Grandma with braces

#1 Post by Zoie51 »

Are there any over 55 men or women out there that are wearing or have had braces? Love to hear your experience!

Well I am over 55 but not yet a grandparent ( and given that my children are all teenagers, hope that pleasure is still a few years off!).

You can read my experience of being braced by clicking on my story below.

Brackets added to premolars 2 April 2012
