I am so sick of this!?!
Question: I am so sick of this!.?
I hate my braces!
I have four giant rubber bands on each side of my teeth to fix my bite, so I can't talk right or open my mouth very far.
I brush with whitening toothpaste but my teeth are a dull, yellowy color!
I don't ever smile anymore because everyone instantly looks at all the metal & rubber on my teeth and doesn't look at ME.
Whenever I ask my mom about whitening strips or baking soda &peroxide mixes, she freaks out and says that it will damage my braces.
I know I'm not the only one going through this.
What can I do to get my confidence back.?
I'm going to have to have these things for at least 2 more years.Health Question & Answer

You would be surprised at how many people wish they had braces. I am not kidding.
I think people notice braces the same way they would notice if you got new eyeglasses. Plus, if you look awkward and holding your mouth shut, etc., you'll look awkward and make people uncomfortable. Just smile and don't worry about your braces showing.
I think braces are kind of cute -- I really do. And, just remind yourself what a beautiful smile you'll have for the rest of your life. Health Question & Answer

Only you can answer the question "what you can do to regain your confidence.?"
As for braces, I had both upper and lowers when i was younger and was also very apprehensive about having them as well as the looks i would get.... All I did was pretend they weren't there... if someone has an issue.. dont let it get to you. At least you'll be the one that ends up with straight teeth! ;)Health Question & Answer
