    right, im getting braces soon, and bubbles has been trying to convince me on irc that braces are cute and sexy. i find it difficult to believe him and although i dont find braces unattractive myself, im just very self conscious.

    Wouldnt say they are sexy...but they wouldnt turn me off someone either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,575 ✭✭✭elivsvonchiaing


    Would have to agree with tusky here... No way would I consider sorting out my imperfect jawline, though, what's the point? (If you don't want to be a newsreader, actor, model, work for Disney) I've ruled all of these out when I was 11! (without knowing it :p )

    braces certainly not cool
    :D

    I think that if someone is already cute, then braces can make them even cuter. If they arent so hot then it makes it kinda worse. I think its more of an issue when you are younger cos any slight flaw can make you feel like a troll. Its probably worth it to have a cool smile for the rest of your life though.

    Let's be honest, the attraction of braces is that young 'uns usually wear 'em.

    Just watch out for tangles when you're, uh, down there. Ow.

    I wouldn't characterise them as sexy in or of themselves, but they wouldn't turn me on or off finding someone attractive in anyway. They're not that big a deal to me.

    Unless there's bits of food stuck in them, which is fairly manky.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    I like my braces!
    I wouldn't be put off if a fella had braces, I'd probably quite like them! As long as we didn't get stuck...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Had 'em myself for 3 years so there's no way I'd let them put me off someone and it's great when you finally get them off cos it's cool to have perfect teeth. And a beautiful smile is always sexy :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭I am MAN


    Yeah I have to get them soon, not really looking forward to it but I dont give a **** what people think about me

    dont think it would make much of a differance really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭Jim


    How long do you have them on for?
    Had mine for 2 and a half years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    I don't think braces matter - they won't make you more sexy, neither will they make you less sexy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,439 ✭✭✭ando


    you can get clear braces nowadays aswell if you want. The dentists do not like them cause their fiddly to work with, but I had them on for 14months a while back

    Although if you want them to stay like ^^^^^, you would have to be seriously keeping them clean, and defiantly watch what you eat. No Curry's... trust me

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    I've had mine now about a year and a half. I don't think I'll have them on for much longer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    I suppose it would be ok as long as long as you dont let food get caught in them. And dont get those elastic bands! If your younger than 18 none of the above matters


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭Spalk0


    I dont think Braces are particulary sexy really!well not compared to someone without them but it wouldnt deter me from anyone!simply because they dont make someone look unsexy and they are only temporary!

    For god's sake tuxy it wasn't sexy in slydice *shudder*

    Anyways tbh I don't think it'd make a difference if a girl had braces or not so long as she was willing t................ had a nice personality.cool.gif

    you see, i always liked little 'imperfections' on a girl...things like scares and braces, slight little differences from the norm - verry sexeh ;)

    so dont worry about it, anyone whos opinion is worth caring about wont care if you have them or not

    and i quite like 'em...

    but if you are still worried, here's a usful website

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,709 ✭✭✭BolBill


    Wouldn't worry about braces, I kissed a girl with braces years ago and she was still one of the best kissers ever !!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭cajun_tiger


    i had them and loved them but the only thing is be very careful going down on a guy coz you can hurt them.... i wasnt to bothered when it happened but he screamed like a little b!tch

    Braces can be sexy - but my only worry as a guy is 'getting caught' in her braces when I'm getting me some ;) doesn't bear thinking about.....

    :eek: ohhh ... not good.

    I'd say I don't like them .. but that was cause when I had them I hated them. I wouldn't let it put be off someone. As Ferdi said that sometimes something unique about a person makes them more attractive. It adds to the character.

    there was a few cuties with braces when i was in college... they were cute to start with, but this kinda topped it off... they were mega-cute with the braces...

    It wouldn't really bother me in the slightest :p

    Oh nothing makes my sex wee quite like seeing a guy with braces emerging from my nether regions with a pube stuck in his braces, rarrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I agree, if you're cute, braces will make you cuter.

    tbh i'd be more worried why your teeth were going anywhere near anything when going down on a guy...

    edit: ferdi what the hell are you doing on a girl power website btw? :p

    Some women like to use a little teeth when they're down there Seraphina...... sometimes it's cool, but if they go too far - look out..... coque fillet will be off the menu for some time methinks!!!

    "braces - sexy or not" = "girl - sexy or not"

    EG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭ARGINITE


    depends on the person there on, but mostly sexy!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 144 ✭✭Aava


    I think it depends on the person wearing them. Just like glasses suit certain people, but not everyone.

    I suppose if you have a cute smile they'd look good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭mp3guy


    don't worry about them, i had them for 2 years, they suck the first few days, but then you get used to them , and so does everyone else you know. Plus, when you're done, you'll have one hell of a good smile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    but i dont smile...
    not that much anyway. seems to be a pointless exercise. however. maybe someday i will start smiling more.
    until then, braces

    I would have thought that that was what the braces were for, cant imagine that you never smile. Hopefully it will do something for your obviously low self confidence. There's nothing more attractive than a nice smile :D

    If you get them, don't be ashamed of them. And certainly don't be one of those people whose face contorts when they want to laugh or smile, because they don't want their braces to be seen. I went out with a girl once who used to do that, and it drove me mad. It's not necessary :)

    Kevin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    nah im just not much of a smiler anyway really.
    people are always asking me if there's something wrong because im not smiling or look unhappy or something. i think thats just the way i always look.
