Braces
I have many insecurities. Some you would never know because I try my hardest to hide them, but others are too strong for me to cover. One that I'm quite fussy with is my teeth. My overgrown fangs that nearly lunge out when I look in the mirror. I hate to have my eye teeth removed when I was eight because my dentist told me it was blocking the teeth next to them from growing back in. I was fine with this but I didn't realize that at the age of 13 they would start to grow back and I would begin to look like "The Count" off of sesame street. Its kind of ironic how I got them removed so my inside teeth could have space because when my eye teeth started to come back the inside ones were now crowding them. Now I am told that I need braces but I am afraid that if I get my braces with they just create more insecurity? Yes I would have straight teeth for the rest of my life but I don't know if I would be happy leading up to that. Any comments or suggestions?

I never used to smile because I had two fangs. but then when i started working I decided that I wanted to have my teeth fixed. So they pulled teeth down and i had surgerys done as well. it was brutal stuff, but i felt I needed to have it done. I still have work that could be doen, like building up two small teeth. but it isn't a priority anymore. I smile now and am not scared to.
I had to do it for myself and am glad i did.

oh man i used to hate my teeth. It's soooooo worth it. Do you ever see yourself making fun or looking down on people who DO have braces? Think about it. lol
My teeth used to be a mess, one of my front teeth overlapped the other one. I used to hate to smile. I wore braces for a year and a half, I didn't like smiling with braces either, but looking back it was a short period of my life and I am glad I had the opportunity to do it.
i totally feel for you. i had braces for 3 friggin years. including the beginning of high school. its not so bad, it kinda hurts, but i never had anyone make fun of me. your going to be fine, lots of people have had them
