "bucky", would have low self esteem and would of never hooked up with any attractive women.
I know your situation was probably not as bad as mine, but TEETH and your Dental occlusion are VERY IMPORTANT in looks and facial aesthetics. I would do it over in a heartbeat, Orthdontics saved my life!!
