I'm 24 (and 3 weeks) and should get them off when I'm still 25 if my 18 month estimate is right! 2 and a half days feels too long right now though!

I got my braves when I turned 23 and hoping they would come
Off by te time I turn 25. I always had dental phobia and I wished I had got them
When I was 12 or 13. But better to be late than never I guess.
I'm so happy with my decision.

I was 64 when I got my braces. People think I'm waiting at the orthodontist to pick up my grandchildren.

It's been 1 year and 5 months and they will be coming off in 40 days. Just in time for my son's wedding.

I am 54-years-old and have had my snazzy braces for one month and 3 days. It's great to learn that so many adults are serious about their teeth, dental health, and well, just to look better and be confident in our smiles!
