I'll be 41 when they come off. In fact, I'll probably have them off around the time of my birthday! What a lovely present :)

Can I just say that I love the fact that so many of you are around my age :)

It can feel a bit weird sometimes since I don't see other people my age with braces. God bless you all!

Let's see, I got them at 26, ortho tells me 18 months, but I am banking on 24 months so I won't be disappointed... I'll be 28. And if the guy is good on his word: 27 *crosses fingers

It's great to see such a range of ages!!

I will be 53 when they come off unless something weird happens. And then there will be a retainer for how long??? What a crazy adventure!!
