Search Results: opinions on braces

My family has a history of poor teeth. It runs in the family. Both of my parents had dentures, my sister had braces when she was young and had some teeth pulled. I had lots of cavities as a child, lost some teeth, and now have two bridges in my mouth.

What about you? Do you have healthy teeth, or problem teeth like mine?

Please vote in the poll and add an opinion if you wANT.

I'm missing both lateral incisors in my upper teeth - they simply never grew out. I'm attaching a picture I found on the internet (not my teeth) to give you some idea about how it looks, only I have braces on my teeth.

Would that be a dealbreaker if someone with teeth like that asked you out? My orthodontist is trying to make enough space for implants, but it will take at least a year to get it all fixed. Until then, I'm stuck with what I have now. I don't want to miss out on another whole year of my dating life, but maybe it's too much - considering my poor luck with girls lately... so should I give up, give it a rest for a year and focus on other things in the meantime? Or is it not that big of a deal? Thank you for your honest opinion.

Please comment if you have anything to say about this i'm curious to know people's opinions :
Do you think braces would make that much of an impact?
And what kind of people would most benefit from it?
