If all goes well just before my 48th birthday. I remember being in my late 20's when I went for my first Ortho appt. I backed out of the whole process at the time because I couldn't imagine being 30 and wearing braces. Boy have times changed!

Great to see this thread has gotten a good number of responses. It just goes to show that its never never too late to get braces no matter how old you are, we're the proof in the pudding :P
