114 Incredible Before & After Transformations Of People Who Wore Braces
Hollywood smile, a grin from ear to ear, a row of pearly whites - a beautiful smile is what all of us would like to have. Showing your ivories, after all, is proven to reduce stress, create more positive emotions, and not to mention, charms everyone around you.
But what if you weren't born with the perfect set of chompers? Thankfully, these days, oral medicine is advanced enough to offer a solution to the physical problems the crooked teeth present and bring back the confidence to smile as you please. Sure, getting braces on is not a very pleasurable experience, and there is some measure of pain involved, but the resulting perfect teeth are more than an excellent reward.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of before-and-after comparison shots of these incredible transformations achieved by wearing orthodontic braces and, in some cases, even dental surgeries. So scroll down to check our list of ugly ducklings turned swans below!

Once, when I was living in Japan, someone told me that you can spot an American easier than any other Westerner because we all have extremely straight white teeth. I was even told that American teeth are "unnatural". In cartoons and other parodies featuring Americans, they always exaggerate with insane large white teeth. My friend said that we're the only country that cares about how straight teeth are. Some in Japan consider crooked teeth cute. Aren't cultures interesting!
I'm 19 and have braces too.I have been wearing them for 9 months now. I'll get them off after 6 months. Looking forward to that day.
some of them (teeth) were not that bad, to me slightly crooked teeth are rather about unique-ness than ugliness. on the other hand some of them were really really bad, so braces made them very good service. i had a friend and she got crooked teeth because she was affraid to let anyone to pull out her tooth, that was already due to fall. and new teeth were already growing behind those old ones. and on and on to the point that her smile didn't looked very appealing(i lost contact with her, and don't know how's she looking now teeth-wise). makes me wonder, whether it was not the case here with many people on these pics. (i never had problem to pull my own teeth, i was disappointed when that era ended and there were no more milk teeth to pull)
Just make sure to wear retainers afterwards if not teeth start going back crooked. I stopped and now my teeth are a bit crooked again :(
All these people thanking orthodontists called Jesus, who knew it was such a Hispanic-dominated profession?
question: one of my molars has rotated 90 degrees... should i be worried

Wouldn't the Americans be in a big mess without their orthodontists ?
Are you going through AZOOSPERMIA, LOW SPERM COUNT OR PREMATURE EJACULATION? Contact Dr. Uduehi for a lifetime solution to your problem. I was once a victim of azoospermia which almost ruined my life & marriage for 18 years of childlessness, I used different kinds of medicine it was all to no avail.

Your case will be corrected by Dr. Uduehi if interested. Contact: uduehiherbalcare@gmail.com +2347084878384
Americans do seem to inherit poorly arranged teeth. I know they go on at the British where they do not have such a thing about false looking teeth, but good grief, some of these really did need the help, bless them. I do not know of any other country that has such bad luck.
Sure braces work, but anyone who has or had braces will know the struggle of eating any meat and getting the meat stuck in the braces.
Wow some of these mouths are shocking with the crooked teeth. My teeth are straight but, I always wanted to wear braces because I thought they make you look wealthy.
A lot of these transformations do not look like the work of braces, but veneers and caps. I ought to know!
after looking at this..I have to say, being a dentist has to be a depressing job. looking into a maw all day.
Wow... Am I glad that we have basic Healthcare that covers dentist (and orthodontery. Some of those teeth were terrible, and running around with a mouth full of randomly placed teeth looks really uncomfortable (and not really that appealing , to be honest) Very very few have perfect teeth and those weird, Holywood-like smile, there is a lot of variety. But most people don't have to weit into their thirteeth to finally be able to afford braces, and I think that is a great thing. Some of these messes in the mouths could have been avoided if the people had been given dental-work and braces as kids
I didn't have braces but I used to wear dental plate every night for 8 years. It was very uncomfortable, sometimes even painful (especially after adjusting the plate at dentist's office) but now I have a perfect smile. And I'm really thankful for my mother for making me wear it.
I'm a little bit torn on this one. I don't have perfect, straight teeth myself, and an a*****e in school many years back said something about that to me, and it made me super conscious about it. Like, I thought about it A LOT, and was ashamed everytime someone even mentioned teeth. It took me my whole puberty, teen years and quite a few grown up years to finally accept that my teeth are how they are. Why must everyone fit into this one model? On the other hand, do I still wish my smile was all hollywood? Yes, but do I want to change it? I don't think so. Thankfully the extreme insanely-white-insanely-straight-teeth-craze from the 2000's are letting up some. Try to be happy with how you are, especially what you can't change yourself.
I really don't like this article. Braces are purely cosmetic unless overcrowding teeth are in pain, and they can cause serious permanent problems with your jaws. I think it's a shame that small gaps in teeth or other slight imperfections are enough to get your dentist on your a*s about braces which only increases insecurity.
