Teeth (crooked or straight?)?

Growing up I had extremely crooked teeth. I had to wear braces for almost 5 years (grade 8-12). When I finally got them off, my teeth were straight. Now for some reason since time has passed about 8 years or so now, I am finding that my teeth aren't as straight as they once were and are going slightly crooked again especially at the front. They aren't straight and attractive and now I feel the same way as I used to before AND when I had braces. I am afraid to smile because I don't want people to see my ugly teeth. I can't understand why this is happening. After all the teasing I endured before and while having braces, now my teeth seem to be going crooked again. I seen some pictures of myself next to my sister who HAS braces and my teeth don't look very nice at all - I hate my teeth. Do you think that crooked teeth are ugly?

I think it's normal for your teeth to move around after you get your braces off. I would advise you to try using a retainer and then to contact your orthodontist to see if there's anything he/she can do.





As for crooked teeth being ugly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Nobody's teeth are perfectly straight, and I've seen some really beautiful people with crooked teeth. Don't let it harm your self-esteem.
Reply:It is a problem easily fixed with some investment. But nobody is perfect. That includes teeth.
Reply:No! Just cause they arent perfect doesnt mean that you are ugly and it doesnt mean that your teeth are either! Have some confidence in youself!
Reply:yes , i have braces too so i know how u feel.but braces are expensive but i like mine. i get a different color every month.
Reply:If your teeth are just a little crooked and you dont want to wear braces, you can get those invisible things. I hear they really work and no one can really see them unless they stare at your mouth all day. But having crooked teeth isnt all that bad unless there is a huge gap right up front.
Reply:the reason they did that is because you didnt wear your retainer
Reply:Don't let that stop you from having fun and smiling. I'm sure that there is a way to solve your problem. I myself have a gap in my teeth but that doesn't stop me from having fun and stuff I like to do. As long as they are white people will probably get use to it and not even notice. That's what happened to me and I'm sure it will happen to you too. Don't worry no one is perfect. You'll find something!
