Do braces actually improve jaw/face or only teeth?

[Knoper]

Yo guys,

I’m getting braces next week and I’m honestly pretty stressed about it. I’m worried it’s going to make me look worse, at least for a while.

I’ve been looksmaxxing for about 1.5 years now. Lost around 20 kg of fat and then built about 4 kg of muscle. I definitely look better than before, but I still see myself as kinda “chopped”.

Some time ago I fainted and fell on my face. Didn’t need stitches or anything, but after that I started paying more attention to my face and noticed I have a slight overbite. When I push my lower jaw forward, I feel like I look noticeably better.

I went to an orthodontist and I’m getting braces, but not because of the overbite — it’s mainly because one of my canines is too far forward.

So my question is:
Do you guys have experience with this? Will it actually improve my looks in the long run, or not really? And how bad is the “braces phase” visually?

Would appreciate honest opinions.

Thank you very much bro, but I am still afraid of it. I was very depressed because of my looks (I was really ugly like sub 3)
I am now 18 years old and I’m stressed that the one year with braces will be just a nightmare

makes the malocclusion correction process way more difficult since your bones aren't adapting as fast as they would while still growing. surgery usually ends up being the only option
