You may be tired of being called "four-eyed" or "iron-faced", and you may not think that wearing glasses or braces is a good thing. But it all lies in the attitude! These days, glasses and anything that can make you look like a "geek" actually gives you more style because we're living in a nerdy culture. If you want to be awesome with glasses and braces, you need to know how awesome you really are, and behave and look accordingly. If you want to be on your way to loving the look of your face, see Step 1 to get started.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Getting the Right Attitude
Step 1. Don't think braces and glasses make you a nerd
Although in recent times the terms "nerd" and "nerd" have been reclaimed as pretty strong, if people in your school still use them negatively you must realize that glasses and braces have nothing to do with what they are. you are as a person. If you don't want to be labeled a nerd, then you have to think that you are not (unless you really are - which is absolutely fine!).
- People may have an idea of what it means to wear braces and glasses - but it's up to you to prove them wrong!
- If you behave like a strong person, other people will treat you as such. Conversely, if you act like you are weak or scared, then you will leave an opening for people who will want to call you nerds and nerds.
Step 2. Be honest with your personality
Always remain yourself and trust yourself. No matter what others tell you, you are always the person you have always been, inside. If you don't change who you are, how you feel, or how you behave, then people won't think for more than a second about your glasses or braces. Wear what you always wear and continue to be the smiling yourself you always have. If people notice a change in the way you behave, they'll know it's your glasses and your braces.
If you are normally outgoing, don't let glasses and braces get in your way
Step 3. Don't take yourself too seriously
Learn to laugh at yourself. If you want to be self-mocking about having four o cchi or a hit of metal, don't hesitate to do so. Why not beat others on time? If people see you perfectly comfortable with your particularities, they won't be on you. If you act like you are constantly worried about what people will say about your glasses or your braces, then they will have more fun making fun of you.

Be inviting and friendly. If you have a great personality, even fewer people will take an interest in your metal mouth. Remember Ugly Betty, who carries it successfully.

Step 4. Remember that glasses are trendy now
Wearing glasses, whether they're thick-rimmed black or a thinner variety, is definitely on trend now. Famous people like Ryan Gosling, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry, and Justin Bieber have been seen wearing this trendy accessory. It's cool to wear glasses, and while all glasses make some people think about computers and being "nerds", guess what? Computers, the world of computing and programming are the end of the world lately, so even if it doesn't necessarily define you, by association glasses will make you more fashionable, not less.
Step 5. Know that the appliance is not forever
Even in the most extreme situations, you will not wear braces for the entirety of your elementary, middle or high school years. We're talking about a year or two of unpleasantness in exchange for two straight rows of white pearls. You shouldn't have a countdown until the minute you can take your braces off, but you should keep in mind that, soon, your teeth won't be carrying the extra iron accessories.
Step 6. Remind yourself that everyone is insecure about something
It doesn't matter how old you are, but especially if you are a girl or a teenager, you will spend most of your time among people who are really just little balls of stress and insecurity. Everyone at that age has something they don't like about themselves, from acne to their own height, so you can just be glad your biggest concern is a simple pair of glasses and braces, and learn to love those aspects of yourself..
Step 7. Remember that people will get used to your new look pretty quickly
It will take a week with glasses to hear you say "Wow, you look so weird without it!" the moment you take them off for a minute. People quickly adjust to your new look and forget it's ever been different. And that includes you. Once you get used to it, you will stop wishing you didn't have glasses or braces because you will have gotten used to the new you.
Step 8. Maintain your confidence
Remember what a great person you are - glasses, braces and all. Don't be afraid to go to parties because you don't like the way you look. Don't be afraid to approach the guy you have a crush on because you couldn't kiss with braces anyway. Live your everyday life remembering how gorgeous you are, and the rest will go smoothly.
Remember that you love who you are, what you do, and all the people in your life. If you've always had low self-esteem, work on identifying your flaws and finding something you have a passion for. If you are happy with yourself, then you will be comfortable with your appearance
Part 2 of 2: Getting Your Look
Step 1. Find the part of yourself that you want to show others
Whether it's your sense of fashion, your athletic skills, singing or dancing, whatever! Find the part of you that makes you most unique. Let this be the thing people notice, not your glasses. Show off your favorite personality trait or skill (without being arrogant), and you'll see that that's what people really focus on.
If you like singing karaoke, don't be afraid to get on stage and sing your favorite song
Step 2. Go wild with a makeover
Are you tired of the same old haircut? Think you've worn the wrong hairstyle so far? Do you feel like you've always been wrong in wearing makeup? Well, this might be the perfect time to give yourself a makeover. If you're already comfortable with your looks, of course, then there's no need to think about it!
It might be fun to change your haircut when you get glasses and braces. Just don't try to use your hair to cover your face, or people will know you're not comfortable
Step 3. Don't hide your smile
Don't be one of those people who live in fear of smiling for three years just because of braces. Not smiling physically will make you less happy on the inside as well. So, keep showing your smile, being a happy person, and letting them see your teeth. Don't let your looks stop you from having fun with friends. You will be a little insecure at first smiling with your new appliance, but after a little practice, you and everyone else around you will even forget the existence of the appliance.
Step 4. Choose glasses and braces that match your personality
There are several shape and color options available for the glasses. There is also the choice of contact lenses. Some patients may wear Invisalign rather than traditional braces, but the elastics in the brace can also be customized for those who want them colored or be chosen transparent for those who prefer them to be discreet.
- Don't think that having glasses or braces means you have to be ugly for a while. You'll have to wear them for a while, so we might as well wear them at their best.
- It really depends on the look you want to use. Some people insert their favorite colors into their fixture to add style to their look, while others choose the clear fixture option. It all comes down to what makes you most comfortable.
Step 5. Take care of your appearance
Don't stop taking an interest in your clothes or looks just because you're wearing glasses and braces. If you normally like to dress well, then keep doing it. Don't sacrifice yourself in a pair of sweatpants just because you feel disheartened with your looks. Instead, you can also care even more about how you dress if you think it will cheer you up and make you feel special.
-
If you normally wear makeup, keep wearing it. Don't think you want to distract attention from your beautiful face!

Step 6. Take care of yourself
Keep yourself clean and cared for properly. Bring some mascara, blush and lip gloss, and a little perfume if you're a girl. And if you are a guy, make sure that smelling good is your priority one; not only will it attract girls, but it will give you more confidence. Bathing regularly and wearing deodorant is enough, but wearing a nice cologne is even better.
Making the effort to look after your appearance more will make you feel better about your look and personality
