They wouldn't put braces on you if they think you didn't need them. You can either go through it all now and have nice straight teeth when you're an adult or be 30 and have severe overbite or jaw/teeth problems and need them then. It's up to you :)
And of course they hurt they're realigning your teeth into the correct position.
As for confidence? Braces are
Awesome and it shouldn't matter what others think. You need them and they're only temporary. You can pick colours and everything... I've always wanted braces but apparently my teeth are fine... I've also wanted glasses too and yet nothing wrong with my eyes 😪
There is no need to be self conscious because braces are worth it. Think of them as a solution instead of a problem. Braces are there to enhance your teeth, so it's like you're under a cosmetic/beauty treatment. Own what you have, braces are not a flaw, in fact so many people such as me would love to have them. I'm insecure about my teeth gap, and I'm in a big need of braces asap.
If you didn't need them, your parents and orthodontist will let you know, as they know what is best for your teeth. Also, don't sweat it, as your is your teeth with braces are way far from looking ridiculous.
No. I had braces for 3 years along with 3 different surgeries. Trust me it's all worth it. I'm pretty sure there is a reason for it.
Take them out when they need to be. You parents probably spent thousands so you could have a good smile. A year of them looking bad is totally worth for having pretty much a whole lifetime of them looking great. So many people have them, they won't care if they make you look different. You will get used to the look and feel of them.
get um off, braces do a lot more harm than good in the long run. sure ur teeth are straight but it messes with ur skull and jaw development which is awful. They're starting to find out braces are causing skull, neck, jaw, and even back problems down the road. look into palatal expansion if ur concerned about ur smile

I had them for 3 years... Hated them the whole time. But they really were worth it. I was supposed to wear my retainer, but I slacked on it. Still, my teeth are pretty straight and I get compliments all the time
Two things:
1. Braces are cute as hell.
2. If they aren't hurting, it's time to go see the orthodontist so he can make them hurt again. If they're not hurting, they're not working.
don't take them out, thats a thousand dollar investment into a great smile. best to stay the course.
honestly you look cute. no need be self conscious :)
You should get them removed anyway if you really don't want them.
Honestly if you have braces it's probably for a good reason. Just wait it out.
If you want to sure. I personally think braces are. cute on women.
If it bothers you that much then don't make yourself suffer
You're parents did something good for you. Let them in to they are ready to come out.
They will be worth it! I didn't think my teeth were that bad and I got them and loved the outcome! The pain isn't constant, you'll get used to them eventually.
keep them they will look great in future
if they're paying, keep em
You'll be happy as an end result. Keep them on
