Since I have been in this business, I have known a few ladies that have had braces. I heard all the horror stories in High school about how horrible they are to kiss with and what not. And its not usually something you see on an adult.

How do you guys feel about a provider having braces? Or would it be something that you wouldn't even put much thought into?

If I have a naked woman in bed with me, I am not going to be thinking about whether she has braces or not.

Would not bother me in the least ......braces have come a long way in the last few years.....ie; invisalign
Take care sweetie

I had a past girlfriend with the newer braces, she did not want to give head at first as she had done in the past.  I did not press the issue but one evening she did it for a minute or two then stopped and asked. "is that hurting you?"  My response,"heck no, what hurt was that you stopped giving head when you got them"  LOL  Yep, she was afraid they would hurt, nope and as the saying goes, they lived happily ever after, well until we broke up over something major.  LOL

I think the braces thing will not be a problem.  I have had girls dine on me with  braces and I didnt really feel anything different.  Heck if she is gorgeous, has a great body and NAKED, I would think any guy would not hsve a problem.
Good Luck..

Most likely, horror stories you heard were urban myth like many others.

I could fantasize that I'm back in high school. Hehehe.

making Dirty Old Men feel lots less dirty since you're already quite a woman. Hell, wear Varsity outfit and have fun with it.
Braces...Keep in mind:
Metal braces and the techniques to use them (particularly the Damon system) have advanced to the point that there are very little issues. You'll have more discomfort from the brackets (very little with Damon) than your lovers will with any knicks or such. Damon brackets have no sharp edges.
Invisalign is a removable system where you get new appliances every so often. Since they're removable, no issues at all at work or play. There's a convenient Dentist Finder link from Invisalign below.

All Orthodontists do Free Consultations. Be sure to have a general dentist do a check up and that you're cavity free first. Also, having a good general dentist - one you really trust- makes it easier to find an orthodontist you'll trust just as much. Word of mouth being best referrals and all. Anyrate, the General Dentist will likely make a Panoramic Radiograph ("Panorex") where you stand and the machine moves around you. This is the first xray the Orthodontist needs and (s)he can use it to give you a better exam/sales pitch.

"Miss Cristin2486, I see you have Class (X) malocclusion and teeth (6,11, whatever) are rotated/in crossbite/ectopic/ etc. I would anticipate you need (blank) system for (how many) months. Down payment is $$ (varies), monthly payments are (generally $100-150) a month. So, depending on how long it takes for you to respond to care, your total cost would be $$$$, but keep in mid we're spreading it out and there's no balloon payment to worry about. I also recommend seeing Dr. (who referred you) for 4 month recare (cleanings) to help prevent white lines around the brackets. These that tend to turn into cavities, defeats purpose of straightening your teeth....."
A good marketing and competent orthodontist will also have CGI models that show how he thinks your teeth will move - seals the deal in most cases.

The sooner you can afford braces - faster and better the results as most bone growth slows dramatically after age 25 - but teeth can still be shifted well into middle age. Orthodontics can be a transformative experience since a better smile leads to even more confidence.

If you're thinking about it, go for it.

My 3 cents (I got long winded there),
