I’m going through the exact same thing to you right now. My mind sink and I get paranoid everyday. I feel like I paid expensive amount just to make myself uglier and older. I really hope I could go back in time and tell myself not to get braces.
@@11md i feel like my chin didn't grow up this last 5 years after braces. And i feel uglier sadly. I usee to have remarkable cheek bones. Now i don't have them so i want to remove my braces also because my teeth hasn't been white since the braces.
@@cytoleiI was ugly before braces now I'm uglier, I just couldn't live with crooked teeth forever, my chin now is so small compared to my head that I look retard, I'm also hunchbacked and skinny so with that small undeveloped chin I look deformed
Girl if you are considered ugly in America ... I'M NEVER COMING TO THAT COUNTRY 💀 I know that you will not believe me , but you are beautiful , and I genuinely see you as beautiful , I wish that you can see yourself through my eyes , and you'd realise how beautiful you are .
I appreciate you not sugar coating things👏 but I also want you to know that I’ve been wearing braces for 2.5 years and sometimes my face looks worse because they’re moving and there will be weird gaps. It was v v hard to deal with, but now my teeth are more aligned and I feel a lot better!
Hi. I can feel what you feel right now. Don't lose hope. I am also getting depressed of what happen to my face after 4 premolars extraction for braces. I am trying to find ways now to reverse it. I am suggesting to my ortho to move all my molars forward. I am researching on Invisalign to widen arch. Since I don't want to place implant. Praying for you dear. Hope you will be fine. I am here, if you want someone to talk. 😊
omg this happened to me too. the other day i looked at a picture from before extractions and i looked SO DIFFERENT. my whole face had way more support and looked taut, i had a fucking jawline and my eyes looked cute. now they are turned downwards, my face is saggy and it looks like its melting. even though my teeth touched, my jaws recessed a lot and the worst part is that as soon as they took out the braces, my bite started to open. i've cried so much because of this and i can't believe orthodontists are still doing this. I was so excited to get my teeth straight, and now that i think about it, i didn't even have much crowding, i don't understand why he did this to my face. i need jaw surgery now and it pains me that even after that my cheekbone and eye area are going to look weird because of the fucking extractions.
Retractive orthodontics is the reason why I am watching this kind of video... I got it reversed surgically thank god, at least the upper jaw and midface anyway, and that helps a lot but I still havn't undid what the quack did to the lower jaw. Its been a whole ass expensive process because my childhood orthodontist decided the solution to a recessed lower jaw is to recede the upper jaw to match it... And yeah, it does age your face prematurely because if your skin isn't supported by the bone behind it, so it sags like what happens with age. Extraction/retraction orthodontics is malpractice, its not just BDD, don't let your ortho gaslight you.
I hear you girl! I'm going through the same issue right now. After 2.5 years with braces (still have them and it seems they're going to stay much longer) I've noticed how my face has changed. I knew this would happen but I thought it would be a good change. I can't even look at myself, I feel much worse than I used to. Thank god we're still wearing masks because at least I can hide the worst half of my face outdoors. Sometimes I can't even close my mouth properly and sometimes I feel my overbite got even worse. My cheeks and my mouth are going down and so am I. I don't even know how to talk about this with my dentist because every time I tell her about something that worries me she says "Oh, that's normal" but I think to myself "no, it's not. Other people don't get worse with the treatment. I'm even uglier now". I just hope this gets better for you and me. Keep fighting, I'll do the same ❤️
omg i am going through the exact same thing, my gaps closed very fast (MY PREMOLARS WERE HUGE!!!) and all of the sudden my face basically sunk, my cheeks lowered and my nasolabial folds are 3 times more evident, i was already ugly due my overbite lol but i liked the fuller oval shape of my face (now my face is...thinner?) but the positive part is i can finally sleep with my mouth closed and my jaw doesn't hurt when resting i was regretting putting on braces for weeks "uhm maybe i should have not extracted 2 upper premolars and opted for expanding my paladar instead ://" but the thing is it's done, i can't reverse it, and i'm only 6 months into braces i am more positive than you because i wasn't attractive at all before so lol it is a bit disheartening in my case but let me tell you you don't look ugly at all! i am considering hyaluronic acid fillers on my folds when my treatment is over, that's what another ortho from the same office recommended me maybe you could check them out! sending you the best energy, we'll get through this!
