21 Male, Braces.... What to do?

Question

My teeth are all over the place, they're horrible. I close my mouth when I smile, I try not to laugh as it shows my teeth. My teeth are horrible, they're clean but crooked, a canine is growing above where the baby one used to be and there are gaps.

I consider myself average / slightly above in appearance other than this and it has really knocked my confidence and three years of braces is a long time.

So my question to you is... Is 21 too old for a guy to get braces? What would you think if you saw it?

Thank you.

Answer 3

Not at all, more adults are getting braces now than ever. Get started right away so you will have a great smile.

Answer 4

I work in the dental field and it is perfectly okay to get braces. Sometimes you can even get a free consult and they can tell you what they can do for you. Invisalign isn't for everyone but you can check into it since I don't know your current condition of your mouth. Just be sure to have proper oral hygiene if you decide to go with braces, I feel it's better to get them when you're older because you can take care of them better. Good luck!

Answer 5

you should get braces. You will feel so much better about yourself afterwards. they really change the way you look and feel for the better.

I don't think 21 is too old. If i saw a 21 year old with braces, all i would think is that they didn't want them as a teen for some reason but now they changed their mind.

I had some realllyyy messed up crooked teeth, and i thought i'd have them on for years and years. I only have to wear them for 18 months.

& my friend had even worse teeth, she even had 14 teeth pulled, gaps, crooked, and extra teeth. she only had to wear them for about 24 months.

Its no where near as bad as you think.

Get Invisalign! No one will be able to even tell you have them!
