Between the ages of 11 and 14, I went through the growing pains of wearing braces on my teeth. Although I was eager to get them on my teeth at first, after a year of wearing them I couldn’t wait to get them off to see the positive results. Getting braces is a very smart investment because it not only gives you a beautiful smile, but also enhances your entire physical appearance and helps boosts your self-esteem.
During those early teenage years most males and females are struggling with trying to determine who they are and to be accepted by their peers. Physical disparities like crooked and misaligned teeth can make young teens insecure about their smiles and ultimately their entire physical appearance.
Overall, the orthodontist can improve your appearance with braces, which can have a positive psychological impact on you. This will improve your self-esteem, confidence, and social involvement.
