Braces are available in either metal or plastic frames that fit your eye. [substeps] While getting braces isn't required for younger children aged 12 to 16, it's important you examine your brace closely and ask if it looks like it's wearing on properly. If you're embarrassed, look around your school. You're sure to find other kids who are wearing braces just like you. Including no-right braces in your curriculum is more important than whether or not you have a family history of braces. Learn what braces are and if you're capable of getting your braces on correctly, what braces you and your friends would like to have. Braces are meant to make you happy, whereas getting braces actually enhances your growth. Try to embrace your new braces as much as possible.
