As far as braces go, I would recommend them, especially now. They have gotten to be much more efficient than in previous years, even in the last few years. The ones they can use(and do in the US) are almost invisible, and from what I hear quite painless. From personal experience, I'm very glad I got braces, it ended up making me much more attractive. How bout that? Hooray for medical insurance, boo to your national health service.
