Is 21 too old to get braces?

Question

i was thinking about getting invisible or Ceramic but i will have to have them for 24 months. am i too old should i just deal teeth i got.

Answer 1

You are never too old to get braces, especially now that they are so much more cosmetically pleasing. If your teeth bother or embarrass you, get those braces!  

Answer 2

I don't think that 21 is too old for braces. I've seen people almost in their 40's with braces. In my opinion, braces means "beautiful teeth in progress". I'd rather work on having beautiful teeth, than to have dentures at an early age. Because, if we don't work on fixing our teeth now, we would need dentures instead. Im sure u would prefer your own teeth being fixed, than to have false teeth in your mouth...I know I would prefer my own. Im 24, and if Im told that I need braces, then I will get it.

Answer 5

absolutely not!

i am 28 years old, will be 29 in a few days, I just got regular "train track" braces in May. I LOVE them! I can already tell a huge difference in my teeth. I have to have them on for 2 1/2 years, but that doesnt bother me. So what, what other people think, your smile will be beautiful when done.

Answer 6

No thats ok.My orthodontists has pictures on the wall of all the people they treated and there are alot of adults. So no 21 is not to old for braces

Answer 7

there is no age limit. i went to my ortho a few days ago and the people working there have braces...the color kind. dont worry about it. after words, it'll pay off anyways

Answer 8

You're never to old to take care of your teeth. Get them done! You'll be happier in the long run

Answer 9

i'm thinking of getting them soon, im 20.

Theres no age limit.. i asked this question not long ago, and people told of their grandparents, 70+, getting braces!!

The earlier the better really, especially at our age..we want nice teeth ^^

So go for it :)
