Braces are not as bad as people make them seem.
Although I never had braces, they are extremely common place in teenage years (keep in mind you’re still a teenager) and I never even think about them. I know a small number of people on campus that have them and I never even realize or think about it until they mention them.

So don’t let that worry you too much…it’s not too big of a deal, just be confident.

As for the orthodontist situation, I would get another opinion like others have mentioned but I would definitely keep them in. Those things are like 5k and it is not worth it to take them out if they haven’t helped. Keep them in so they can adjust them if they need to and only take them out when your teeth have improved. GL!
