For men only, would you date a woman that has braces?

What do you think about adult women that have braces, do you care or not really?

I'm 29 and I've had ceramic braces for around 8 months or so now... I know that people will say that it's a good thing because it shows that the woman cares about her appearance and is trying to improve herself but wouldn't you rather find a woman who already HAS perfect teeth rather than someone who is wearing braces?

The thing is that, I do notice guys checking me out, the thing though is that they don't know that I have braces, they only see my face and body but I'm not talking or smiling so they can't tell that I have braces... I wonder if they would change their minds if I talked to them and they saw my braces....

Are most guys picky about this, or do they not care as long as the woman is attractive overall? If a woman was attractive but you noticed that she has braces, would it diminish your attraction? Or would you not care at all?

Cutegirl!
Braces are TEMPORARY- they come off you know! And when they DO come off, your teeth will be straighter than before, so whats so bad about them?

Most people probably wouldn't care that much IMO.

Sorry I know you said for men only, but I feel qualified to talk in this thread due to my job and all.

Did your dentist not talk to you about invisalign? Google it. Probably not much point now that you already have the ceramics in place (and there are limits to what can be fixed wtih invisalign)

cutegirl,

I wouldn't care. I'm not sure why you are worrying. Like the other poster said, they are temporary, and you are making an improvement to yourself. What man doesn't want a women who is trying to improve her appearance?

I think it doesnt matter at all. Hell Im sure it doesnt matter.

Maybe when it is really dark and you will be dressed in some greasy old parka jacket with a hood, then someone could think you are missing teeth or something. So avoid dressing like homeless and you will be fine.

Guys who would not date you because of braces are not the kind of people you would want to date, anyway.

Actually she should be aware of some weirdos too attracted to her, know what I mean. Braces are a bit childish afterall.

Dont worry OP, just joking, braces are really fine. Dont bang your head about it. Its nothing.

Actually I dont believe how can someone give it a second thought. Braces, who cares

Honey pot, you are worrying about nothing, I only thought teenagers were self-conscious, braces won’t turn me off at all, it’s like spectacles, I have to wear spectacles and I am not turned off by a woman who wears spectacles. Relax; I wouldn’t worry your little head about something as trivial as braces.

In a heartbeat. I think it's cute (and had them when I was 28).

Braces are sexy, IMO. Do a little pony tail and plaid skirt and penny loafers and I'm transported back to ...well, never mind

Yes, I know about invisalign, it wasn't best for my situation though. I did plenty of research beforehand etc

I know it's temporary but it does stay on for quite a long time...

I just thought some guys would mind because I personally know of at least one guy in real life who does mind...
