[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pixie69: [QB] I never understood the clear braces concept...in fact I was quite bummed out when my orthodontis got blue, green, and red wires and brackets, right as I was getting my braces off [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/frown.gif[/IMG] But anyways...it depends on your orthodontis and their methods. I had a slight overbite, and my orthodontis pushed my back teeth back (thereby pushing my front teeth foward), giving me a worse overbite, until he pulled the front teeth back. He could have just pulled out four teeth, which would have changed the shape of my face [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/frown.gif[/IMG] So see, it depends on your orthodontist. But, I'd venture to say no. You'll need to have braces and you'll probably have to wear rubber bands (bands that go from the top teeth to the bottom to put your jaw in place). You can get clear braces, which are pretty inconspicuous (is that the right word?). But why not just be happy that you have braces?? [/QB][/QUOTE]
