Hey,

I personally will be getting braces soon. I used to be super self concious about my teeth, too.

There's no other way to fix your teeth, so you'll have to get them when you're in a better position financially.

In the meantime your only solution is to accept the reality as it is. Accept that your teeth are not perfect. Accept that this might turn girls off, you may get rejections just because of that, but there's nothing you can do about it. Just act confident, stay tough, you'll get past it. Don't let it become an issue for your self-esteem.

Edit: While you can't do anything about your teeth until you're able to afford braces, you can still continue to improve in other fields and it will be an advantage in the long run. Hit the gym, stay healthy, continue to work on your social skills.

It's hard to gauge the severity of your teeth situation without a visual, so I can only base my advice on my teeth situation and in general. Anyway, so I have the opposite issue (overcrowded teeth), and I find it very noticeable when I speak in front of a mirror or video. I've had this problem since I was a teenager and am only planning on getting it fixed now at 30.

Now I haven't heard anyone overtly mention it behind my back or otherwise, unless you include how I try to hide it (ex. lip position when speaking, angling head up when talking), but I completely empathize with what your feeling. What I have to say though is it's probably not as bad as you may think it is. We as people always tend to focus on our own flaws way more than any 3rd party would.

On the other hand, does it effect our game with women? Maybe... It's hard to say because in my experience I've gotten laid and have had hot plates/girlfriends, but it's plausible that other guys with similar conditions haven't had as many lays/plates/SO's. Would either myself or those other guys really have so many more lays or higher quality plates/SO's if it were fixed?

What I'm saying is that teeth are merely a factor like anything else ( physique, status, hair, style, charisma, race, religion, income, etc), so who really knows how much of a difference it would make because there are other forces at play. Arnold Schwarzenegger had a huge gap in his front teeth that he got fixed, but did that really have a huge impact on his sex life? I doubt it, he's fucking AHNULD!

THE MORAL OF WHAT I'M SAYING: If you REALLY can't fix it, don't fixate in it! It will only hurt your game because of your focus on it, but yes compensate for it by self-improving in other aspects...

...BUT!!! If the degree of it is really bad, or you just feel it's really important, or you just can (like me), or you have Pennywise the Dancing Clown teeth, then I say save up and get them fixed. Meanwhile, still keep self-improving.

If you have a dental plan, USE IT. I'm not that great looking but my teeth are perfect, and chicks dig good teeth