Thank you for being kind as I've been going through this, my face used to be round and baby like but now after getting braces it becoming like my jaw bone is shortening and cheeks. Mass is reduced, looks like my skin is sagging but I hope that the end result would be amazing and I used to do jaw exercise now
Braces gang, me too!! That shit harder to get through than people let on, I believe in you! Btw you're still amazing, enjoy life and forget everyone's opinions, they don't matter, existentialism! You'll have super nice teeth when it's done
Hi i have an overbite too, and just got my braces 1 month ago. Yeah i feel that, i know the journey will be long, and my mouth looks more horrible as an overbite + braces. But i believe after it get off, it will be more better, still a long journey 😭. Btw you great here, like a fairy
Also when you face changes noticeably and constantly (like with orthodontic treatment) you will of course notice those changes because you see your face almost every day. But once you treatment is finished and your face stops transforming you will quickly become used to how it look, and you probably won't be so disturbed by the changes any more
You are a really strong person for having to go through this kind of stuff! I get it having body dysmorphia and having your face slightly change sucks real bad. To be honest, I don’t see that much of a change between you now and you back then. I know you might think people are lying to you about that but I promise I really don’t see that much of a difference. Your perception of the change is magnified because you focus on it and you also have body dysmorphia. I hope you can get through this and eventually be happy with the way you look someday because you deserve to be happy! Also your skin and hair looks really good today!
Our teeth can definitely impact our face. 3 years ago I started grinding my teeth and this has caused my massester muscles to become huge and my face looks so fat now but only from the bottom and it looks uneven. I think maybe you can consult a plastic surgeon not that you need to but if you feel uncomfortable so they can provide options.
You are Beautiful. I just came across your channel. Please take solace in the fact your also Different. I see it . But Different in a very good way . Your such a beautiful Soul . Your Vibe Attracts your Tribe.
I kinda regret getting braces. Like you, I thought braces would improve my smile and make me more attractive. Not only did it make me feel worse about myself, but gave me dental and jaw pain that I never had prior to braces. Plus they cost me over $5000 because I didn’t have insurance. It low key feels like I got scammed 😭
I regret getting braces too. I have 4 premolars extracted. I hope I stick to my old face. But I past is past. I need to find a way now to make my face not narrow and sag.
My face is straight oil and open glands. It looks like I have racoon eyes due to acne and the ring around my eye where it doesn't form, creating the "racoon eyes." I usually go weeks without caring and just living but sometimes I peek and nothin is different like idk whats happening. 19 and struggling with dissss
I have been to my self for years, but I just don't understand why you feel this way? I don't understand it's not me trying to pick you up I just think you are wonderful.now I know I am just a old man and it doesn't mean anything. but I think you are wonderful.
You won't see this but i think you are cute and you are such a sweetheart you seem like a lovable fun person love you as you are i don't think you are ugly
Omg from word to word you are describing everything what is happening to me now,im also wearing braces,and will have jaw surgery bcs of extreme overbite. Also i have dark circles under my eyes and crooked nose 😥
You could try mewing after your braces come off. I had the same problem and a recessed jaw. But now that my braces came off and i mewed though not consistantly my face looks a lot better now. Also, it is not that extreme in your case so don't worry.
You’re so gorgeous. Can you get a somatic therapist to help you feel the emotions of self disgust, powerlessness, shame etc. in your body so you can release them? Do you have money for therapy? I know a lovely somatic therapist who isn’t very expensive. I really feel you could benefit so much from non cognitive therapy 💜
start mewing time is running out of your hands save your face after teeth extraction you need to find an orthodontist who will literally OPEN THE SPACES where your premolars were THEN IMPLANT new premolars for you to get your cheekbones and non flat face back you are still young. EDIT: btw do not feel sad. you are a literal 9/10 right now i am only giving you advice to become a 10/10 again
I do believe that you are a beautiful and good looking woman. As for how you feel about braces well I was forced to wear them by my parents in my early teens to the point where I hated them. I’ve felt unhappy since then and can only imagine what you are going through if you ever need to talk please get in touch with me
Hi. I just found your channel because I was looking for topics on hating how I look. I just watched a few of your videos. I’m genuinely sorry that you feel this way about yourself. I understand this particular feeling because I feel negatively about my looks as well. One thing I do find is many times when I see a girl saying how they feel they aren’t good looking, to me they are very good looking. I suppose it goes back to that old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I could sit here and explain how your nose isn’t too big and how you have full lips and sleek hair and nothing predominantly out of proportion. How I actually would like to have what you have, but it probably wouldn’t change your thoughts. We see ourselves how we see ourselves. I think it may be just a question of accepting what we see. I wish for some plastic surgery but cannot afford it. With social media and filters we see a lot of fakes and/or fake enhancements. On the other hand, as you noted in a different video, some people are aesthetically beautiful like a model. I see that as well. They are either naturally beautiful or with a bit of surgery they were able to afford. Anyway, those are my thoughts for now. I rarely post public thoughts but I felt compelled to talk to you.
