I have been thinking about this is for a while now.
My teeth's have always been crocked(overbite here) and I have been always conscious about it. They yellowish(especially the four lower front) and not equal sizes(some look like they are broken)
Recently I found out that my adult tooth grow under my mild tooth even though I am in my 20s. I got the millk tooth removed and the dentist said that the adult one will move into place in a about year but its still at the back of the other teeth for two years and I kept rubing it with my tongue and its driving me crazy.
He did say that I can install braces if it doesn't move into place and I just don't have the money for that. Instead I looking to get it removed altogether.
But this is not a mouth anyone would wanna kiss
It seems to be a family isue, with most of family(especially mom) and my other relatives having dental problems
Mom herself have been having teeth installed and its costing us months and months of rent
I keep thinking that this is my fault for not brushing twice a day or after every meal or whatever but I genuinely think that this is something only a dentist could have prevented.

I was looking at the mirror, at that adult tooth and thought, it would be painful for anyone who's dick I am sucking as I scrap their dick.
Despite good brushing and flossing, I had to get braces at 15 for spacing. My brother had similar but less severe spacing. You are not at any fault- you simply lost what I call the "genetic lottery".
You might be able to find a program, non-profit or dental college that can provide braces at a reduced price. I also know many of my friends as adults who had success with Invisalign (I don't know the cost).
Anyone who truly loves or cares about you will not think your teeth are a deal breaker. People's teeth are not picture perfect or blindingly white without some degree of cosmetic work.
