Im 14 and my bottom teeth kind of stick out do i need a brace or leave it for now?

Q. I have really straight top teeth, but my bottom ones ae not so good. There are these two teeth that kind of stick out…and I just don’t like them. I’m 14, but have lost all my baby teeth. Should I see an orthodontist to see if I need braces on the bottom, or leave it because it’s just two teeth?? Thanks 🙂

A. I would definately advise that you book an appointment at your dentist to see if they can refer to you to an orthodontist to see what treatment is best for you. You’re at the age now where orthodontics is the best treatment. A brace would push the teeth back into position, but you need to wear some form of retainer afterwards to prevent them from moving back again. Hope this makes sense and good luck.
