Dear Carol,
I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible
in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come
off?

Dear Connie,
Start by thinking about how good you are
going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your
appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime
there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:
l
Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape
of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of
hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws
attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball
on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.
l
Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup, it should look
natural. Blusher and lip gloss in light tones of peach or pink are best.
l
Be well-groomed. Neatness really counts. People see a total
look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first
impressions are lasting ones!
