school help: I know alot of people get a bunch of these post but I’m going to be a sophmore in high school and my dentist decides now! - Help.com

Its really not so bad. You’ll get them off soon, and at least youre not a freashman. Time will fly by! Trust me, it’s not that terrible.

When you are in college with beautiful teeth, you won’t even remember what it was like to have braces in high school. Seriously, this is a no-brainer.

Braces don’t even look that bad. I think they look cool. At least you won’t have crooked teeth forever and stuff.

I had braces part of my freshmen year, all of my sophomore year, and I’ll have them half my junior year. Seriously, listen to me when I say this, “NOBODY CARES”. It’s not like in the movies where the kid with braces is the loser. Even the most popular kids wear braces. It doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. I felt the same way and I hated my mom for not getting me mine in middle school. But don’t worry so much. Your teeth will look great and nobody will think twice about it.

try the clear ones, you can hardly see them.

Those are considerably more expensive though. :\

its not as bad as you think, they hurt like hell but a lot of people have them so people probably wont bother you over them

what about a retainer?

orr you can request invisible braces nowadays

I’m in the same situatio(SP?) anyway, the best you can do is ride it out. I t will get better.

Dont worry about what other people think. Braces are like a “it” thing at my high school. The dentist is only doing this to help you. He isnt doing this to hurt you in anyway. If you do not accept the braces down the road it could lead to more pain in your teeth and you could end up losing some. Then you will look really bad. So now if you listen to the teasing and such for a year, you may get the Woo’s and whistles at you down the road.

Nobody makes fun of braces anymore. I have two girls, both got braces in high school niether of them ever complained about being made fun of, one graduated last year the other this year and both have the braces off allready,
PS would that stupid tooth look better if it was an empty space?
get em fixed sooner rather than later.
