Have you had buck teeth then got braces? I've been made fun of and now have braces?

i have buck teeth and have been made fun of. I finally and recently got braces and I wonder if my teeth look better. I never smile with teeth and cover my mouth. I just want to know if it will get better?

I had the same thing. Almost as soon as I got braces, I had more confidence. Just knowing I had braces on to fix it boost my self esteem. Keep up with the appts and use additional bands or headgear as your Ortho says. And in a short time, when you get them off, you'll see straighter teeth. Good luck!=)
Reply:If you go to all of your appointments on time and do exactly what your orthodontist tells you concerning your treatment, your teeth should turn out fine. You usually won't see results over night, braces can take years to do their job, but you will slowly start to see results as time goes on. So just go on and smile, don't hold back.
Reply:It is worth it definately in the long run.





You are lucky enough to be able to have them, so look at this as a short term inconvienence to a long term issue that is now being fixed.





You will forget they are there by the end of it, just stay natural because you might be drawing more attention to them by being so self-conscious.





Good Luck and I hope you are happy with the result!!
Reply:I had buck teeth and had to get braces too. Just know that it will get better! It will take time and patience but you will get there! You will have beautiful, straight teeth when you are done. Just remember to follow your ortho's general care instructions both while you have your braces on and after you get them off! Good luck!
