my question is, should I change my cosplays if thats the case? and if so then who should I cosplay? I don't want to ruin a good cosplay with braces.

Just smile with your mouth closed for pictures.

You really can't tell then. I had braces for ~forever~ and they became unnoticeable after a while because I never used my teeth to smile.

Braces, Appearence, anything. It will not ruin a cosplay. : )
Just have fun; that's all that matters!

I say, give the biggest smile you have! It shows you have the true spirit of a cosplayer! Unless the character is all serious. Then give the death stare and blow the camera up with your mind.

It REALLY won't be noticeable. Seriously. As a person who had K-con as goal to have my braces off by, but that didn't happen, it really didn't change anything, and cosplay wise, it doesn't change anything. I really mean it, don't change your cosplays cause of braces. I remember I was scared that it was going ruin my kumoricon, but it has no affect. Especially if your a girl, some reason my friend noticed that girls who have braces, people don't notice them as much, but for boys its a bit more noticeable but I really wouldn't worry about it, it only has positives, you can now cosplay characters who have braces ^^

LOLOLOL it's like saying "having glasses, and can't wear contacts, cuz i have an eye infection/disorder" will ruin the cosplay

well in some cases it can, but BRACES??? are you kidding me??? i WANT braces! you have NO idea how much FUN i can have with those 8D change the colors of the elastic to the colors of my cosplays? HECK YES! *w*

Jinx · « **Reply #5 on:** April 05, 2011, 09:32:06 am »

awesome, thanks guys ^^ good to know I wont get killed for cosplaying agito or misa of someone with braces lol

also.....I don't think there ARE any anime characters with braces.....hmmmm

Kimiski · « **Reply #6 on:** April 05, 2011, 09:49:10 am »

Yup, just smile with your mouth closed ^__^
Don't let them ruin your fun of cosplay!!!

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #7 on:** April 05, 2011, 09:50:38 am »

i wear glasses and i cannot get contacts because of it because I need to see half the time though I have to take off my glasses for pictures.

Jinx · « **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:23:26 am »

hmmmm....well I get them on this morning so I guess I'll have a while to figure it out? ugh I'm so freaking out....wish me luck?

Blender · « **Reply #9 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:56:46 am »

WEll of course there aren't going to be anime characters with braces, the Japanese think that imperfect teeth are lucky and that it'll bring good luck to the family if their children have bad teeth.

Jinx · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2011, 11:48:27 am »

I can see why. this hurts like hell.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2011, 02:09:53 pm »

I don't think you should change your cosplay plans at all. I've seen people cosplaying while wearing casts or knee braces. Medical conditions happen; if cosplay is still possible, do it. Since you're getting oral braces, you may want to avoid open-mouth smiles, but only if it bothers you. I've taken a picture of someone with braces once before; neither one of us were bothered by them. Just do your thing and enjoy doing it!

Jinx · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2011, 02:18:37 pm »

just got em on....I can't smile at all, they wont let me. I guess its a good thing none of my cosplays need to smile

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2011, 02:48:59 pm »

That shouldn't be an issue once Kumoricon comes along (at least I wouldn't think so).

reppy · « **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:41:55 pm »

I think braces are cute. >.> But I'm probably also biased because I had them for 3 years. ^^

Jinx · « **Reply #15 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:43:07 pm »

thanks, now I'm feeling a bit better about how they look

they still hurt like hell though.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:59:16 pm »

^ Well, you'll be okay afterwards. Besides, reppy does have a point. Braces do often add a level of cuteness to most people.

Jinx · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2011, 04:28:29 pm »

but on me its all fugly and stuff T_T

luvan1me · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:49:56 pm »

besides, it's called photoshop

XDDD

7bijou7 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:56:34 pm »

Don't worry after say... 4 days they'll feel better, and with everyday of tightening they hurt again, but everytime it goes away in a couple of days. I'm sure they don't look as bad as you think they do. Hehe.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #20 on:** April 06, 2011, 06:28:58 pm »

See I can't smile during pictures either because my teeth are messed up but I do however make a great smile without teeth so it won't be so bad :3

Jinx · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:15:57 pm »
