At what age will it start to become awkward wearing braces? Is it awkward at a younger age, or not really ?

Question

since so many young people wear them?

Answer 1

its awkard after 14 or 15 in my opinion. i got braces at 13 & got them off at 15. i hated it cause i was soooo old.

id say 10 or 11 would be good cause youve lost most of your teeth but your still little

Answer 2

Braces are tough to deemed akward since a lot of people need them but fear they are to akward to wear. Nowadays, however, any age before 30 is appropriate for braces. There are several formats of braces that can make them look like a natural smile when they are on. Whenever you get them, remember, braces are cool. Those who think otherwise probably really need them.

Answer 3

not really for younger.. but at around 18 it starts to get weird

Answer 4

when you get older, your teeth are more settled. Most people who had braces as adults wear a retainer at night for the rest of their lives.  

Answer 5

I think braces start becoming awkward at around 16 and up

Answer 6

well, i am 20 and i have to get them, and I am not happy at all about it.  I wish i could have just had them when i was younger

Answer 7

so many kids have them now, it's no big deal. It's like picking on a kid for wearing blue jeans.

if someone makes fun of someone else for having braces (which i've never seen or heard of), in two years that person can make fun of the kid with buck-teeth.

Answer 8

after highschool age i wouldnt recomend it unless needed

Answer 9

Hello....we have had patients in their 60's with braces....you are not to old to improve your dental health!
