Should I get braces now or later!?

Anonymous
So I'm 20 and I got braces when I was younger but never wore the retainer so when I went to the dentist he said that I needed braces again so I went to the orthodontist and he said that I could wait 5 months or get them now. But I am kinda sitting on the fence. He said that I will need them for the same amount of time even if I get them now so it would be an extra 5 months. Or I could wait the 5 month and have my teeth crooked for 5 more months. But if I get them now then it will make room in my mouth and straighten them up right away. And I have 100% over bite. So I have a boyfriend and I'm kinda worried he won't like me anymore. So what should I do?
