If miracles happen then I'll be brace free in time for my 21st!

Seeing as that will only be 14 months treatment time its not very likely so I'm thinking I'll be 21 or nearly 22.
That's really scary...Can't I be a teenager for a few more years?

if they come off on schedule I will be 38.

Pessimistic (me): around 31...optimistic: 28.

I guess my ortho just wanted to cheer me up by telling me it *could* only take around 1 and a half years.
Last time I was in braces for five years so I'm expecting the worst.

I was 17 when I got them put on and I was 19 when I got them taken off.

I was just barely 20 when I got them on. I'm crossing my fingers I'll be 22....I'd hoped to get them off before my birthday this December, but extenuating circumstances got in the way. Oh well, at least one day I'll have STRAIGHT TEETH!

I'll be just 3 years away from the big five oh.

And wow, this thread has been going for two years!!

For all I know, I posted in it previously. Hah.

P.S. Adjustment tomorrow, hoping for some good news, like a debracing date. I'm just shy of a year in archwires and I'd love to be done by, say, New Year's Day.

interesting thread. Well if everything goes to plan, I will be getting the braces off next year around this time which would make me 31. Then I will wear invisalign for 6 months then I will be 32 when those come off.

I will be 30 or 31 depending on what month they come off
