Do braces change the way you look?
Im 14 and im getting braces in a few weeks, and im really scared that they will affect the way i look. I already am not a huge fan of my looks, because i have a prominent nose and chin (and im a girl ._.) and in the middle of having braces, i will have to get a baby tooth pulled. (I get the braces for 2 years so they might pull it at the 1 year mark? Not really sure..) but i already have a bit of a small mouth, will the braces make my mouth look smaller? Im getting them because i have an overbite and my teeth have a few small gaps but in most places theyre actually too close together. I honestly dont even know why i need any braces, probably just the orthadontist making more money.

I just got braces and they make you look a little different, but not much. It hurts a great deal for the first few days or so, but after about a week they will stop. I'm eighteen and just got them, be glad you're getting them at 14! Lol. I will post a picture and you can see how different I looked myself. But, regardless, they always look a little funny at first since the brackets are a tad all over the place. I'm sure you're gorgeous, and you're going to be fine!
I also have the same issues with my teeth, and believe me, you want braces for that overbite or else eventually you could wear away the bottom teeth!
