Braces

[Tranquility]

It may be a dumb question, but I kind of wonder. I've only ever seen a few couples where one of them wears dental braces. So I'm wondering, would you guys date someone with braces? If yes, why - if no, why not.

[Andy78]

I have done. When I was fourteen, my BF at the time wore braces - no major headgear or anything, just regular braces. And then another BF when I was sixteen wore braces as well.

 

Why did I go out with them? Well they were still human, and damn cute as well. It's not like they were going to go all Borg on me, and try and assimilate me

I've not thought about this. I have not dated anyone with braces, but I don't see braces stopping from dating someone, as long as they're cute and lovable:). To me, (regular) braces don't makes a significant difference (now). Those headgear kinds are totally a different matter...

I never thought about it before either but that's a good question. No I've never dated anyone with braces but I had them (even the awful headgear, rubberbands, and later a retainer and all) One of the reasons I hate looking back at those pictures! My mom put a lot of money into our mouths

Hahaha, the rest of me is screwed but my teeth are still straight

I had braces in my late twenties. They actually show up in our wedding pictures and I kid my wife about robbing the cradle.

I didn't have braces. Back then nobody in the country had braces. I don't even remember seeing them around until the late-70s and only on people from the big city (that would be Jackson or New Orleans).

 

i should have had them. My teeth are crooked and I've had a lot of trouble with them.

I personally wouldn't mind dating someone with braces, but you have to wonder... Just how much do they limit certain activities one can perform with their mouth?

And here he is!

 

[Tranquility]

Looks cute

[Zombie]

I'm sure they made a lovely couple

I wore braces for two years so I wouldn't discriminate against a guy simply because of braces. I did kiss french kiss a guy with braces once in college and it was weird, but I think I could overlook that as long as he didn't cut me with them.

Thats why they invented Invisilign braces.

At first, I missed the word "dental" and thought, heck no, too Gordon Gekko. Then I realized you weren't asking about suspenders.

You're right, because people with bad teeth should be able to get lucky too.

Yeah braces wouldn't put me off someone, actually I have know a few really damn cute people with braces in my life. Never dated one as yet, and I guess at this stage of life it'd not really be a factor to be worried about in middle aged men. Maybe more dentures to be thinking about at this time in life. Hahahaha
