Why, no.  Why should I?

Do you really think that wearing braces will have that effect?  I hate to
start saying "what you expect is what you will create for yourself" --
especially after the evangelical way certain net.singles people were pushing
that idea a few months ago! -- but in this particular situation I think the
idea applies.  I suspect that your expectations about the social effects of
wearing braces will make a *lot* more difference than the braces themselves.

If you still aren't convinced, then think of it this way:  don't you think
braces are more attractive than crooked teeth?
