Crooked teeth at 23

I'm 25 and I got Invisalign. When I first wore it to work, nobody could tell I was wearing it until I told them.

It's expensive but I think it's worth the money. Go for it.

It is lame but SO worth it. For the rest of your life, don't wait any longer.

I used to wear braces AND Invisalign in my teenage years.. I hated my parents for it but it has proven incredibly worth it. Straight teeth has become a natural thing for me now and it will be the same for you.. bite the bullet and invest in a good orthodontist asap dude, it will raise your confidence and smv in the long run.

Go to Thailand and get veneers, its a third of the price and they are some the world leaders in dentistry

No. People instinctively use straight, even teeth as a genetic marker. Inferior men have crooked teeth. It's not a deliberate judgement, it's instinctive.

I once met a man online. Smart guy. Engineer. Did some virtual gaming. Talked about sailing. Then we met in person and I started treating him like an idiot.

His right front incisor was turned sideways and stuck out. It made him look stupid, even though I knew better. Our friendship was never quite the same.

If you have seriously crooked teeth, they're holding you back in the fine art of love, but also academically and professionally.

Go see a cosmetic dentist. A good one. Discuss your options. My teeth are mostly straight, thanks to braces, but I do have a bit of crowding on the bottom. When I moved, I got a new dentist and he's also a cosmetic dentist. On my first visit he whitened my teeth and then took out some tools and mostly fixed my bottom teeth (or has he put it, "that's 5 years of orthodontics in 20 minutes.")

but isn't it lame for a guy at 24-25 to get braces?

No, it's exactly the same as a fat 40 yo. hitting the gym and going on a diet, you'd be surprised how many women actually do give a shit about teeth, go for it bro.

Thank you all for your comments, in any case I still have to wait a few years before being able to afford treatments like Invisalign or whatever

Definitely.

You are aware of it and it concerns you. What's more, it is something you can do something about. I've had some work on my teeth and it was, to say the least, a relief not to have it a permanent consideration any more.

I had a lazy eye throughout my youth and had surgery to correct that. It's not perfect, especially if I am pretty tired, but the difference is that I notice it rather than anyone else.

Also, I have ears that stick out a fair bit (genetic lottery winner here, eh?) that I want to sort out in the next year. For all the talk that looks don't matter... I call bullshit there. The vast majority of folks here don't have to worry anything that makes you undeniably unattractive (e.g ears that stick out, or a lazy eye affects around 3-5% of the population... each). And for any amount of short term discomfort compared to a lifetime of correct..? Make like a Nike and just do it.
