Hiya
I'm 40 and was braced at 37
I'm nearing the end now...about time...it's been nearly three years! I have had 5 teeth removed and the last gap is finally almost closed (teeth were straightened ages ago...!)
I just wanted to say that this is probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself...I'm a mum of 3 and am always so busy...should've done this when I was 13 but had scoliosis so was having treatment for that and couldn't do it all! I have close friends I've met since being braced and they just know me as me and don't think of my teeth...and the ones I had before dont ever mention it they're so used to it! I'm an actor too..on stage (I have ceramics) they are invisible...speaking clearly was a problem at first but now I've got it sorted.
Good luck...it's so worth it!
