In recent history, aesthetic procedures such as rhinoplasties and hair transplants have been somewhat stigmatized and some who've had them might not want to admit it in public. Was this ever also the case with the use of dental braces (at least where one's ability to chew didn't depend on them)?

In Jimmy Soul's "If You Wanna Be Happy" (1963), a dialogue mid-song has a guy rudely telling his friend his wife is ugly, and the friend replies: "But she sure can cook!" Would 60's listeners have taken "cook" as a euphemism here? Or is that a 21st-c. mind reading too much into a more innocent time?
