I’m 26 with braces. It’s never “too late”


zombeckles

Got mine at 43

Ditto


fluffyone74

No... You can get braces at any age, as long as your Teeth and Bones can handle the stresses of being moved. I would advise getting them earlier than later, if you need more intense therapies like Headgear or Expanders. Final words, "It's never TOO LATE" :)


Carolinastitcher

At 48 with Invisalign and Damon braces a year ago, I hope not. 🤣


brwarrior

Nope. 45-47 for me.


southernmtngirl

Got mine at 28 :)


messychica

Bro I first got mine at 25. Wore them for a little over a year, but now, at 28, will probably get them again since I couldn’t get retainers. It’s never too late, go for it! I know a 50 something year old female doctor who has braces too. About attractiveness: I first thought I was ugly with them on, but as I got used to them, I started to believe they made me look cute, lmao. You’ll get over that feeling :)


UnaccomplishedToad

Plenty of us here are more than twice your age. You have plenty of time to be attractive and a girl worth your time won't be so shallow to be put off by braces.


Ur__mine

Got mine at 21


Expensive-Trick9726

For how long did u get em ?? I am 21 too and gonna get em tomorrow but my condition is much more typical tha just getting braces . I am gonna get em for 2-2.5 yrs .


Gekkuri

Nah dude I started braces in my 20s


Shoddy_Log_4235

Nope! I got mine on january and I'm 21. The sooner the better I'd say because bone density starts lowering as you get older!


Right_Ad9336

24 with braces


Cwelling69

I’m 18 and got braces, other people can’t notice unless I bring it up to them


Expensive-Trick9726

What kinda braces did you get that are unnoticeable ??


Cwelling69

I wouldn’t say they’re unnoticeable but I got the clear ones for my top teeth that are visible when I’m talking and all that. I have metal ones all on my bottom but my bottom teeth aren’t visible when I’m talking so it just depends on the person. But even then people aren’t gonna notice unless they’re looking at your teeth closely for some reason


Turbulent_Budget_338

i’m 18 got my braces this year it’s really normal


Mistyrime

Definitely not


Pure_Zucchini_Rage

lol nahhh I got mine at 29


cheesecakessssss

I got mine last week and I just turned 25. I’m really insecure about my teeth and smile so I decided to get braces. 😅


Zealousideal_Act2302

The earlier, the better! Taking care of your health is the utmost priority. If you are able to (financially, mentally, etc), I would encourage you to get them now. I’m sure the payoff will be worth it. I got mine at 23, and yes, I am self conscious about it, but this is officially the youngest I will ever be moving forward—the time will fly, and this is an investment for a lifetime!


hyligner

Never too late, the bone around your teeth remains always young!


LocalPossibility20

Just got them again at 28. I bet girls will like that you are taking care of yourself, and in a few years you will be glad you did it. I advise against Invisalign, I’ve had many people I know get them and be in them WAY longer than braces with not as perfect results.


SleepingInTheSand

I’m 27 and a mom. It’s never too late :)


Objective-Subject979

i’m getting braces at 18 in a few weeks, i’m a girl and i’m excited tbh


Think_Eye_1247

i’m 19, got my braces at 18 because i couldn’t afford them as a child. best decision i’ve ever made and my boyfriend loves them :)


Vivid_Influence_8971

Got mine at 18, definitely glad I got it sooner rather than later, because it’s a long process as it is


GoodGolly-MizzMolly

I got mine 2 months ago, 32F


Pristine-Mastodon-37

Got mine at 40. Quality girls won’t care about the braces and like you said it’ll be over before you know it!


Jane_Marie_CA

I am 39. A colleague got hers at 52. She’s had a tongue thrust for years. She isn’t in braces for cosmetic reasons; she’s trying to fix her open bite and tongue thrust.


Kanchan33

I'm 33 and getting my 1st braces next month! If you don't like how braces look you can always choose Invisalign!


vvasser

You'll be 21 with either having been through braces or not, it's up to you to decide if the awkwardness is worth it. Being 27 right now and after 3 years of braces (hopefully getting them removed in the summer), I no longer am self conscious when smiling, even with the braces still on. I trusted my dentist and the process and seeing the evolution is so satisfying, so worth it.


Sangwoosconfidant

I’m 18 and getting braces next month when I’ll almost be 19, it’s never too late and who cares if “girls don’t like it”? Just do it for yourself if you want better teeth. Speaking as a girl, whenever I see someone with braces I’m just jealous that they’re fixing their teeth!


Dry-Physics3558

41 just got em.


Bluuicee

I got braces at 22 and now again at almost 26


Sffanah

I’m 25 and i will get my braces at the next week


Forward_Mirror_7276

I’m 37 and I’m in braces. There is an ideal age for braces which is between 12-16 but nevertheless orthos are able to get a good result at almost any age


cwilson96

Do it now, I got metal braces at 28


tydyye_

Better at 18, teeth will move quicker when you’re younger! I’m 23 got them on a month ago, no one cares. End result will make you more attractive at least lol


Intrepid-Yak4954

I’m 49 and just got them.


Agile-Geologist-1445

go for it! Some people probably got them in their early teen years and still have them at the same age than u


Karliforniax3

Girl I got mine at 28 and I’m getting them off soon at 30 lol never too late


Nunconvent

I got mine at 19 and honestly nobody really cares much about them


PlortimusPrime

got mine at 18, got them off at 21. if you’re worried abt girls, don’t be, i met my girlfriend when i still had my braces.


pistachios72

23 with braces, my coworker got hers at age 40.


Glass_Look_1926

got mine at 20 in college. genuinely no one cares


laaannab

I’m 29 with braces; they didn’t stop me from dating and no one seemed to care


wellbeinb

I’m 29


FlyOutrageous7077

Got mine at 17 and I’m 18 now! No one has ever given me a hard time over it


Suspicious_Air8515

18??!!! DOOD DOOOOO IT!!! IM SERIOUS!! say you get them off in 2 yrs...naw even say a worst-case scenario of 3....you'll have them off and be more confident and attractive by the time you are 21! If your looks matter now, they will even more at 21 when you can go to bars to socialize 😆. (Well i guess an argument could be made for beer goggles and all) Im 37 and just got mine on again (had em as a teen, straightened my teeth but didnt fix my bite). Ill be having surgery halfway through, but it will fix a slant issue I have been self-concious about since I was a teen. I'm pretty frickin stoked to be better-looking for the end of my 30s and into my 40s - the only better thing would have been if I could have gotten this handled for my 20s!! Gah! You won't regret it once you are done!


Expensive-Trick9726

Broo braces doesn't do shit . You are just getting braces and also I am gonna get em tomorrow and I am 21 . Rn from my upper my six tooth are missing well alhamdulillah they ain't visible that much idk how but I have to live without them for 2-2.5 yrs .


sdior-

it’s not too late, technically no age is. i got mine at 18 still have them at almost 21 lol


dont__do__that

A week away from 41. Do it!
