Braces help?!


Question:

Braces help?

Hi I am 16 years old and have been told by the orthodontist that I need braces where elestic bands will attach my upper teeth to my lower teeth. I am very worried as I am a teenager now and I am scared I will be taken the mick of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thankyou p.s They will be connected from the top of my teeth to the bottom all the way round. Also, if anyone has any pictures to show me how this might look it would be very appreciated.

Hi Princess T. I had braces between the ages of 12 and 14. I am sure this will not happen to you, but I had to have a 2nd lot of braces put on. I had the option to do it when I was 16, but I didn't. I really wish I had. I finally decided to go for the 2nd lot when I was nearly 18 and didn't have them taken off 'till I was 22! Not a good age to have them!! Go for it girl, if people are that 'sad' to take the mickey then that's up to them, but you will be the one with the beautiful teeth at the end of the day. Don't be ashamed, hold your head up and be proud. Do it now rather than later - it will all be over before you know it. Talk to your friends about it, the good ones will understand and support you. You'll actually be surprised about how many people don't even notice. You really must just go for it though, don't put it off - take my advice on that. Good luck, I know it is not easy, but stick with it and you'll be really pleased with the result. Keep smiling, be proud of that metal girl!!
