I don't have a perfectly aligned teeth. Most of the people here does not care about having a perfectly aligned teeth like those of Hollywood stars. There are even singers or TV idols here in my country does not have aligned teeth. So, I though, should I have one? I went to my dentist this morning asking him for advices. He said it would be helpful for my chewing and smile if I could have one. It was expensive though. I thought of having my teeth aligned.
How about you? Have you been having dental braces? What is your idea of having one?

Your smile is the first thing that people notices. It adds confidence towards meeting new people and also its one of your best assest if you apply for a job that requires frequent customer interaction. So, for me if its needed. Yes go and have one.

Unfortunately I don't have a nice teeth either. But I'm out of the age to having the teeth aligned. My brother did it three years ago as his teeth is very untidy. To have the teeth aligned, the earlier the better. The fact is I saw more and more children having their teeth aligned here in China, like some sort of trend?

Hi chriszh22! I agree that having teeth aligned at an early age is better because the time it takes for one's teeth to be aligned is shorter since the gums are still soft. My dentist said that there is no problem with age but the time it will take to fix it when your older is a bit much longer. Thank you for responding!

it depends on you if you can bear eating with miss aligned teeth or if you feel comfortable smiling even though you don't have the perfect teeth then it is alright to not have them. It just depends on the gravity of the miss alignment of your teeth and if you can live with them

Hi gplogz123! I felt a bit uncomfortable biting hard foods. It's because my canine teeth well both of them are under. Though I can still bear it, I think I should have it fixed. Thank you for your response.

I want to get braces. My teeth aren't desperately in need of them but they will do my smile some good. I'm not sure when. I'm researching other alternatives, possibly faster ones.
I'm very happy for you, I hope you enjoy your new smile!
