I'm 31, and I'm so glad I'm doing this. I didn't want another year to pass by with me still thinking of doing something about my smile. Wish I'd done it when i first discussed it with my dentist last year, but better late than never!

I'm 24+. Turning 25 in december. Getting them on next month. Feeling really anxious about it. I have Class1 bimaxillary protrusion and requires the extraction of 4 bis... so I'm not really looking forward to that hahahah and also worrying about how this will change my face:P

I have thought about getting braces for the past 7 years, but never quite pulled the trigger until last month. I'm 36 and will get mine within the next 2 weeks. Looking forward to it....finally getting this done!

Got mine at 28. I'll still have them when I turn 30 unless my 24-30 month sentence magically shortens to 17.5 months or less. :lol:

34....and was told at 18 that they would be "mandatory" at some point. Should have just done it when insurance covered them. :( Oh well. They're on, and will be off in 28 months...gosh that sounds like a long time.

I'm 24, never thought I would need braces. I just thought the dentist was trying to increase his sales because my teeth aren't crooked or anything. Then, BHAM... I need a jaw surgery & braces or else my teeth will eventually fall off. :( ... all my front teeth were shaky and I had no choice.
