How to fix teeth?

One of the best things I have done in my life until now was fixing my teeth. Stop overthinking, go put some braces on, and after you're done with them, do a good cleaning and start taking good care of them. No secret at all

Teeth normally darken/yellow with age but whitening toothpaste can help a little. Otherwise, there are options available at the dentist but I wouldn't say any would be worth it.

Go to an orthodontist to fix the crookedness.

I got braces at 23 and had them for two years. I got the clear ones so they would look more professional in public. Never had a problem, still got plenty of girls and they never really brought up the fact. On the whiteness you can just ask your dentist/orthodontist for a whitening or a good cleaning. Just ask them your options. Simple stuff but definitely get it done now, you should be improving your looks as much as possible. Best of luck!

A couple years of braces is well worth the panty wetting effect good teeth has on girls.

Edit: You don't have to actually use teeth whitener just get Crest White toothpaste and your teeth will be pearly white in a week.

Two cheap things to try is:

hydrogen peroxide (in any supermarket) and just swish it, then rinse
activated charcoal, powder, brush your teeth with it, your mouth is gonna look like a coal mine

You can try both together. Best time would be in the morning before breakfast and after you brushed the previous night, so your teeth are at their strongest in terms of mineralization. Take a before picture and after 2 weeks on, in the same lighting with same camera.

One thing to note is hydrogen peroxide degrades in strength within a year, so if you have so old shit sitting around, it's probably worthless. In the supermarket is 3% grade and the dentist uses around 35% in their whitening treatments.

Whether you get results or not, after 2 weeks, discontinue the peroxide. It seems safe, but the long term results on enamel are not known. Only for periodical touchups after that.

Activated Charcoal is one of the strongest adsorbers I know. You won't need to buy more than a few ounces. I don't think there is any long term concerns but after a few treatments it should be done because of the way it works (it pulls stains out, it's not there to buff them out). So there is no point to continue after week 2.

I wouldn't use baking soda or baking soda toothpastes because that actually grinds down your enamel over time.

HiSmile or those teeth whitening strips work wonders. And get braces if you can.
