Straight teen and a good smile can make a person look more inviting and welcoming. Plus, a lot of times the rubber bands help shift the alignment and those little movements make all the more difference in facial structure.
It feels so weird when you first get them taken off. You can feel how smooth your teeth are and they might even look fake to you. But it's so worth it in the end.

I guess it might've made me look a bit older, I hated my smile with braces on because it made me look younger and awkward. It took some people a while to even notice though, so I guess it didn't change my look too much :p
It's mostly your confidence that changes, I think. I felt so much better getting them off finally.
Before my braces, my two top cuspids were WAY up high, it looked really weird. So when my braces pulled them down, my mouth looked SO much better.
Unfortunately, I've had stains from the braces ever since. Not very noticeable to anyone except me, but it sucks, haha!
Funny you should ask this. My girlfriend at the time got hers taken off & I unfortunately didn't notice.
I looked at her face more, it never bothered me that she had braces, except having to take the rubber bands off before we were going to get passionate.
Not really, most people didn't even know I had braces in the first place. This is because my lips cover my lips when I talk. So for a whole 2-3 years some people didn't even notice.
I did, however, look a lot older once they came off.

when I got my braces removed I was actually more socially accepted. I was that weird awkward kid when I was younger (you know, had a f***ed up haircut, glasses, and braces).
Not really for me because my teeth were fine in the front anyway. It was my teeth in the back that were out of whack.
