is getting braces worth it for me? i dont have extremely crooked teeth other than 2 and i just have very yellow teeth but ill whiten them. im also getting all of my wisdomteeth removed in the summer and i js wanna know if that will change my faceshape. idk if getting braces is worth it cause its very expensive and im scared ill look ugly with them and maybe my teeth wont even look that different after. And should i ask my orthodonist abt marpe cause i have a pretty narrow palate

your teeth look nice, definetly need whitening. i dont think braces are worth it, but depending on what your entire face shape looks like and your side profile it changes. braces could cause dished in face, or soft tissue change which would make your appearance way different and your side profile fucked. i did a bit of math too, with the only ratio i could calculate being "mouth to nose", and its near 1.41 (exact measure being 1.4073587385) which is ideal, so you shouldnt get marpe, unless you want to make your mouth a bit wider which is totally acceptable. (and then after marpe you will 100% need braces)

also, teeth being straight should be the least of your worries, just whiten them and try to focus on different areas of your face
