37 & new to the Forum - getting braces tomorrow

Glad I found this forum. I feel like I'm the only 35+ metal mouth in the world

you are definitely not the only 35 + person with braces! This forum has been invaluable to me so far, and i have only had braces on for 2 weeks. Keep checking in through out your treatment and you will find someone who is going through the same thing as you. Good luck!

Hello, I'm turning, 40 and I just got my braces a month ago. I've been searching the internet trying to find something like this site for a month now and all I kept running into is those interactive tools to see how the bands around the brackets would look in color. I am glad to have found this site too.

I'm 38, and have had braces on for the last 11months....you are definitely not alone!

Thanks guys - I greatly appreciate your responses. How has it been for you this first month?
I wonder if you ever get used to it...

Good luck with your braces!
