Actually, "Ugly Betty" does NOT struggle with self confidence issues. She is the most self confident character in the show. She simply ignores the shallowness of the industry that she works in. She's smart and cool enough to see right through the glossy exteriors of her co-workers and straight through to their inner sad low self esteem selves. I think the Ugly Betty character is one of the bravest, most self confident role models that we've seen in years. That's the irony of the show, Ugly Betty is beautiful. And by the way, they put the braces on her to hide the fact that she in real life has an amazing smile with perfectly straight teeth and NOT because braces mean that she's ugly. They are actually really cute, and very trendy.

No Hun, she is not ugly at all.
It's because she works for Mode Magazine and all the staff who work there are all horrible.
They are all skinny and beautiful and they tease her cos she is a bit chubby and she doesn't have her hair in a fashionable style. Her clothes are not designer, her eye brows are not plucked and yes she does wear a brace.
The show is trying to say that Betty is normal, as we are not all fab looking with skinny bodies, but Betty is the nicest person on the show.
Don't you worry about your brace, I wore one for two years and you want to see my teeth now, everyone always says to me " haven't you got lovely teeth " and you will to.
Take care Hun!

See? you are worried about yer own self image. Just like the first poster said, it is a series about a girl who worries about her self image. They make it for girls to realize that they should stop worrying whether they are ugly or not. It's like a motivational type of show, with comedy and lots of fun. And no, having braces does not make you ugly. Even cameron diaz wore braces when she was young, look how she is likeed by everyone? So do not worry. You wear braces not to BECOME ugly. Wearing it, does not make you ugly. Cheer up lil girl and enjoy the energy and fresh-ness of youth!

The title "Ugly Betty" refers to the fact that Betty is working at a fashion magazine, and fashion is her weakness. So, she gets a lot of rudeness because she is different from everyone else.
The show is funny because Betty portrays the "ugly" in all of us. (braces, coarse hair, chubbiness, etc.) But, once you get to know Betty's personality, you see her inner beauty shining through and you forget all about her braces and stuff.
It doesn't matter if you have a brace -- I don't think it really determines your beauty. Don't worry about if other people think you're ugly because of the brace...it's what's inside that matters the most.

NO it absolutely does NOT mean that u r ugly!!!!
i'm 13 too and i have braces and glasses and fairly messy hair and yes just like all teens i have my zit-face days, so i'm sometimes considered not one of the "pretty" girls.(mostly at school) but that has never stopped me from doing anything. because i just got tired of changing myself to be "pretty" like everyone else, so i stopped caring!
so no; in no ways does having braces make u "ugly".
u r who u r!!!!
heh...i'm sorry if i took this question too seriously.....
....i have a very "if u don't like it/me, then tough crap!!!" attitude......
like 5 minutes later...
you know i bet getting all of these ppls answers is making u feel all warm and special inside! lol
please listen to their kind words.

First of all, just relax. In the show it's not because of the brace. The title is a reflection on how she sees herself, and since she winds up working for a fashion magazine where everyone in obsessed with how they look, they dub her ugly.
The show's basic message is that how you look is one thing, it's who you are that's more important.
Besides, how can you take a show seriously that has Jim from Neihbours in it?

She's ugly becouse people around them see her ugly and says her that she is even though she's not ugly. Braces.... That's not ugly!
