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.

    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.
