I have a beautiful face but my teeth are very crooked? HELP?

Posted on May 22, 2011

I am 11 years old but a lot of boys tell me I am ugly. Except for 2 of them, who say I am cute and have an awesome personality. Here are the things wrong with me, please telll me how to fix. Also don't say I shouldn't be worrying about it, because when I am/feel ugly I am stressed.

-Crooked teeth. My teeth are pearly white, but my two front teeth are different lengths, I have two baby teeth sticking out on either side of my two front teeth, my molars are missing (just lost them). And on the bottom they are just plain old crooked.

-I have minor acne but I get stressed a lot so I breakout. When I am not stressed and I am enjoying myself, I forget to wash my face.

-My hair is VERY VERY VERY VERY frizzy and wavy! I use anti-frizz shampoo, but it doesn't work that well. It is curly underneath and straight on the top layer.

-I have hairy hands, feet, legs, and arms. I use Nair on it but that isn't enough.

HELP HELP HELP HELP PLEASE!

Are My Teeth/Smile Okay?

Posted on May 14, 2011

I was smiling regularly in this picture, and my sister made me laugh. I thought it showed off my teeth pretty well for this question, so here it is.

Laughing smile:http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx288/KeepItClosed/Picture0211.jpg

Regular smile:http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx288/KeepItClosed/Picture0185.jpg

Closed mouth: http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/xx288/KeepItClosed/Picture0184.jpg

Anyway, one of my questions is: Are my teeth okay? 'Cause they're sorta yellow, and at the bottom, they aren't straight. Some are up, some are down, my two front teeth are longer than the others. I'm embarrassed to smile in front of people because I don't really like my smile and my teeth are rigid and yellow.

No, I'm not fishing for compliments. This is a sincere question being asked by a young girl with confidence issues.
I also, feel like my smile looks fake even though it's sincere.

I need help with my teeth/smile?
I need help with my teeth/smile?
I dont like to smile because my teeth are not nice. I have a huge overbite which makes my entire top part cover the bottom. I want to get braces for that. But I also have a problem with the way my teeth are shaped. I have long two front teeth and the teeth next to them are very pointy. I want a squarish uniform style, not a pointy/overbity/non-uniform ugly smile. What should I do? Please I want to fix it. Im 18 and Im looking to get braces but what about the other stuff? And if you recommend to do dental procedures, include the cost..Thankyou...

Pretty girl. Crooked teeth… How important are perfect teeth?

Posted on May 12, 2011

I've always had an issue with my crooked tooth. It's the one on my right, next to my two front teeth. It doesn't stick out of my mouth, but it lies on top of my other teeth. My teeth are clean and white and I take good care of them (never even had a cavity), but I've always been self-conscious to smile big in front of people and in pictures... and in front of guys.

Braces are too expensive for us right now. So I'd just like to know if lots of guys are shallow enough to disregard a pretty girl because of her teeth?

I want my teeth to be perfect but torn between my own decision?

Posted on May 11, 2011

My two front teeth are a little opposite directions from each other. Invisalign would be perfect but I got too emotionally attach to my teeth that I think it's unique to keep it the way they are. But at the same time, I want my teeth to be perfect.

I'm torn between having a perfect teeth to make me feel better about how it look but I have this other feeling that I'll lose a part of me when I fix my teeth.

What's wrong with me? why is it so hard to make a decision? Should I keep my teeth the same as it is imperfect or make it perfect?

My terrible teeth are downing my confidence?

Posted on May 5, 2011

Hello! Firstly, just want to say thanks for reading this! This is something that is a big problem and is eating into my life.

I am a 15year old girl and I have seriously bad front teeth. The rest of my teeth are straight as pins it is just my two front teeth have a massive gap and stick out! And when I say stick out I mean they stick out like 5 millimeters or something.

Anyway, I am getting braces in febuary but for the time being, my teeth are causing me to feel ugly but most of all scared of approaching/meeting people because I worry all they can see when they see me is my terrible teeth. :( I am going somewhere in a few weeks where I will be meeting a lot of new people and I am so scared. :(

So basically, my question is: How can I stop my bad teeth from making me unlike my usual confident, friendly self? And also, what do you think when you see someone with bad teeth?

Thank you so much for your time. x

does this sound stalkerish?

On Friday, October 16, 2009, I developed the biggest crush I’ve ever had for someone, on a boy I know nothing about. I had myself convinced that he liked me too. It absolutely made my day every time he said “hi” to me. Whenever I passed him in the hall my heart started pounding, and I got butterflies. I tried to slip out a “hi” without sounding overly enthusiastic. I went out of my way to walk by Mr. Worthen’s room in N hall, which is where he sat at lunch, hoping he might notice me. On Tuesday, January 5, 2010, I saw him holding hands with a girl. My jaw dropped, my heart broke, my stomach sank, and I tried the hardest I ever have to hold back the tears welling up in my eyes. However, they didn’t leave me enough time to get over him, because they broke up a week later.
Everyone knew I liked him, everyone except for him. Eventually, the word got around to him. What I believed to be the best day of my life was the day that he gave me his phone number and told me to call him. I tried to call him a few times, but he didn’t answer, and then claimed that he was busy. Then I realized that I wasted almost my whole freshman year liking a complete and total stranger. I realized that if I would’ve told him I liked him from the beginning, instead of waiting six months, I would’ve discovered sooner that I had no interest in this boy who made me fanatical. I would’ve known sooner that he always would’ve blown me off, and that he wasn’t worth the time and energy I put into pursuing him. I could’ve saved myself a lot of tears and embarrassment too.
However, he provided me with six of the happiest months of my life. I never got tired of scribbling Missy + Matt in my notebook. In my opinion, the very best feeling in the world is those butterflies that make you feel like you’re going to vomit, faint, and fly all at the same time. Every time I saw his smile with the prominent gap in between his two front teeth and rectangular-framed black glasses, on his precisely chiseled face, I couldn’t help myself from smiling a huge, incredibly dorky smile. It was a smile that probably made him wonder if there was something wrong with me.
I often wonder why I loved a complete stranger for six months. There had to be a reason, a piece of the puzzle that will create the bigger picture. Maybe I’m over analyzing the whole situation, but I know it will all make sense in the end. I’m sure he had no intention at all to hurt me. There are a lot of things he doesn’t know. I’m sure he didn’t know what a big part of my life he was, when I was probably such a miniscule part of his. He’ll never know that I memorized the date that I started liking him. He’ll never know that he made the most outgoing girl, who isn’t afraid to talk to anybody, tongue-tied and shy. He’ll never know that he was the biggest crush I’ve ever had, and a huge part of my freshman year. He’ll never know that I will never, ever forget him, and in five years he will have no recollection of me. Oh, if he only knew...

and no its not from a book, i wrote it for english class:)

I want my teeth whitening but i have veneers, please help.?

My two front teeth have veneers and i want a whitening what do i have to do?

I got too much fluoride treatment as a baby, now my teeth are blotchy?

Posted on April 30, 2011

I got that fluoride treatment you get as a baby but my mom wasn't exact with it now I've had blotchy spots on my teeth ever since even though I ahve my adult teeth. The main problem is my two front teeth. I hate my teeth, they aren't straight enough but I figure if i can't get braces then at least whiten them i guess. If I used one of those at home whitening kits like from crest or rembrandt would they work or make my teeth more blotchy? Any suggestions? A trip to the dentist isn't an option now.
