I'm 23 and got them on when I was 22. My parents couldn't afford them so I had to wait until I had a full-time job. Happy to say that they were paid off within 7 months!

I got them at 8, again at 12, and again at 15. I will be getting them again in a few months in preparation for jaw surgery!

I was 11-14 when I first had braces. I am now about to start my 2nd time around at 28 and hopefully they will be off shortly before I am 30.

I just got them on at age 26. I will probably be 28 when they come off.

Wow, definitely didn't expect my age group to be winning. It definitely feels good to know it's not just me doing it at this point in my life.

OMG, they're on! I almost bailed last night but I must admit that I got strength to stay the course from lots of the positive feedback on this forum. Now if I can figure out how to add one of those timelines...Thanks
