Ugh, I just realized that I have to get my license renewed in the next month or two, which means I will have a pic with braces to look at for the next 4 years. Kinda stinks, oh well!
Show them give a great big smile and when you braces are off you can just say you lost the other one and get other pic with you new smile that what I'm going to do.
I had my braces on for 3 years 4 months and 24 days that would be a grand total of 1220 days
Hey, we're paying a LOT of money for this mouth jewellery so I say smile for the photo to memorialise the braces! Plus too..I don't know about you but I may look at my licence once every 4 months or so...if that....otherwise it just lives in my wallet.

I didn't think about the whole not smiling thing. I've smiled in both of the two licenses I've had. I think I look worse when I don't smile. It doesn't really matter though, since like a previous poster mentioned I hardly ever look at my license anyway.
Oh my! I have to get a new passport within the next few months. I never even gave it a thought until now. It will definitely be a serious photo - I don't want to be reminded of my time in braces for the next 10 years!
I never smile in my license photos. But if you're in one of the united states that has surrendered to the Federal Real ID mandate, smile as huge as possible. Maybe the braces will screw up their biometric record so once they start expanding their facial recognition pilot programs there's a chance Big Brother might not be able to track you as easily.
and when you braces are off you can just say you lost the other one and get other pic with you new smile
that what I'm going to do.
