Do you find yourself asking yourself the question, How would I look with braces? No problem.
Everyone currently considering getting braces are asking themselves the very same question, and even though the teeth straightening treatment is only temporary and you can expect the results of your treatment to last a lifetime (provided that you follow the instructions that your orthodontist gives you and do your part to maintain your new smile), you might still worry about how you are going to look while wearing the braces.
Fortunately, we live in a wonderful age where technology makes it possible to get a sneak peak of what life with braces is going to look like. Additionally, it is possible to get clear aligners that are practically invisible, meaning there is less for you to worry about in terms of temporarily altering your appearance for the worse before you are able to shed the aligners and reveal your new smile.

How you will look after braces
You might have heard that wearing braces can subtly change the shape of your jaw and therefore alter your appearance – and this is not just a rumour or a possibility, it is absolutely true! In fact, it is impossible to straighten your teeth without shifting the root of your misaligned teeth inside of your jaw, and this in turn is bound to slightly alter the shape of your jaw, and with that, your overall facial bone structure.
Dramatic as this may sound, the changes that happen to your jaw during a teeth straightening treatment are usually very, very subtle and in some cases even imperceptible to the naked eye.
