I've been thinking... if you had just slightly crooked teeth—not anything major, but enough that you notice it—would getting them straightened really boost your confidence much? Or is it more like one of those things you think matters until you do it, and then it's like "meh, didn't change anything"? Idk, curious how others feel or if anyone's experienced this themselves.
I get what you're saying, but honestly, even minor changes can make a surprising difference. I had slightly crooked teeth—not super noticeable to others, but it bugged me every time I saw a photo or looked in the mirror. After getting them straightened, it wasn't like my whole life changed overnight, but I definitely felt more relaxed smiling openly. It's subtle, but that little boost in comfort and confidence adds up over time. Might not be life-changing for everyone, but it was worth it for me.
Totally relate to this. Did you find yourself smiling more naturally after getting them straightened? I noticed that once my teeth were aligned, I stopped doing that awkward closed-mouth smile in photos. It's not like I suddenly became super outgoing or anything, but it felt good not having to think about it anymore. Small thing, sure, but those little mental shifts can really add up over time...
