I am a woman who had braces put on a month before turning 21. I thought I would have a problem because of the braces, and back then, they were full band braces, not the glue on type. I went to this one bar and walking past the bouncer, heard his comment "Oh she's real cute cept she has braces". I turned around, walked up to him and planted a long french kiss on the guy, backed up, looked him in the face and said "See they don't get in the way do they?" He went "Oh no, not at all" with a look of dazed happiness on his face. A woman will look at the man, not the braces. Braces are temporary and actually a woman will think that man cares enough about himself to take care of his teeth. So don't worry about it. A good woman will like you for yourself, not the braces. And good going on taking care of your teeth and getting the braces to get them straightened out. It was money well spent for me and gave me a better smile, and a much better bite. And it never hindered my sex life at all. I kissed just as good as I did without them. Let me know how your do with the braces. Take care......
