I'm about to put on braces, which I've been putting off for a long time because I'm worried about what I'll look like. I don't think it's the most pleasant sight for a girl with braces, and the very idea of having an iron in my mouth is terrible brackets asked me what the iron was in my mouth, even though I tried to cover it up. And I'm almost 20, if that matters. What do you think is purely visually ugly?

even if it's ugly, the goal is to be prettier when it's time to remove them, it's uglier to have crooked teeth forever than braces for a while
