They're not ugly. They aren't gross. Guys don't go "EWW" when they see a girl with braces.
So don't worry about them. If a guy judges you because you have braces on, he's a retarded moron. Yes, both retarded AND a moron! The two of those things at the same time! Because what he'll be failing to realize is that one day you will be taking those off. It's not a permanent feature, let alone a physical one. For anyone who teases you about your braces (although I doubt anyone ever will), feel free to use the following line: "At least these are only temporary. Your ugly face, however, is permanent."
So don't worry about it. Don't be afraid to smile just because people are going to see you're wearing braces. Hiding them is actually just gonna make you look kinda awkward. There's absolutely nothing ugly about them, and if we think a girl is pretty, it won't be the braces that'll scare us away. Unless the guy is EXTREMELY narrow-minded.
And in case you're wondering, I used to have braces. :3
Haha! I guess it kinda goes both ways. I know guys who will look at a girl with braces, look at her face and body, the way she acts and dresses, and think of how much more attractive she'll be when she gets 'em off. Other guys immediately rule her out. It's a little awkward havin' a girl on your arm with metal studded teeth.
Call me shallow if you will, but me personally? I don't know if I’d approach a girl with braces or not. I guess I’d have to be put in that situation. But, I’d probably have to go with no, I wouldn’t.
braces are something that most people have at one point or another, so it's not something that a guy has never seen before. keep them clean, smile like they aren't even there, and be thankful for the gorgeous smile you'll have once you get them off :)

It's easier on everyone if she shows that she's comfortable with her braces. They will know about your braces, anyway. So smile as though they weren't there. It's easier than you think! :-)
Considering I used to have braces and have an excellent bite now, I always liked seeing a girl with braces smile. Especially if they got some color going on :) I try to make them comfortable since I like to show my teeth a lot when I smile.
Personally, braces don't bother me in the slightest. In fact I may have to get braces later on in my life. Simply make sure you keep them clean, and guys will have no reason to avoid you because of them.
And when it comes to smiling, don't let your braces prevent you from showing your happiness, nobody likes a fake smile.
If your not gonna date a girl cause she has something metal to help here look good when she is 20...then your kinda shallow
yea I think its kinda cute actually but of course, if the girl isn't cute to begin with then braces sure as hell aren't going to help her situation :/
Honey, never mind what guys think about braces.
What do you think about guys who won't like you because you wear braces?
Smile with the braces, emBRACE who you really are.
Im sure you look cute with them, so relax.
Keep them clean, its hard maintenance especially after you eat. Trust me its heaps worse if you get them when you are older.
Doesn't bother me if she's cute anyway. Even so, maybe a lips-only smile would draw attention away from the braces if you're self-conscious about it...
Some like them, some don't, and most don't care.
