Well, I am getting them on in 3 weeks and I am 34- I am supposed to have them 12-18 months- so I will be Just 36 or late 35. Unless I can't deal and have them removed at once!!!! Hopefully I'll be fine! Like all you brave people out there.

I'll be either 19 or 20, depending on when they actually end up being taken off.

53 if all goes according to plan. Boy I really feel old. But I really don't care. This is a wonderful thing that I have done for myself.

I will be 40 years old! As we get farther into treatment I am going to ask if it is possible to have them off before my 40th Birthday. They are scheduled to come off in June/July of 2009, but b-day is end of March.

But if not, I will be thrilled to have a beautiful smile in whatever time it has to happen! They have been on a month, and treatment time was 22 months.

I think I will do that, Meryaten. That is the perfect excuse to delay turning 40 :lol:

I got them when I was 21 a month before I turned 22 so best case scenario 23 1/2 if it takes the whole 2 years then a month before I turn 24, if it goes over treatment time I'll be 24!!! I can't wait, my teeth look better every day!! :lol:

I'm getting my invisalign around Canadian Thanksgiving (October 8th) while I'm 29.5. :) Could take 2-3 years, so probably I will be 32. Not too bad!

26, assuming surgery and everything goes according to schedule, which it should unless I personally decide to push it back or something.

The estimated time for treatment is 18 months, so I'll be 27.
