Do you find braces ugly?

Question

I am about to get braces in a couple of days and I am really worried that I will look really bad. I am in high school and really like this guy, but I don't think he will like me with braces, do you find them ugly? Would it be something that would stop you from dating someone? Should I be embarrassed for having them in grade 10? I think this might destroy my confidence. Any advise on how to stop that?

Thanks :]

Answer 1

don't let any guy make u feel ugly if you need them then u need them.

Answer 2

it depends on how the person who's wearing them looks

Answer 3

heyy, calm down! braces dont make you ugly, in fact, sometimes they make people look BETTER. my friend has braces, and, no offence to her before, but she looks WAY better with braces. and the thing about braces is, you can have them in specific colors, so maybe if you chose white they wouldnt be as noticable. also, a LOT of kids in my town have braces, and some of them are going into grade ten! nobody where i live cares about braces, so maybe if you dont make a big deal out of them, no one else will either. And, no i wouldnt stop dating because of braces. Just give them a chance! XD

Answer 4

haha, i have braces....they suck, but they are SO worth it. think about it...having 2 years of braces isnt a lot compared to a lifetime of straight, beautiful teeth!

Answer 5

honestly, braces are a lot better looking than crooked teeth

when you first get them, they'll feel and look really weird to you, but that'll pass

and you'll come out with beautiful teeth!

besides, if a guy doesn't like you cause you have BRACES, he's not worth your time anyway

Answer 6

I am getting braces soon too, and I had the same worry.

But I have come to notice that a lot of people have braces, and as long as you keep them clean with no food sticking in them, then they are actually pretty cute. If the guy you like wouldn't like you with braces than he is not worth it, you want a guy who like your looks AND your personality, not just your looks, those are the completly shallow ones. Embrace your braces, and just think, when you get them off, you will have beautiful teeth! So, don't worry, if you are confident with them on than people will see that you don't care, and they won't care either. The people who wont hang out with you anymore or dont like you anymore are just shallow, and they are not worth your time.

Answer 7

no ways. braces show you care about how you look.

crooked teeth is ugly, however some people with crooked teeth are pretty good looking.

but yeah. braces are NOT ugly.

i had em and i didn't care what people thought of them. shine people and be proud you get the chance to have braces!!

Answer 8

I never found braces to be ugly. Besides your teeth are going to look great when they are off.

Answer 9

I feel the same way. I just got mine on. I will have them on for a year. I am in the 11th grade. I will be getting them off right before senior pictures. I feel like this guy won't like me. And the first few days, i was like they are so ugly. But then i got over that. I realized there are bigger problems in the world. They did not hurt me one bit. The reason i got them on so late is cause i had to wait for my older brother to get them off. I think you would be fine. I know people who dated with braces.  So i think i should be no problem. It will be fine. Good Luck. =)

Answer 10

braces aren't ugly, if you worried get the clear ones, cost more but looks better.

braces aren't ugly, crooked teeths are

Answer 11

Personally, I think they are adorable on some girls!

My roommate in college got braces when she was 19!  And she looked absolutely beautiful!  (And got a lot of guys too!)

If a guy likes you, he should like you no matter what you look like!

Answer 12

i like braces.

if the guy is that judgemental then you shouldn't be with him anyway.
