If your teeth are too close together, too far apart, or if you have an underbite or an over bite, you might be a candidate for braces, but you have to take care of the space in your mouth.

The best thing to do if you feel you would benefit from braces is to talk to your dentist. Most can evaluate the spacing of your teeth and your bite and tell you if braces will fix any problems.
