I got mine at the start of this year, at 22-23 years old. Always wanted to get rid of my buck teeth, but hated the idea of metal wires in my mouth. In 2007 I saw this new "braceless braces" technology. A few years later I learned that it was Invisalign.

Actually the best thing about it to me, is that the preparation work required me to replace my old fillings and fix all the decay in my mouth.

I was braced for the first time 6 days ago at age 48. My projected treatment is 12-14 months. I am really hoping to have them off in time for my 50th.

I'm 33 and getting braces for the first time on Monday. I'm seriously nervous about it as I am a wimp when it comes to pain.

Braced for the very first time in September at the age of 39. Started college exactly one week later.

My life time line seems to be a little off :)~

I am 35 and get mine on Tuesday. It really is good to see that there are lots of people my age or even older going through this.