We are our own worst critics. As an outsider, I do not consider you ugly at all. You may not want to believe me but you have nice features and a nice complexion. Whatever you do, please don't get an Oompa Loompa tan - now that is what I call ugly.
Once again? You are not ugly. The braces are probably just to close your teeth. So don't let it bother you. Have more confidence? I keep telling you. You are very attractive. You're only looking at your flaw's. What I see is a young woman who doesn't like herself. There are so many attractive actresses and actors who we would consider beautiful. They had it all ? Money, game you name it? And they still took their own lives. What you need to do? Try looking at yourself in the mirror and, say ? I am so beautiful. Give yourself positive complements Take it from me who for years didn't like myself. Because when I was teenager. I had acne. I was thought people we're staring at me? As I got olderj it went away. So please don't feel bad like your self
Do think you would consider yourself ugly if you didn't have body dysmorphia? You know, what makes somebody actually attractive to me is how their personality animates their physical body. A photo of an average looking person might be average, but if you get to see them in action, their personality is what makes you attracted to them (in the instance you like their personality). I think you have a really attractive personality and your facial expressions really add to that. So the way you look is like half of what makes you attractive. The other half is your mannerisms and personality, imo.
Unfortunately this is what usually happens with traditional orthodontic work which I Only works with the teeth and actually breaks the face. This is why Mike Mew is trying to herald the ugly truth about the consequences of traditional braces. Look into mewing, correct tongue posture, craniodontist or osteopathic treatment, or the ALF appliance. Because health and beauty are one in the same
You are beautiful mi lady, please take this thoughts out of your mind. Your brain is foolling tou because you are obcessed with look thoughts. You are trully beautiful, and you Will see one Day that being beautiful means nothing. You Will have a lot of boyfriends here at Brazil.
I'm sure braces don't cause this. Perhaps you are more genetically predisposed to having nasolabial folds. I think the wrinkles are prominent because of an inflammation of your skin around your cheeks. Skin conditions like rosacea cause this. This problem has a solution, but you need to consult a dermatologist. Natural procedures like lymphatic drainage for the face can also help reduce puffiness and wrinkles.
No, these lines were less prominent before. Look back at my other videos. This is a very drastic and negative change that only happened after my teeth started closing together. I’m losing facial definition.
Have you heard about proper oral posture, aka "mewing"? If I were you I would remove the braces and instead just mew and chew (gum chewing). See this video for some brief info on the subject: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zbzT00Cyq-g.html Also see lectures by Doctor Mike Mew on the topic, the lectures where he is showing slides in front of an audience. They can be found here on youtube. For the record; I am a man and I find you very attractive. Yes, I can see that certain parts of your face not are on par with other parts of your face - mewing can help you with this. Also remember that facial expressions matter a lot. No one will look at their best with a "dead eyes"/"defeated" type of look. You are applying this look quite a lot. When you do the opposite; when you have some attitude/confidence in your facial expression, or even smile, you look a lot better. Deep down you already know this is true. You would for example not show up to a job interview or a date with the type of facial expression you often show in your videos. Well, there is a reason for this. P.S: My face have changed a lot as a result of mewing (a mixture of "soft" and "hard" mewing) and chewing. If you want proof, I can send you some. All the best.
You are great person, nice girl. You have a kind soul and positive energy. Don't stop on details, move only forward. Let yourself to be unperfect. Share your email and you will see how many people want to help you. Me too. I want to be your friend.
