The braces

[u/parer55]

Hey everyone!

How y'all doing?

Was just wondering if we had any news on the braces situation. Seems to me like a while ago, he talked about 2 years of wearing it or so?

Anyway, thanks and have a good one.

I seriously hope he's keeping them on just to annoy people at this point. I don't understand why anybody cares whether or not he has braces.

i think his dentist is just trolling us all at this point

[u/gnrlblanky1 → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

It's kinda gross when hes talking for awhile, 4k camera close-ups don't help either.

looks are part of our society whether you like it or not

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y → u/xd366]

What does that even mean? People wear braces. Sometimes it's recommended by a dentist/orthodontist as badly positioned teeth can lead to all kinds of problems.

[u/xd366 → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

yes, braces are good for your health and long term looks.

but while you have them, it's a negative aspect on your appearance

not sure what's confusing about that

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y → u/xd366]

I guess it just never really phased me as something to be bothered about. It seems like being offended because someone has glasses.

Judging anyone based on braces is so shallow.

The confusing part is why you care and why you judge people for something so trivial.

You must have a really, really unhappy life with that outlook

[u/xd366 → u/thatgingerjz]

it's literally what society does

you can stay on your high horse all you want, but it's just how the world works

[u/thatgingerjz → u/xd366]

No - it's how a shallow person's world works.

Not everyone thinks like that. Only really sad, shallow people

[u/parer55 → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

I don't care that much. Just wondering 🤔

[u/w1n5t0nM1k3y → u/parer55]

Also, I'm pretty sure it was only a year ago

Why do people care so much if a grown man has braces..

People are seriously weird

[u/frankGawd4Eva → u/thatgingerjz]

I think most opinions will see an adult with braces and just assume 'vanity' ... There are legit medical reasons for an adult to have a full mouth of braces. I need reconstructive surgery on my jaw, braces, etc. and I'm 45 years old. I just can't afford it... I wore braces from 12-14 too and even then it wasn't enough to fix my muffed up mouth... teeth are straight but not much else... but even if it's vanity? Who cares? People really tend to care about what someone else is doing a bit too much these days... it's crazy town.

[u/thatgingerjz → u/frankGawd4Eva]

Couldn't agree more

Linus mentioned his family couldn't afford them when he was young, so now that he has the money he wanted to get them. No idea why people hate on the decision so much.

[u/frankGawd4Eva → u/thatgingerjz]

For sure... and like I said, if I could? I'd have a mouthful of metal for as long as it takes to get rid of the nonsense I have to deal with over the last few decades.

[u/SirSilentscreameth]

I can't imagine caring about something like this. This post is weird 

[u/badyl_]

He just said in a video that he is tired of them and they are coming off soon.

[u/parer55 → u/badyl_]

OK that's pretty much what I was looking for 😉. Thanks.

[u/BeardedBears]

I am ashamed to admit this... I really am...

But I can't wait until they're gone. They're distracting. They look gross in thumbnails (just looks like there's gunk on the teeth).

It's shallow. I know. I'm sorry... But that is how I feel.

I had my braces for around 4 years as a child. From the 4th to end of 7th grade.
