Getting overbite braces sometime in october.
Trogtor:
bullying someone for having braces is like bullying someone for wearing glasses
SWAT One:
Let alone loving childish.
SUSHI:
Glasses are super lovey... I can't imagine bullying people for wearing them ;o

Unless you have an actual functional problem or you look like loving smeagol when you smile, don't do it. If I butterfly-effected my self back in time, I would oppose the braces decision to the point of physically fighting my own mother if it were necessary.
Orthodontists prey on the vanity of parents to torture their children for money. It is not possible to be an suburban orthodontist and be a good person - they are mutually exclusive conditions.

I agree with most of this. I had braces for about 3 years and while any sort of jaw correction is actually worth the money in my experience (had an overbite and had springs for an entire year, upper and lower teeth are now practically aligned), actual braces are a shot in the dark as to whether or not they actually work, potentially even if you use a retainer, as well as being expensive as stuff. Despite having a permanent upper and lower retainer(which cost me anywhere from $100-$500[!] any time they break), my teeth have moved back into their original positions.
