Anybody who has had braces as an adult..?

Question

my uncle is having his top 4 front teeth fixed at age 38...he's going for the 6 months braces...his problem is fairly large gaps and minor alignment issues...anybody out there with a similar experience..

Answer 1

well I'm 19 and have braces and the improvement is amazing i haven't even had my braces on for a year yet and you can really see the difference so its totally worth it!! tell him he should do it if he wants a better smile and that its worth it in the long run :)  

Answer 2

I had a brace fitted a few years ago.  I had a middle bottom tooth removed and now I have no gap at all. Oh and I am older than your uncle.  

Answer 3

my pastor/teacher has braces, and he is like, 55. it was so funny though because we came into school and he started teaching and we were all like laughing under our breath because he had a lisp and stuff and it looked funny. but now we are all used to it so its okay.

Answer 4

I have had fixed braces just last year and had great results with it. Since I had it done, all my other friends (all adults like me) started having them too.

Six month braces also known as 6 month smiles are a great way of correcting crowding and and also spacing. This types of treatment is really popular in the States and has just arrived in the UK and am sure it will be very popular in the UK too.

Best of Luck
