Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

i have a few crooked teeth which are really noticeable
when i was 15 i went to get my braces so i waited in the room for an hour and when he called me in looked at my teeth and said Im not allowed braces,
i am now 19 and still have no straight teeth
i just want to know why i didnt get any, my brother and sister got theres just not me

i have a crossbite which i've heard isnt that hard to fix
and yet my dentist says the only way to straighten my teeth is to break my jaw and pull it back
my teeth are mostly overbite just the bottom 4 of my teeth's are underbite

I think only your dentist or orthodontist could answer that question. You may consider getting a second-opinion about it from an orthodontist or a cosmetic dentist. They should be able to tell you what other options there are.
