So my friends were saying that getting braces make you look better. I also heard that the braces(or some other thing that are a different type of braces) or the braces with rubber bands recess you or something like that and Im really confused, so im thinking about going to a orthodontist, but I heard that the only thing they care about is if you have a good smile or not. I heard that damon braces are better or somethign but im not really sure. Im js tryna get rid of my over bite. Im just really confused and need someone to clear up my confusion. Thank you to whoever replied!

depends the problem but yeah, you'd have to describe your problem.
 
i dont really have any problems with my teeth i just have a slight overbite
 
Braces can improve how someone looks because they straighten the teeth and improve the bite, which affects lip support and facial balance. When people talk about braces 'recessing' the face, they are usually referring to premolar extractions and the teeth being moved back to close space, not to braces or elastics themselves.

I also have overbite, probably get braces and just so you know Damon and elastics have kind of the same result but with elastics you just go more often to the orthodontist
