Now something you will encounter that is an issue for some teens is when they have pictures taken with braces. Most teenagers are embarrassed and don’t smile with their teeth in pictures. This is not necessary since anyone who has seen you in real life knows you have braces. Chances are you are making it a bigger deal than it really is. Here are a couple things you can do to improve your pictures if you are really worried about how they will look.
1. When you are choosing your bands, choose a lighter color. If you choose a dark color the bands will really stand out in pictures and can sometimes look like something is stuck in your teeth. Sometimes choosing alternating colors look really cool and different in pictures.
2. Always smile real smiles! This improves your pictures immensely since if you are self conscious about your braces when you are having a picture taken it will show!
3. If you want to you can smile without your teeth showing but if it isn’t your real smile then we recommend just smiling!
Since so many kids have braces nowadays it definitely isn’t a big deal and most teenagers look good with braces! So just smile in them. We understand the need to hide them, especially for important pictures such as school photos and such, but it isn’t that noticeable. We promise!
