braces

how old is too old for braces? i think once you are out of high school they should be gone... but im starting college and getting them on. (my mom is making me bleh)

so i say 18. what do YOUUUUU say...?

I'm getting them junior year because....... I need them. I don't know why my parents never got them long ago. I hate the idea and i think that it's too late. I don't think there is a set age for too old though.

i got them in 5th grade and now i "need" them again because of my wisdom teeth coming in. so getting them when your older can be better.

I got them on over a year and a half ago, and I'm almost 18. (starting senior year) I just had them work on it a lot, so I would have them off fast. The last pieces come off Sept 15. I actually have my top retainer on now, but i only wear it at night.

If you're going into college, can't you just get that invisilign (sp?) stuff? I'm sure that would work for you. At least it looks good on the commercial.

yeah, i got those clear things on for my retainers, they work great and you can hardly see/feel them

[varock]

gettin em on this year (senior year) I think its too late but whatever...better late than never

i wanted invisalign but my orthodontist said no. she had people do it and then when they got it off go to normal braces cuz they werent happy with the results. but i dunno. plus i have a crossbite so it wouldnt fix that. haha i checked.

Im 21 and I never got braces...it sucks but we were poor. I wanna get them though eventually. How long do they usually have to stay on for...a year?

im and 197 year old man with braces that are attached to my fake teeth which rest in a glass of water on my bedside table at night. and i still manage to get the ladies. so don't worry about it.

it's never too late. i mean, do u wanna have metal mouth for a few years, or crooked jacked up teeth forever? get the braces

[ChineseNoodle13]

i have braces and i'm a junior... yay for mee

[Hyperlite]

i got mine in grade 6, got them off in grade 9..would of been less but haflway through i was doing flips on a trampoline and my knees smashed into my mouth, moving my teeth around.

i dont know, i know my one friend's mom had braces when she was in her late 20's/early 30's...and we were like 12 or 13. ::ahem:: she was a MILF ::ahem::

I don't think it's ever too late. My sister has them now, and she's 29. I'm 21, and if it's covered in my mum's dental insurence, i'm probally going to get them soon too. I mean, it's better than having scary retard looking teeth.
