Another ancient one here. I started at 58 and am now 60, with an indeterminate amount of time to go. You are never too old, so why not go for it. It can take longer to move teeth at this age, I can attest to that, but it does work.
Lower braces on March 11, 2015, upper braces added July 14, 2015.
Damon, metal bottom / clear top.
Braces off March 26, 2018: Total time in braces: 3 years, 2 weeks and 1 day.
Hawley retainers top and bottom.

Exactly my situation 58 next month want them off by 60 maybe. They would like me to do surgery for narrow upper arch not committed to that yet.

Your never too old! Plus you'll probably be a lot happier after. Straight teeth should be a priority for everyone!
