Do you find people look older/more attractive once they get their braces off?

If you had braces did you find you looked older and/or more attractive once they were off?
when others get their braces off do you find they look older/more attractive than when they had them on?

I had braces twice in my life.
2nd-3rd grade (lower teeth only) because I lost all my baby teeth at once and my regular teeth were coming in all crooked haha.
6th-7th grade a full mouth.
And yes, I felt older and more attractive with them off. I didn't pay attention to them in 2nd-3rd grade because i was so young and i didn't care.
But in 6th-7th grade I was so happy they were finally off!

I myself have never had braces. But I can definitely say that braces don't look attractive AT ALL. So obviously, women look more attractive (but not necessarily older) after their braces come off. As a straight guy, I can't talk about men but my female friends often say that they too feel that a man's attractiveness increases several notches after his braces come off.

With braces on it definitely makes a person look younger just because it's universally known to et bracers at a young (er) age.

But when they're off? No difference.

I don't know about "Older" but definitely more attractive. It's nicer to look at a clean mouth with pretty, white teeth with nothing in the way.
