Those Braces...

Hey Girls,

So today my post isn't going to be so much about a beauty tip or review but more on something that nobody likes but alot of people have... Braces.

I personally have had braces and I know how it feels to be a metal mouth. But honestly I don't see what this hatred against braces is.

Yes you have a heap of metal in your mouth for a year or two but honestly you just have to look at your before and afters to realise they are worth it.

I personally never got bullied for having braces but I've heard some people have been. And I don't understand why. It's just an apparartis to correct something. They're much like glasses and they are awesome and trendy.

I got braces at the beginning of grade 11 and had them right up until part way through my first semester at uni. I had to have teeth removed because there wasn't enough space and I had to have all sorts of elastics during; some where I couldn't open my mouth. But in the end, after two years of being a metal mouth I can see it was definately worth it.



I'm not saying everyone should get braces. I got mine because of my huge overbite and rabbit-like teeth. My dentist said if I got hit in the face by a ball during smort it could do serious damage.

All I'm trying to say is they aren't that bad. Take it from someone who's had them, they are a pain in the butt to clean but they really do give you some pretty good results.

Don't be scared if your dentist tells you "you need them", if you end up getting them, you'll be amazed by the stunning improvement which will be apparent in your before and after shots (which I lost, hence why I have personal photos not the authodontists photos above).

SO that's my message to you girls today. They aren't anything to be scared of and it's just another accessory.

SO remember, regardless of if you have braces, glasses, red hair or green, YOU are beautiful!!!
