Need advice! going into high school and problem with teeth?

i got braces, a few weeks ago and braces aren't really a problem for me but, i have two missin teeth.





i have my two front teeth and the teeth next to them but, the teeth next to that are missing. they are called in-cisors. i am goin to get de-roofing done on my gums so they can starting comin in, they will be in by october/november so its not like they are goin to be missin forever.





i don't like to talk anymore cause people have a chance to see the gaps and when i do that, its show that i have low self-esteem and i don't need that in my first year of high school.





my question is:


1. will people make fun of me especailly the seniors and jr.'s?


2. will new people even want to be my friend (like making new friends)?


3. will people understand?


4. will u make fun of of me cause of the teeth thing?


5. what would u do? would u not care and still make new friends cause u kno the problem is goin to be fixed in a few months?

Need advice! going into high school and problem with teeth?
Who cares? If people make fun of you for that, they aren't worth talking to. Everyone's different. Someone asks? Tell them the truth. Or you can have some fun with it.. Tell them they got broken in an accident or something and you haven't got caps yet.
Reply:eh, what a list! anyhoo:





1) yes there is a probability that they will; unfortunately, not everyone is a mother teresa. but keep in mind that there are more considerate people than rude ones


2) people who are bound to like you for who you are will like you, sans the temporary teeth issue


3) i dare say not everyone will. but i can say that nobodys perfection itself so everyone is bound to have/havehad some tooth problem themselves


4) no, i dont know you too well and its not my place anyway since my precious pearly whites arent exactly spectacular. but if i were a good friend i would tease you. a liiittle bit ^^


5) youve just answered this question by yourself: just fill in HELL YEAH for each one. why should this dental thing stop you from enjoying your first year of hs and getting to know others?





ps: if its means anything, im starting hs too. good luck and have fun!
Reply:don't trip over it. be glad you're getting your teeth fixed - in a short time you'll have some pretty teeth that will make you feel confident about yourself. enjoy it and just be yourself. In fact, be the first to point out the braces so your friends know you are cool with it. that will take the pressure off them on what to say and it will diffuse any little creeps who are thinking about saying something.
Reply:I have been right where you are, except I had it worse. I had braces and the gaps, and one time my orthodontist strapped 2 headgears to my face and sent me back to school, so honey I am a survivor! I will go through your questions in order and answer them as well as I can. Keep in mind we are talking about people, so no answer is concrete.





1. will they make fun of you? Some might. However, I think you will be pleasantly surprised when you see some of the other kids in your class. Most freshman feel conspicuous and gawky. Give yourself time. Remember, braces are temporary, one day they will come off, and you will take the world by storm!


2. will new people want to be your friend? Of course, if you show yourself to be friendly. Real friends won't like you for your looks, but because of who you are.


3. will people understand? Understand what? That you have braces, sure.


4.will you make fun of me for the teeth thing? Look, let me let you in on a secret...never ever, ever let them see you sweat. I'm not sure if you are a boy or girl, but if you go to school, and smile a closed-mouth smile, never look anyone in the eye, and walk with your head down, you are a victim waiting to be thrown into your locker. Go ahead and grin, and let those braces gleam! Look people in the eye and laugh and smile and enjoy your high school year. If some jerk makes fun of you, look him/her in the eye and say "This is temporary, what's your excuse," or something like that. The important thing is, hold your head up and be happy. In a few months after your braces come off, no one will remember anyway. This is an opportunity to make real friends. If someone makes fun of you, remember how it feels, and make sure you never make anyone else feel that way. Be strong, and God bless
