Ok so I think my teeth are really bad, I want to get braces but my mom keeps telling me how it will ruin my face shape and how my teeth will go back after a couple of months. Now is this true and what if I dont like how my teeth look after, do I actually need braces?

Your teeth will not "go back" after a few months if you get braces. Getting braces will definitely help with your overbite though. If you just want braces for cosmetic reasons you could always look into getting porcelain veneers. Get a consultation with your dentist and they can discuss it in more detail with you and will probably have other options as well.

Yes. You badly need orthodontic treatment.
Braces in a case like this will not only help enhance your smile, but also help achieve a better facial profile. I would strongly recommend you not to delay your treatment.

From your pictures I can notice that you have a deepbite and crowding. You definately should get an orthodontic consultation and consider getting braces. It will improve your facial profile and you will be required to wear retainers after the orthodontic treatment in completed, therefore your teeth will not move back.
