Why do people make fun of your braces
People might make fun of the braces on your teeth because they are different from what people are used to seeing, and some folks may not understand or appreciate the reasons behind wearing braces.
Juvenile kids on the playground probably think braces are something that they can tease other kids about and get a reaction.
We need to remember that braces are a common and temporary part of many people’s lives, who want to straighten their teeth in a healthy way. Braces may not seem fun when you get them on, but if the end result is a fantastic smile it is worth it.
How to deal with people making fun of your braces
When dealing with people making fun of your braces, it’s important to remember that their comments are a reflection of their own maturity, and their comments have nothing to do with you. Here are some tips for handling such situations:
1. Be confident: Choosing to improve your smile is a great choice and it is only for a short period of time.
2. Educate others: If you want to, explain why you chose to get braces and how a nice smile lasts a lifetime.
3. Reply with humour: Use one of our clever replies to shut the person down, and then move on with your day, and don’t give their silly comment a second thought.
Remember that wearing braces is a positive step towards improving your dental health, and the temporary inconvenience will lead to a lifetime of confidence in your smile.

She shared with Harper’s Bazaar, ‘I always told myself when I got rich, that’s the first thing I’d do.’
Khloe Kardashian decided to get braces at 28 years old. Some people think that it is weird to get braces as an adult but it’s better than walking around with crooked teeth for the rest of your life.
If you have the cash like Khloe, you can get Invisalign and people will barely be able to see that you have braces.

If someone said something bad to me about my braces I would say “unlike you I actually know how to take care of my teeth”
