Braces?

[Anonymous]

I'm 17 and I still have braces because my teeth are a little problematic.

People tell me a have a beautiful smile... I sell credit cards to people at a department store and get most people to talk to me by genuinely smiling at them and often get compliments like "good thing you smile right".

Do young guys notice that I have braces? And do they care? Is it a Turn off? Do braces make a difference?

(I keep them really clean)

They're sometimes noticeable but not necessarily in a bad way. They're just another part of your overall look. If you've been getting compliments on your smile and looks, then the braces obviously aren't hurting your appearance. And of course the added bonus is that you won't go through life with a crooked mouth.

even if they did...they know that you'll have a alligned teeth to go with that smile.

I like braces, on either gender. I liked having braces. They were annoying to brush, but a friend did tell me once that my best feature was my smile.

I used to like braces to... until I got them... but then again, I know I'll have straight teeth once I'm [finally] done.
