    Got braces at 36. Best thing I ever did for myself. I used to cover my teeth with my lips or make sure I was talking when a photo was taken - now I smile all the time!

    Good luck op, the time will fly in and you will be delighted you did it.... just make sure to wear your retainer!!!! The orthodontist will give you the lecture themselves but just please, heed the lecture! I didnt and I regret it. The retainer is just as important as the braces!

    Hi Folks,

    Update: After months of waiting for appointments, moulds, photos, x-rays and consultations I will be finally getting my braces on the 10th of October :)

    The Ortho believes I may get away with wearing braces without any teeth removed (although this may be a possibility in the future depending on my teeths movement)

    Kind of excited but nervous at the same time.

    Hey op, i just got mine on a month ago, 22 year old male, first week was brutal after getting them on but you grow accustomed to them, also it's the perfect time to get them with the whole mask wearing situation, nobody even knows I have them on at work. Any questions you have feel free to fire away, but trust me it's worth it

    Hi All,

    I was hoping to get advice for the above issue.

    I have what I would describe as extremely crooked teeth, lower and especially my two front teeth.

    I'm now 28 and fear I have or am developing a mental health issue because of it.

    I think about my crooked teeth all the time, avoid smiling when people are looking at me and constantly pull, mess and examine my teeth in the mirror, screens, phone etc..

    Whenever I see others with good teeth it embarrasses me and makes me think of how bad mine are.

    Would anyone have advice on how to get over this? It seems to make me more paranoid about myself as time goes on.

    I was in the same position as you. I decided to get Invisalign in November 2019. All done now and I am really happy with my smile. Not hollywood perfect but I really wish I did it a long time ago. I feel much more confident now.


    The Invisalign is great as people usually don't notice them in your mouth. And you quickly stop caring wether they do or not anyway. Your dental hygiene will improve too as you'll brush more. My teeth have never been healthier or whiter now.

    100% recommended. I absolutely urge you to see an orthodontist who will put your mind at ease about the whole process.


    Edit: just saw your recent update that you'll get braces. This will be one of the best decisions you ever made.

    Remember to take before photos.. that's how you'll really appreciate your perfect smile when you can look back on them
