So basically for whatever reason before I was 18 (now 21) I never got braces. My dentist never suggested even tho my top front teeth there’s a noticeable gap and one tooth on the left there’s a tooth that also has a gap. It’s probably my biggest insecurity because I don’t smile in my photos because of it. A women might find me attractive but then turned off because of it but I don’t know how the majority of women feel about it. My other teeth are relatively fine like no gaps and all my teeth are healthy and aren’t yellow. Basically normal colour if you brush and floss. I’m speaking to a girl atm and she’s super fun to speak to and she’s super pretty and I really want to ask her out on a date but it’s the one thing that’s holding me back. I’ve dated one girl for 5 months before but like I don’t know. I am going to get retainers to sort it out soon. So maybe wait till then but then if we only are speaking for like a month she might get bored and find someone else. Just any advice for a women’s perspective
