I'm just getting my braces off today! When wearing lipstick make sure to not put gloss on top and to always remove extra because the makeup gets on your teeth so easily. Rock the color and have fun with your teeth correctors! :)

I am super self conscious about my teeth and then I got braces. I smile without my teeth, but longer hair and braces I think look better. I feel better with braces, honestly. I love the fact that my teeth will be straight soon... ish :)
Good luck!

Hi :) I have clear braces so I feel they look better than the metal ones because no one notices them as much. As much as we feel pain and think that we are going to have a beautiful smile at the end of the braces jouney.

Dont smile hard to much. It looks gross with braces. Just do a closed mouth smile and wear make up.

I have braces to,and when I pick out colors I usually have a reason or outfit that I pick those colors. Like when I first got mine it was summer, so I got them navy blue and aqua so they looked great with my swimsuit, which I would be wearing a lot since it was summer. Or right now I'm a cheerleader so I got our teams colors, orange and black. Or for Vaintines day I got red and pink.Try that. It could feel cool to have on red and blue on 4th of july. If nothing special is coming up, try to compliment your eyes or go with silver.

Braces aren't that bad I was super self conscious about my smile too then I got braces and even with them on I smile a lot! So my advice is just smile a lot and do your own thing!

Why would you ever get a color of braces besides silver unless you are 12 or 13...I had braces for 6 years...people don't notice braces as much as you think yet d.

I had the translucent braces on top and some people didnt even realize I had braces. They cost a little more, but in my opinion its worth it. You only should get clear bands on top so they dont look like theyre floating. Lol. I got normal metal ones on bottom so thats when I could pick different colors I wanted. Good luck!

If the braces are metal, don't get coloured bands on them. My footy team had just won the grand final when I put my braces on, and red and black bands made my teeth look all kinds of messed up, haha.
Stick to clear or white bands.
By the way, your self consciousness about your smile will disappear once your teeth start to straighten out. My teeth were so crooked before braces that I tried not to smile with my mouth open, ever. Once they started to become straight I was more confident, and now they've been taken off I smile all the time.
My only other recommendation is to steer clear of soda drinks, especially cola. It'll stain your teeth and the braces will leave white patches where the stain didn't reach once they're removed. :)

I plan to get some as an adult too soon. Don't feel self conscience about to just she the bigger picture; the outcome. Wear them proudly and when you have them removed never stop smiling. I'm happy for you. : )))(

I think red lipstick will also only draw attention to the braces. Have you thought about drawing attention to your eyes or other facial features.

I just got my braces off and you get used to the way they look! I was actually pretty self conscious about not having them for a little while! (That didn't last long haha)
