Question: My orthodontist said that I needed braces, but I have 5 baby teeth. ( I want braces, I don't care if they hurt?
My parents and my ortho said I need braces, but I have 5 baby teeth. I want them so bad, because I'm jelous of my all my friends's braces, and when my pretends said they wanted me to get them is when all my friends braces will be off :( I am in sixth grade and my parent want me to wait a year or so to get them because they think it's bad if you have braces with baby teeth. Is it? I really want them because I have an overbite that cover 50% of my bottom teeth, and I have such a big gap between my to front teeth I can fit my tounge through it :(
Also I am very impatient ( sorry, can't help it) and o want to get them NOW because that's ALL I think about 24/7 and I can't get it off my mind, PLZ help!!!!! Plz and thx for all comments :D

Answers:
i got braces with a lot of my baby teeth still there& my orthodontist told me it was better. so idk if its true, but braces are off now, and my teeth look perfectly fine to me.
my sister got a bunch of teeth pulled and then she had to get space keeping things so maybe it would be better to wait. im 15 and i just got braces...trust me its nothing to be jealous of. if you get them now you might need other things like an expander. just wait.
