Are braces ...?

Are braces cool because I have them?

I think braces are "cool" if you feel comfortable having them. Don't be self-conscious, and don't act superior because you have them and some other people don't (they may need them but not have the $ to pay for them, and that feels bad enough without someone making you feel inferior)

What is definitely NOT COOL is neglecting to keep your mouth clean. I recommend Listerine Whitening mouthwash to use before brushing and get a Waterpik to get the gunk out. Seeing food in someone else's braces is gross! So is seeing someone else's plaque! If you don't keep your mouth clean, you can get swollen gums, discolored teeth, and that looks really bad.
