Do your top teeth suppose to slightly over your bottom teeth?Do all your teeth suppose to line up together except your 2 front teeth?
When you smile do your teeth suppose to line up with each other?
I'm 14 and unsure if I need braces but I want them. Please give me any info you can.
The Rocks - Lol, my family says I have perfect teeth, my dentist once asked if I've ever had braces xD
ReplyDeleteWell, for my teeth, yeah, my top teeth goes slightly over my bottom, and I think that's the standard. If it's the other way around, then yes, it is underbite, and you'd probably have difficulty pronouncing some words.
They don't really line up (teeth are all in different shapes & sizes), but they are even and there aren't any significant gaps. My top and bottom incisors are directly over each other and everything follows that, if that's what you mean. Don't worry if your teeth aren't exactly like that. I've heard that not everybody can have teeth like that even with correction.
Just Google "perfect teeth" if you want to see what they're supposed to look like.

If you're still unsure, just ask your dentist. It's not that hard.
I don't understand. Why would you want braces? I heard it's really uncomfortable and you can't eat certain things.
Also, if it's underbite, it can be rather troublesome to fix, depending on the severity and your age. My brother has underbite and they say it's more to do with his jaw, so if we want to fix it, it may require surgery.
