[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wtf no. This isn’t just cosmetic, if the teeth are not straightened correctly, it can lead to issues later in adult life. My DH is learning that the hard way right now and it is very costly and painful. [/quote] It actually doesn't lead to serious issues in most people. That is the standard orthodontist scare tactic to make you pay for unnecessary cosmetic dentistry. You'd need to have really really out of whack malocclusion for it to start affecting your health, like a 1 cm overjet or crossbite. Crowded front teeth and a mild overbite do not affect chewing or speech, and it's what most people on earth have in their natural state.[/quote]
