First at age 11 or 12, and again at 35 (which I still am). Never too late!

I was 23 when I first got braces. Spent a huge chunk of my income on it and had 4 teeth extracted for the treatment. Had a big white wedding with a mouth of metal and then got them out after about 30 months. Didn't use my retainers religiously and teeth relapsed and now tongue sticks out of the holes in the bottom teeth when I talk, so at 39 I am getting them redone...better luck this time

I originally got braces when I was 12. I am missing my lateral incisors and was fitted with Maryland bridges after treatment. Now, at 31, I am getting braces for the second time. One of my bridges fell out and I decided to upgrade to an all ceramic rather than a bridge with the dark metal wings. My two front teeth have shifted, so I am getting braces short term (3 months) to correct them before having the bridge work done. I am excited that my smile is going to look nice again!

I got my braces at 36 after wanting them for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure what took me so long to get them but I've had them for 3 weeks now.
