Do people experience a loss of confidence after getting braces?

Individual reaction: It's an individual reaction - remember, the braces are not going to be permanent, and just think of how your teeth will be once the condition is corrected!

Brace confidence: Quite the opposite. Most people want a beautiful smile and this gives them greater confidence.
