I got mine aged 32 and due to be debraced in April, age 34. I had a cross bite that meant my bottom jaw was all shifted across to the right and my molars didn't meet. Having put it off for years (and not having correction as a teen) I finally decided to and really haven't looked back. People are generally curious but not negative.

I'm 38 and just got braced on the 5th. Hopefully will be in them for only 12-15 months. Been waiting 20 years and wish I'd done it sooner!!

I was 13 when I first got braces. Kept them until I was 18.
Now I'm 27 and I just had braces put on again.

I was 33 when I went full metal mouth and six months later I'm 34. My treatment was suppose to last 30 months, but we are roughly where my Ortho thought we would be after two years, so I'm hoping I only have six more months, but he said closer to a year at this point.

I'm 20 years old and I'll be getting braces on March 10th. So that'll be 20 for me XD. The doctor predicted I'll use them for at least 2 years but no longer than 3 so maybe in time I graduate from my Masters XD

I was actually 11 when I got them and 15 when I got them off. I've been trying to keep up with my retention but have had some issues with my lower retainer recently.

I think I was around 13 when I had 4 pre-molar extractions, 14 when I got braces and 16 when I got them taken off.
