This is hard because some teens are so worried about their appearance. You must point out that most people who need orthodontic treatment look like a geek even before they get braces. How would you like to go through life with buckteeth and a jaw that is either too big or too small? If your daughter is really concerned about her appearance, then braces will really help her. Your smile is the most striking feature on your face, and at the end of orthodontic treatment her smile will look fabulous. Doesn’t she want to look fabulous? We already have ceramic braces that blend with the color of your teeth and offer the same degree of resilience. Before long we will have in India, designer braces, in a series of styles and colors.
