Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. The decision of getting braces depends upon the mal allignment of your teeth. You have not specified your age.
After eruption of all of your permanent second molars, if there is still irregularity in teeth or crowding, I suggest you to visit an orthodontist. After checking your dentition and doing some x-rays only, he will be able to advice whether to go for braces or not.
Braces are worth their cost as they help in improving aesthetics and more important the functionality of teeth. If orthodontist suggest braces, go for them.
Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
