Why can't I get braces until I'm older ?

Okay so I'm 14 and my teeth are kinda messed up but not like to the point where I need a replacement . I went to the dentist the other day and I asked if I was able to get braces , they did some scans and everything and told me I couldn't until after high school due to the way my jaw is formed , is this right or am I able to get braces now ?
