I really liked my teeth mid treatment (top photos), but I'm supposed to be getting my braces off soon (after 2+ years) and I don't like my teeth anymore? I don't have the confidence to smile at the moment, did anybody else go through similar?

My front teeth used to lean backwards, so when they corrected them I got an overbite which I thought looked pretty cute. They're trying to align them so I no longer have an overbite, but my top teeth feel like they're protruding and ugly at the moment. With the overbite, the gaps between my teeth were less obvious and I really liked my smile but now I just feel gross and my molars are even less aligned.

I don't know if there will be a drastic change in the last few months of my braces? Is that normal? They haven't given me a date although they said I'd be getting them off this year.

My teeth are a thousand times better than before I got the braces, so I don't feel like it's been pointless but I really don't like my smile right now. Just wanna see if anybody else has felt the same.

I need emotional support (text in pic#2 and #3) Just got them today, but.. Permenantly worried about my teeth ADVISE ME ON MY FACESHAPE! had 4 tooth extracted for braces. I read online that braces will change one’s faceshape especially after extraction. Sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better.
