of the fact that you had crappy teeth now you just have teeth that hurt like hell

Oh yes, cuz I ttly want braces in my mouth that cost a lot of money, poke my mouth, hurt when they get tightened each month, get food stuck in them, increase the risk of having problems with your teeth because it's more difficult to thoroughly brush your teeth, and prevent you from eating a lot of good food, simply cuz they're a "fashion statement". No. I only have braces so that I will get straight teeth.

actually braces prevent you from having tooth problems in the future. - bracefacefromhell

They may prevent you from having problems in the future, but they also increase the risk of having problems with your teeth while you have braces because of all the stuff that builds up behind the braces. If you don't believe me, simply ask your dentist. My dentist when on for ages about all his patients who had braces and ended up having problems with their teeth because of it and had to get the braces taken off in order to get rid of these problems, then put back on again.

Agreed! Braces can look really cute, just look at this picture: http://www.goldbergortho.com/images/200x200-teenbraces.jpg Oh, and if you wear braces, you don't get bad teeth in the future. Awesome, right? I don't have braces, but I wish I had, it's pretty XD

But you will have straight teeth... the whole reason for braces.

Nobody wants braces, they just want straight teeth. No pain, No gain.

No one necessarily wants braces, but most people don't mind having to wear them. And when your younger, its cool to pick out all those cool colors. My 9 year old brother was beyond excited when he got to pick his.

quwoosh-hmm...straight teeth with a chance of problems or ugly f*cked up teeth? hmm, hard choice.

(meessa.): I don't know anyone who got braces whose teeth didn't improve...maybe in your country but in the US orthodontists know their stuff.
