Do braces mess with your facial structure?

My teeth are kind of crooked but not to the point you can tell from afar only slightly my front teeth both top and bottom

I got all my wisdom teeth removed about a year ago and its left a gap in those spaces( adding because idk if it is relevant)

Just want to know just to know what to expect or if I should just completely go against it as I would still be okay with my teeth being crooked I'll just cope with it

It halts all maxillary and mandibular development ... essentially acting as a giant metal wire holding your palate in place. 90% of maxillary development is completed by age 12 to 13; for the most part, therefore, braces would only be noticeably counterintuitive to craniofacial development if applied before your teenage years ...
No not noticeably. Just get the braces, teeth are important. Give solution

idk if its true or not, but ive seen that having braces during puberty does something with your forward growth. Don´t know if this is true or not, but you should look into that.
