Sounds good to me
! It is true you have to be happy with your appearance before you can help others be happy with themselves! There is definitely some confidence you can gain by feeling strongly about your appearance. I had braces for almost 3 and half years so Ive been down that road, it wasn't easy but i always kept a certain thought in my head "the end result will be worth all this" and my friend it was worth it!! So yeah I am really glad you are working problems out with yourself first that is quite bold and really a smart thing to do!
Cheers! If you have any questions about braces message me!
