Do braces affect your looks?

Do you feel a person having braces on their teeth has an impact on how they look.. I never thought it did I felt that the braces were there to help them and that they can still be beautiful or good looking whilst having braces.. but I am getting braces tomorrow and a guy in my school came up to me today and said I was going to look real ugly with braces.. so I don’t know if it was just me that had that opinion that braces was no problem or if I really am going to be ugly with braces..

Answer #1

Well, they affect people’s looks, yes. But I wouldn’t say it’s always a negative thing. I’d say most people look fine with braces, and wouldn’t concern myself with people who think otherwise because you’re going to have better teeth than them when you get them taken off.

Answer #2

You will not be ugly. Forget about what he said. If you need them to straighten your teeth then just do it. The time that you have them will pass and his teeth could fall out someday who knows. Be confident and don’t let anything that anyone says trouble you.

Answer #3

ok thankss

Answer #4

They will effect your looks but it doesn’t mean in a bad way. I’ve had braces a year and really it hasn’t done anything aside from make me look younger haha I rock my metal mouth ;p I’ve seen some girls who look better with braces then without. If you rock them you’ll look great with them :)

Answer #5

yea you look pretty anyway :) but I will do my best to rock the metal mouth look :) thanks

Answer #6

Oh and be glad your getting them at 15! I got mine when I was 19 haha :)

Answer #7

thank you :)

Answer #8

I have braces my friend told me they make me look younger. I think some people it just dosent suit them n they look better without. But don’t worry most people now a days get braces it’s not a big deal. And I’m sure you will look fine with braces.

Answer #9

I had them and I got the ceramic braces put on my teeth cause I was afraid of the same thing. And people didn’t know i had braces for awhile!!!!! Ask your orth for the ceramic ones they cost I think maybe $200 more then the regular ones though, but it’s very hard to tell you have them on!!!!

Answer #10

. I honestly think modern braces look attractive, and certainly do not think they make a young teen look ugly. However, if you think that they make you look ugly it will show up as a lack of confidence and make your personality seem less attractive. . You should try to remain confident about your good looks and not let yourself feel self-conscious about doing something that will, in the long run, allow you to look even better. .

I love braces lol I think they’re adorable, tons of people look amazing with them! So don’t listen to what that guy said because he’s obviously an idiot if he has nothing better to do than to go around insulting people.

Answer #16

thanks :)

Answer #17

Yeah, lot’s of folks put others down because the are insecure and it makes them feel better, but it’s false hope for them and they have to keep doing it to others too. Find a way to talk to this guy, be tactful, and make him feel bad for not being as smart as you.

Answer #18

Answer #20

Answer #21

Answer #22

That guy’s an idiot. I don’t think it has any impact on how a person looks really, unless they’re walking around with headgears, to which all I think is “that must suck”. Anyways braces are to help you and straighten your teeth an it would look even better afterwards! ignore the guy.

Answer #23

ok all try not to listen to him, thanks :)

Answer #24

i think it looks best with brunette-blonde-red hair its all good they give you a cute smile and look cool in my opinion

Answer #25

I have braces and I got more boyfriends than I did without them..
