25 years old. I always wanted them as a teenager but my parents could not afford it. Now, I wish so bad this was done when I was a teen so I didn't have to go through it now.

Newbie here!
I just got my braces two weeks ago. I'm 31. Couldn't be happier about getting them!

I'm 41. Got my braces on three weeks ago. So far, so good, though I'd kinda like to take them off for a little while. I guess it's a good thing I went conventional over invisalign!

At 41! Left it too long tbh and only after my wife kept insisting. Should have done it a while ago.

I was 14 the first time, got western dental.
Teeth were left flared and so at 23 I have them again with extractions and little screws to help bring my teeth back into my mouth.

I got them at 25 and it was really tough at first. I really wish someone had told me I needed them when I was younger. My teeth "look" good and I don't think anyone will be able to tell a difference when I get them off, but apparently I have a lot of bite issues.

Just got mine 11 days ago. I am 37. Will be 40 when I get mine off so hoping to start my 40's off with great teeth :)
I should have had them as a child, and could have because my parents had excellent benefits... wish I had then... but then it probably would have added to the things I would be bullied for (I was geeky, overweight, my mom was a teacher, and a minority religion...throw braces in there and yeah... I can only imagine.)
I've always avoided smiling much in pictures which drove my mom nuts. I HATED my smile, worse and worse over the years. Braces didn't even cross my mind. About 7-8 years ago a co-worker of mine treated herself to braces when she turned 40. At the time, I thought "good for her" and didn't think anything more of it. (I've lost contact with her - I'd love to see her teeth now!) Last year I met a girl at my new job who turns 50 this year and just got her braces off about a month ago. She raved about her braces all the time, loves her new teeth, and recommended her orthodontist to me... and... here I am... baby steps into my journey :) Off to a rough start but looking forward to the final results :)
