Yated Shidduch Forum 5/10/19: Should My Son Get Braces Before He Starts Dating?

Question:

Dear Shadchanim,
My son will be starting shidduchim sometime next year. While we are aware that looks and appearance are second to middos, I would like him to get Invisalign/braces to better enhance his features. Our dentist never felt that he needed braces, and though he has a beautiful smile, and his teeth are all straight, I want to correct some of his open spaces. My son, on the other hand, doesn’t feel that cosmetic dentistry is necessary. Is it a benefit or is it overkill?
