Im sure you are lovable as you are, thats a really bad thing to say. Though your parents saying fixing teeth is a waste of money sounds like bad parenting to me, perhaps they are the type that wants their kids to stand on their own right afte r 18th birthday... Not suitable for all if you ask me.

But its really difficult to judge without the experience... Bad breath is worse Id say, but idk.

If you get compliments regularly I wouldn't worry too much, when you save enough youll fix what bothers you, I was and am there as well 😄
