There are plenty of reasons to get braces, the most important is that treatment is faster and more predictable when completed on a young and growing patient. Other factors include everyone you know has braces at your age so it's easier to be one of the crowd rather than dealing with it when you are older; your teeth usually get more crowded with age so if you think it's minor now, things will probably worsen and when you’re young your folks pay for it - they may not be as generous when you are older!
