Go straight: Get malocclusion corrected. Crooked teeth harder to care for, show more wear and tear. Braces may be expensive, but less costly than patch-and-pull dentistry and treatment of gum disease.

Several things: Establish good dietary and exercise habits.Maintain preventative health such as immunizations, dental care etc. And above all , practice responsible behavior, including areas of sexuality, substance abuse/use and personal relationships.

Healthy Lifestyle: Keeping healthy as a teen is vital for growth and development into and after adulthood. Start with a well-balanced diet, exercise at least 5 days per week (60min per day if you can), and aim for around 9 hours of sleep per night. Your pediatrician will be a great resource for how to have a healthy lifestyle.
