Had mine taken out recently just this month and I'm 24. But dentist told me I should've taken it out in my teens cos the tooth toughens up over time. My sister had hers 18.

Answer 2

Answer 8

Answer 9

I think that most people have troubles with them and take them out in their teens.  Others take them out anyway in their teens because recovery time is easier and there's less chance of an infection.  

Personally, I waited and noticed that I had troubles earlier this year and finally had them removed.  I'm 28.  No big whoop!
