Girls: Are retainers attractive on guys? Don't Care? Or Unattractive.?

Question

I got my braces offf and now have a retainer. From a girls perspective do they look good or bad on guys?

Answer 1

It depends on the person.

Like if the guy is a shy kind of guy than it may look kind of nerdy for him.

But I truly never thought any less guy a being attractive just because of their retainer. In the end you will have a beautiful smile.

Good luck, Jennifer

Answer 2

in my opinion if its clear it looks perfectly fine. and you also look smart because my ex- step brother had  to get his braces put back on for another year or so because he didnt wear his retainer.

Answer 3

I don't really care.

Answer 4

they aren't the most attractive thing, but i wouldnt mind if i guy wore one. it shows that he cares about having a great smile for the rest of his life, not to mention he isnt wasting his parents money, haha. im sure it looks fine :]

Answer 5

dont care.

well everyone around my age has/had braces (12-15)

so i got pretty used to them

but this senior had braces and that was pretty d**n gross.

retainers make people talk funny; so wear them the moment you get home & during sleep

that's what my sister does

Answer 6

I don't care as long as your teeth are straight it's cool

Answer 7

It actually depends to your physical appearance,

Some guys are ugly in their braces but some are not.

It depends how you handle yourself with braces or retainer.

Answer 8

I would say that it doesn't really matter.

Every girl's opinion is different.

A girl should like you for who you are.

Whether you have had braces or not, it shouldn't matter.

Answer 9

its not that bad ull be happy not to have to wear one now but later in life ud be angry u didnt wear um so its not that bad i like them alot

Answer 10

The look of the retainer is not a big deal, better than braces.  It's the potential bad breath and taking the retainer in and out to eat etc... that gets gross.   Always carry breath mints or gum.  Hide the ugly plastic retainer case and do not leave your retainer out where other people, especially girls, can see it.  

    

Answer 11

depends on how the guy looks and looks with them. some guys when i was younger looked hot with one.

Answer 12

At my high school no one would care bc 50% of people have them:/

Answer 13

I love retainers on guys, i dont know why but its pretty hot in my opinion.

Answer 14

Theres nothing bad about having a retainers, as long as you dont spit on people. You are gunna have nice straight teeth, so whats the big deal.

Answer 15

I have a retainer, and i'm girl.

But, mine is clear and i take it out during school, so i would say that it's unattractive to have one with the wire along your teeth.

Answer 16

DC, and I can't see why it would matter. It's not permanent, so any girl that would have a problem with it would be a psycho.

Answer 17

Really braces and retainers aren't generally considered attractive, but I think that depends on location and age group as well.  If you are at an age and live in a place where most people get braces and then retainers, then most girls will be used to the look and it won't be an issue.  

Answer 18

you cant really see retainers honny, i would say it would be fine to have one.

Answer 19

Absolutely honestly could care less.

Plus if your braces are off you probably have pretty teeth =D

Answer 20

uhmmmm....theyre better off not. but better than braces. so just dont wear it when you actally planning on hooking up. im sure most people wont notice.  

Answer 21

Very cute.

Answer 22

If the guy have a retainer, then that means he has straight teeth, which is a turn-on.  So it wouldn't really bother me.  You don't really see retainers that much anyway.  Just make sure you keep it clean.  A dirty retainer is a turn-off!

Answer 23

I had braces too and I mean who wants to wear a retainer they are annoying. However, a retainer is better than messed up teeth and  I dont realy think that it matters wether you have one or not!  

Answer 24

Not much different than braces. Maybe better than braces, but better without. At least at some point you'll only have to wear it at night.  

Answer 25

Um it really doesnt matter even braces dont matter at my school cuz 90% of my school have them. So retainers are fine

Answer 26

I just got my braces off too, My top retainer looks like the invisiline stuff, so you can't tell I'm even wearing one. I honestly wouldn't care if a guy had a retainer even if I could see it. It isn't attractive or unattractive.  

Answer 27

I don't really care as long ask you don't have food stuck in there.

Answer 28

umm...kinda bad, but if ur sweet, and the rest of you looks cute then your fine. but it also kinda depends on how long ur gonna have the retainer on,lol

Answer 29

I don't really care....you know what, if there's something about the guy, I just won't notice. But generally, I don't find them necessarily attractive nor ugly either. It's kind of like glasses, or braces. If you work it the right way, like dress nice, smell nice, do your hair nice, the retainer is just a minor thing that will come off eventually. If you feel that self conscious about it, you could always wear it at certain times only. Don't worry about it!!

Answer 30

i really dont care, just as long as his teeth are clean.

Answer 31

unnattractive! trust me. if i was at a party and i thought a guy was hot and then he smiled and had a retainer?? wow. just wear it whenever youre NOT gonna be with girls!!
