no. i don think so. i mean like, i have a friend. she has braces for like, 1 year already and she's got 12 people having a crush her. but personally, i really dont think it does matter. well it depends on the people around you. just think positive. it'll be okay.

It doesn't matter at all to me. But I have them so I guess it shouldn't. Bu think of it this way- if someone doesn't talk to you because you have braces, is that someone you really want to talk to? That's kind of weird...

I think girls are lucky, as braces aren't half bad on girls, but i cant stand seeing guys with them on its weird!

And just think to yourself its not a permanent things nd the end results will be worth it, so keep your chin up!

Id say its not a big deal. Tonnes of people have them. Its more about your self confidence than anything. Just dont kiss too hard. xoxo

They are normal and should not be a reason to feel embarrassed over.

In-fact they are a good 'Shallow weak people filters' anyone that cannot see further than a pair of bracers is truly someone we all do not want to know.

I have braces =D ...They rock !!! You're friends are right, it's no big deal. Almost everyone has them. You're not alone. Just go to the party and have fun, If you're not worried about them then why should anyone else.

Look on the bright side, you're the one who will have lovely teeth at the end of it =]

not for me no... unless you got the ones that go around the back of your head and they have cobwebs in and are rusting and live in the corner of an ancient library reading "The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar" over and over again... otherwise no!

to be honest they are noticeable and i like you are self conscious of them but i never think people won't like me because of them. it's your personality that counts not whether you have braces or not. just keep telling yourself that they will not stay on forever. be confident in yourself. the thing i've noticed is that people don't comment on my braces because they accept that's who i am temporarily, and don't want to bring up a topic i'm not comfortable with and ask why i have them or whatever. if people ask questions just either answer them or talk about something else. you are in control. just don't worry about it, you are there to have a good time not to worry whether people won't like you. enjoy the party and i'm sure everything will turn out fine.

I'm a guy, and I'm 18, and i think chicks with braces are really cute, it's not at all a turn off. If a guy is turned off by ur braces he's probably a shallow a$$hole anyways which saves u a lot of time =]

depends.. some girls look cute on braces but some girls just turn the guys off.. if you watch ugly betty you shld know..you shld post a pic of you with braces and then we can judge.. FYI, my bf thinks girls with braces look cute..

well i have them too. on lots of people they look ok and most people have them now so they are actually a new fashion. my friends want them even though they dont really need them because its the new thing. don't worry. people shouldnt care that you have braces anyway.

have fun at the part-ay!

I don't think they are ugly. I think girls will give you a harder time with them than any guy will.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
No they are not. If someone is turned off by your braces, you don't want them any way. They are just looking at the outside of you and not you. My 10 year old is getting braces soon. It's better to have straight teeth then messed up teeth. You'll be glad in the end. I know I am and I'm 43 y. old.

Take care

'Good Luck'

No, for I understand the reason behind it.

OK, they are rather ugly, but think of your gorgeous future

No way! Some guys like them. My boyfriend loves girls with braces - i used to have them but don't anymore.

Seriously their fine, hardly noticable and totally normal in this day and age.

At least your not a guy, its then that their a turn off. :)

And anyway, you cant do anything about them. Just learn to love them or forget their there. Seriously, your making a big deal over nothing. And anyway, all guys are different.

Just be yourself as much as you can and people will forget about what you look like. In all honesty nobody even notices things like braces anymore. I had them for two years and when i got them off there were about ten people in my school who i spent lesson after lesson with and they were like 'you had braces!?'

See! Nothing to worry about. :D

Good luck x
