You are probably already tired of being called "four-eyed" or "iron face", and you may think that wearing braces or glasses is not so much fun. But it's all about attitude! These days, glasses or anything that can make others label you "freak" can basically make you cooler, because we live in the age of nerds. If you want both braces and glasses, then you need to know how cool you are, think and act accordingly. If you want to love your face, see step 1 to get started.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Change your attitude

1. 1 Don't feel like your braces and glasses are making you a nerd. Although not long ago it was considered cool to use the terms "nerd" and "ugly", and if people in your school still use them as insults, then you should understand that this has nothing to do with your human qualities. If you don't want to be nicknamed freak, then you have to think that you are not like that (if you are not like that, of course - and that's cool too!).
   • People have stereotypes about those who wear glasses and braces - it's up to you to prove otherwise!
   • If you act like cool people will follow you. But if you are weak and scared, it will only spur them on to call you a nerd or a freak.
2. 2 Stay true to yourself. Stick to personality and be confident. No matter what people told you, you were always below them. If you don't change who you are, how you feel and how you behave, then people won't think twice about your braces and glasses. Put on what you usually wear and force yourself to smile and be happy. When people notice that you have changed, they will know that it is all about your braces and glasses.
   • If you are usually outgoing, then don't let glasses or braces hold you back!
3. 3 Don't take yourself too seriously. Learn to laugh at yourself. If you want to make fun of yourself about four eyes or a full mouth of iron, then do it. Why not kill people with your sarcasm? If they see that you are comfortable with your quirks, they will back down. But if you get nervous and worried about what they say about your glasses and braces, then most likely you will be ridiculed.
   • Be sociable and friendly. If you are a big individualist, then fewer and fewer people will notice the metal in your mouth. Remember Ugly Betty who did it.
4. 4 Remember that glasses are in vogue now. Wearing glasses, whether in large black frames or more sophisticated options, is all the rage now. Celebrities such as Ryan Gosling, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry and Justin Bibber have been spotted wearing this fashion accessory. It's great to wear glasses, although some people think of computers and brakes, so what? Computers, the technical world and programming are worldwide evil. But even if you don't fit these descriptions, wearing glasses will make you cooler, no less cool than their comparisons.
5. 5 Remember, staples are not permanent. Even in the most extreme situation, you will not wear your braces throughout your years in elementary, middle, or high school. We're talking about one or two years of discomfort in exchange for a couple of strands of white pearls. It is not necessary to count the minutes until the braces are removed, but always remember that soon your teeth will not be decorated with additional metal jewelry.
6. 6 Tell yourself that everyone is shy about something. It doesn't matter what age you are, but even more so if you are a child of ten or a teenager, you will spend most of your time with people who are really just a small concentration of tension and insecurity. Everyone at this age has something that they don't like about themselves, from acne to height, so you can be glad that your problem is only in braces and glasses and learn to love these aspects of your appearance.
7. 7 Know that people will soon get used to your appearance. You wear your glasses for only one week, and then when you take them off just for a minute, people will say: "Wow, you look so strange without them!" People will quickly get used to your new look and forget that you've ever looked different. And about you too. Once you get used to it, you will even begin to regret not wearing glasses or braces before, because you will get used to your new image.
8. 8 Continue to be confident. Remember that you are the extraordinary person, not glasses, braces, or anything else. Don't be afraid to go to parties because you don't like the way you look. Don't be afraid to strike up a relationship because you think you can never kiss with braces. Lead your ordinary life, just remember how extraordinary you are and everything else will seem easier than a steamed turnip.
   • Remember that you love yourself, what you do and all the people in your life. If you have always had lower self-esteem, work on your flaws and look for something that will inspire you. If you are satisfied with yourself, you will also be satisfied with your appearance.

Part 2 of 2: Change the look

1. 1 Find in yourself what you would like to show people. Whether it is a thorough knowledge of the world of fashion, athletics, talent in singing or dancing, it does not matter! Find in yourself what makes you unique. Let people notice this, not your glasses. Show your favorite trait or skill (without being too arrogant) and you will see that this is exactly what interested people.
   • If you love karaoke singing, don't be afraid to go on stage and play your favorite tune!
2. 2 Get mad and break yourself. Doesn't it make you sick of the same old haircut? Think you styled your hair the wrong way? Feeling like you've applied your makeup incorrectly? Well, from now on you can start upgrading yourself. Of course, if you are happy with your appearance, then you don't need to change anything!
   • It can be fun to do a new hairstyle while wearing glasses and braces. Do not try to style your hair so that it covers most of your face, even if they say that it suits you!
3. 3 Don't hide your smile. Don't be one of those people who are afraid to smile all three years of wearing braces. A long time without a smile will make you a less happy person on the inside. Keep smiling, being a happy person, and letting people see your teeth. Don't let your looks get in the way of having a great time with your friends. At first, you will be a little uncomfortable smiling with the new braces, but after a short workout, you and your friends will forget that you have them.
4. 4 Choose glasses and braces that suit your personality. There are various options for colors and shapes of glasses. There are also contact lens options. Some patients may wear Invisaling instead of braces, even rubber bands in braces may be suitable for those who want multicolored, or white / transparent for those who prefer sophisticated ones.
   • Don't feel that having glasses or braces makes you unattractive for a while. You will need to wear them for a while, so you can make the most of them.
   • It depends on your appearance. Some people paint their staples in their favorite colors to add some flavor to their look, while others choose transparent ones. It all depends on what you feel comfortable in.
5. 5 Maintain your appearance. Don't stop caring about your clothes and your appearance, simply because you are wearing glasses and braces. If you usually enjoy dressing up, then keep doing it. Don't wear sweatpants simply because you feel overwhelmed by your appearance. Basically, you can even dress up if you think it will cheer you up and make you feel special.
   • If you've used makeup normally, keep doing it. Do not think that this way you distract attention from your beautiful face!
6. 6 Take care of yourself. Wash your face and take good care of yourself. Put on some mascara, blush, lip gloss, and some perfume if you're a girl. And if you're a guy, letting good smell be your priority, it will attract girls and boost your self-esteem. Regular bathing, using deodorant is good, but a good cologne is preferable.
   • By making an effort to maintain your appearance, you will help you feel more attractive and more special.

Tips

• Remember that you will not wear braces for the rest of your life. After a while, you will take them off and get beautiful teeth.
• Buy glasses that suit you best. If you must wear glasses, then you can make it a win-win for you!
• As braces become more affordable and common, more people are in your situation, which means you are not alone.
• Fool it! If you are very worried about the resemblance to "nerd" or "ugly", become one! Promote this as your style!
• Find a good eyeglass frame that fits your face shape.
• There are many programs that teach you how to do makeup with glasses. Look for some on You Tube.
• Make cool color staples make your style better.
• Nice clothes and a haircut are always helpful. Again, for a cool haircut, cut out a photo of your favorite celebrity hairstyle and give it to your stylist.
• Consider purchasing contact lenses, but only if you want to.
