+89 It's interesting that things like plastic surgery and implants are deemed fake and vain, but other things like braces are completely normal to have, amirite?

DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying any of these things ARE fake or vain. Heck, I've had braces. Just an interesting thought.

I feel like it's because getting braces isn't just for cosmetic purposes. If someone were to get a nose job so that they could breath better and it happened to make their nose look better/straighter, people wouldn't consider that vain.

A friend of mine is having that done, it won't even be visible from the outside, but on the inside they're scraping off some of his nose bone. I think he's very brave, especially since he sings for a living.. I'd be scared as hell.

I want to see someone about getting it done, it's really hard to breath out my nose cuz I broke it before. It's good to hear it won't be visible from the outside cuz I don't want to change my face.

It isn't for him, since they do all the work on the inside. If it'd be the same for you it shouldn't be visible either.

I have no idea what they'd do to me since I broke my nose when I was about 4 or 5 but I think it'd be similar and have little to no impact on the appearance of my nose since that's what happened to your friend:) It just depends on what they have to do I suppose, but I can;t imagine it making it much of a difference... still, this is //my face// and I don't want it to look different at all. And I get what you mean about the singing for a living. People don't realize it, but the nose has a lot to do with voice.

Braces aren't just for looks. They correct your bite, making it healthier. Also, some people have teeth in some unpleasant places like almost going up their nose and braces correct that.
