    Mine are making me feel really uncomfortable and i feel like everyone can see them, when i know they cant cuz they are bottom teeth, oh well.

    Don't know, my two top front teeth are wonky & no ones ever mentioned it.

    I don't imagine that anyone's teeth are perfectly aligned, so I wouldn't worry. My teeth are pretty much fine at the top but a bit different at the bottom. You can't actually see that they are, I can only feel with my finger or tongue.

    I had a brace years ago and everything was fine until my wisdom teeth came through and pushed two of my teeth out of line on my bottom jaw. It wasn't really that noticable but it really bothered me so i had more teeth taken out and now have a brace pushing everything back.My teeth have gone back in line now and i'll probably have my brace off in a couple of months.
    If its bothering you speak to your dentist and they will probably refer you to an orthodontist who will talk you through whether its worth doing and ask you how much its bothering you. If its just the few bottom teeth that are bothering you and you have to have a brace on the bottom, don't worry about it as you can't see it at all.

    It sounds like your teeth have moved which is likely as you are still young. Just speak to your dentist next time you go or make an appointment and they will refer you to an orthodontist who will sort you out. :)

    are you not young for wisdom teeth?

    if its bothering you that much go to a dentist they will be able to tell you whats up.
