It could be a very good thing for your practice. As many people have commented, very few people actually notice them and I think with time you will come to realize this for yourself. Your patients will appreciate your therapeutic approach, and I think braces may actually enhance it. I'd be curious to hear your reaction over time -- give it a few months at least. Best of luck to you!
That's a really interesting point - I will keep you posted on how I'm feeling in the job and in general as things progress! Thanks for the support
