I'm considering lower fixed braces to close a gap from a molar extraction, and the orthodontist says it's possible. I'm excited about the potential but nervous about the social aspect. My teeth are already relatively straight, and I'm worried about people questioning why I'd get braces. I'm also partly afraid that my fetish will be discovered. Has anyone else experienced similar anxieties? Did it deter you from getting braces, and if not, how did you manage it?
