I am a 20 yr. old college student and i have really crooked teeth, some cavities, and overall a bad smile. I would really like to be able to feel like all the other students and smile like them as well. I am afraid braces wont work due to having fragile teeth. I would really appreciate advice or anything you can give! Thank you!
Easy answer -- begin the process. You have to start with a clean slate (no cavities), so begin having that treatment done. If any of your teeth are fragile, it can be strengthened to allow for the ortho treatment. Orthodontic treatment often is the ideal treatment to end up with a symmetrical and beautiful smile. It is worth it...if you are wishing for that end product, begin the process ASAP. you will be excited with the outcome and enjoy it for your life.
