I took the plunge and got braces put on today. Yikes!! Now I am wondering what I got myself into! The problem was that I not a snaggletooth or anything like that. Most people (and dentists) would say, 'yeah your teeth aren't perfectly straight, but it's no big deal either'. Well it turned out to be a big deal because the misalignment caused my lower teeth to wear away the backs of my front upper teeth.
So anyway, my advice using hindsight is if you have a corporate comprehensive dental plan that includes orthodontics, get yourself an appointment and get yourself checked out, even if you think you don't need it. Problems with teeth are much easier to solve before they happen and a LOT nicer if you can just plain prevent them.
