Wear more chandelier earrings or dazzling studs to take all eyes off your teeth. The decorative accessory will give your look an upgrade and enhance your overall appearance.

By wearing false eyelashes with a bit of eyeliner, your eyes will pop, balancing out the braces. Try to wear them with a bit of eyeshadow, as the three-dimensional look will make the braces less of a distraction.

Keep Teeth White

Floss and brush at least twice a day, and use a mouthwash to loosen food particles that can often become stuck in the metal. Use hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth and keep them looking polished.

    Unfortunately, and quite frankly, I don't think there's a way to make braces pretty. I'd focus on other features. Maybe try a new hairstyle or trendy clothes or makeup. Take the focus away from your smile instead of towards it. (I hope this doesn't sound mean in any way.
