Will having braces affect my chances of making the cheerleading squad?

Question by ily ☮♥☺: Will having braces affect my chances of making the cheerleading squad?
I might have braces until the end of ninth grade. I want to make the high school cheerleading team. I know smiling is one the most important things to do at tryouts, but I want to know if having braces in my mouth will affect my score or anything. It shouldn’t, but some people can be kind of shallow.

    It really shouldn’t. If I were you, I would either get clear braces, white/toothcolored braces, or even the team’s colors! Make sure to act confident, and just have fun, you’re sure to make the team! good luck!

    No, they shouldnt. lots of ppl have braces now[well at least at my school] and they’re actually not that bad. if ur into being preppy then have ur braces be the same colors as ur schools colors (: Braces shouldnt affect the chances of making the cheerleading squad. as long as ur some-what pretty, preppy, smile, energetic, flexible, loud, outgoing, etc then u’ll be fine! (:
    good luck.

    lol. No. If you suck, you suck. If you are good, you are good. They aren’t going to put somebody who sucks on the squad just because they don’t have braces and you do.

    wtf, if any of thsoe girls turn you down becuase you have braces then that’s gay, that’s like turning down a guy because he has a different color hair than you, that’s like Hitler.

    take a chance, i doubt it will but if those girls are shallow enough to turn you down than join competitive cheer, or rec cheer, rec cheer is at almost any local gym that teaches lessons or anything, competitive cheer is a huge commitment but its totally fun and you don’t get turned down by either becuase of your facial differences.

    cheerleading is a sport it’s not a pageant, tell them that if they turn you down

    Noo, braces shouldn’t affect your chances at all. I got braces (recently got them off) last year, as a freshman, and I was, and am a cheerleader now. Although i was on the team before tryouts, there were girls who had braces and made the team anyway. Yes, smiling and being spirited is important, but braces don’t make a difference. You can get your braces so that the colors match your schools colors, but it doesn’t matter really. I had light blue braces the whole time I had braces, and my schools colors are red and black. Braces shouldn’t affect whether you make the team, but how you present yourself and your skills, will affect your chances
    good luck!
