Firstly, Shane MacGowan is Irish and not from the UK. Secondly, the state of his teeth are unconnected with his Nationality. Thirdly, unless you've modeled yourself on Shane then I have never known a single person who fits the American stereotype.

I know. I've already been operated when I was 4 years. I'm gonna need another operation before I'm 18.
 
Even if you did need braces, getting them is much better than not. You will have better teeth for the rest of your life (in most cases) for the sake of a year or two with braces.

I had braces when I was about 13 because my bottom lip was pushing out my incisors, if nothing was done about it I would of been one goofy mofo right about now but I had a brace to pull them back in and trained myself to make sure my bottom lip rested ontop of my front teeth and not behind, so it wouldnt happen again. I also had to have two back teeth removed to make room for the entire top set of teeth to move back into. It sounds major but it wasnt at all. Now I have perfek teef. Im 26 and never had a filling either :D

BTW I dont think you will need braces from looking at your pic. But as people have pointed out its not really a good way determine something like this.
 
Holy computers, batman!

I just looked at my eyes on the pic, and noticed that my right eye is completely inactive. I was in for a check for this a month, and found out my left eye is for longdistance viewing, and right for short distance viewing, and that the right one completely goes to sleep when I'm tired.:D

I had glasses when I was 4 years, but I never had trouble seeing.:)

I just stink at catching balls. Once I saw a ball coming at me, and jumped to catch it, I viewed it with the "crooked" eye, and landed on the ground more than 4 feet away from where the ball had passed me...:p
 
Does anyone think I need braces?

Haven't been to an orthodontist in over 4 years so I wouldn't know.

I never knew Tunbridge Wells (his birthplace) was part of Ireland. :)

Sorry to chomp your gashers.

Perhaps I should have said from the UK. Or would that be escaping pedantry by the skin of my teeth?

I'll leave this nailbiter for now, I'm sure you're fedup to the backteeth of this.

Yes, it's the same man. At the height of his success. I honestly don't think you'll achieve more than he has done.

That picture will haunt me for life!!!

Don't worry about what you're going to look like while you have them, worry about what difference its going to make in the end.
Your friend looks weird right now because he just got them on. You're not used to it yet, and if his teeth are crooked then the wires are just all over the place. But it won't be like that for long. Everyone will be used to it soon, you'll think he looks weird when he gets them off, too.
Your teeth aren't really that that bad, but you might want to get braces, especially if the dentist tells you too. So you look weird for a year or two, big deal. Its better that than being upset about crooked teeth periodically for the rest of your life. If you're making a board about it, you probably need them.

It is just the usual spam bots trawling through.

Every morning you come across these resurrected posts.

A line or two (sometimes even a paragraph ;)) almost relevant to the original post and then two links to a service or scam scheme.

A pattern as sure as the sun rising… and yet people still fall for them.
