Now theres a question! I'm  not sure exactly what it is but i think I'm attracted to a lovely silver smile and also the more complex the braces the more I'm interested also I find headgear very sexy  which I think comes from the fact that the first girl I was close to had headgear this was in the early 80 s  I just new I thought it was facinating. Later on in life I developed a bit of a bondage fetish so think the 2 are closely connected. I was just 13 or 14 when I knew this girl so just realised  she and her braces made me feel nice nothing more at the time

I think only a psychiatrist or a psychologist could exactly answer this question but this is probably a kind of fetichism linked to SM universe, like it could be for the leather, heels or other things like that.

I am sure some of us are also attracted to others things which are supposing to create moral or physical pain or at least uncomfort. This question could be a topic !

As seen as the polls, most of us are more attracted for very visible, painful and uncomfortable devices (headgear, herbst...) than light ones (invisalign lol).

Why we are like that... no idea but this has to be related to our youth.

yes, I think you probably got it right there. For me I've no idea what triggered it but probably something in my past that I was only subconsciously aware of. Maybe there was a pretty girl with braces or something but I don't really remember anyone specific!

I would say that I'm not really into anything that specifically causes pain or discomfort or embarrassment to another person (I don't get off on that at all), but it's more the look and the experience for me I guess. Each to their own of course...

I really don't know why I like braces.  I've often thought about that, but I've never been able to come up with a good answer.

When it comes to braces on other people, it's not that braces alone make someone attractive.  I'm a straight guy and I like women, so it's not like I would find another guy attractive just because he had braces.  That goes for women I see too.  If I don't already find them attractive for some reason other than having braces, then I wouldn't be attracted to them just because of the braces.  Braces are definitely a major bonus, but it's not the only criteria.

In addition to finding women with braces attractive, I also enjoyed having braces myself.  I can't explain it.

I think that part of the attraction is that someone else has something that you are not "allowed" to have, which makes you want them!

hmm interesting theory, I would tend to agree!! Never had braces myself so curiosity must be a big part of it for me

Very interesting question! I always refer to myself as being an outsider in two ways on this forum, in that firstly I don't particularly like the thought of having braces myself, and secondly when it comes to other people I prefer them on guys to girls.

I suppose for me, a lot of the interest surrounds the "loss of control" aspect. The fact that at any age, be it a teenager right through to an adult, you are obliged to accept you are not in charge of everything any more. That's not just in the pure aspect of what is on your teeth, but the changes in speech, the changes in how you act, i.e. the "social" side as well as the pure orthodontic side. I try and explore this at times in my fiction, with the popular jock getting the heavy metal, for example, or where an adult finds themselves in an awkward situation.

This pretty much sums up my feelings.. when I was younger, some of the first girls I made out with definitely had braces - but I wasn't attracted to the braces specifically, they just added a little something.

As I got older, the interest in braces has never waned. I'd always wanted braces myself, and when my childhood dentist told me I didn't need braces, I was disappointed, but didn't think much about it after that one appointment. I do remember that appointment clearly, and wish I had said I was unhappy with my teeth - if I remember it correctly, he sort of gave me an opening to say I want to fix this or that.

I ended up getting braces when I was 31 and wore them for 2 years. It was an awesome experience, and now (2+ years after they've been removed) I am looking for a reason to go back and see if I could do with another round of braces. My midline has shifted a bit, despite wearing my retainers religiously...

For me, more than anything the interest has always been about the feeling of braces for the wearer. What would it feel like to walk out with a new mouthful of metal.. with a new headgear that you're supposed to wear 14+ hours a day.. with a herbst or an expander that just looks like it would be so bulky and uncomfortable..?

I first noticed braces when a girl in my primary school was asked to speak up in assembly. She couldn't speak properly, everyone laughed and a teacher remembered something and excused her. I saw her later and she had a few wires and a mass of plastic in her mouth, a 'brace'. I like this girl anyway, as an 8 year old I had an innocent attraction to her. This new addition was very exciting, I was hooked. I can't pinpoint why.
I later discovered fixed braces and found those very attractive and incredibly interesting, a passion strong in me now. I have little or no interest in bondage or S & M, glasses do something for me, as do body braces and hearing aids.
Oddly, I feel the repeated pattern in braces has something to do with it - I find plaited hair very attractive, also pleated or certain patterned (womens) clothes attract me.
Whatever the psychological reason, I enjoy indulging my desires!
