What age is too old for braces? My sister will be wearing braces soon and she's already 21. Most of my friends got braces at around 12-15 years old and to me it's kinda uncomfortable having it at an older age. What do you think?

People in their late 30s is too for braces.

wear invisalign it's the serve the same purpose as braces, you can take it out. It's invisable..well sort of.
Most healthcare cover for this dental plan, but be prepare paying about 400$ with dental plan. but braces with dental plan is about 250...

[LunaDiviner]

Of course it's better to get them when you're younger because it hurts less and most people have it then. But I've seen people in their 30s have them.

I don't think it's never too late to get braces, I mean I've seen people wearing head gears in their 30s so I guess it's fine. Some people just get weaker teeth when they start to age, like I probably prefer to get them in pre-teen years (around 13-17)

I saw this old lady, she was probably around her 50's and she had braces.
I also saw this 30 year old with braces too.
It's never too late to have straight teeth I guess?

I don't think a person's too old to wear braces.
As long as braces serve it's purpose for making teeth straight.
I think it's just more expensive when you get it as an adult, because teeth is harder to straighten when you are older.

my sister had them 2years ago when she was 22 and i met this girl outside a store yesterday and she was like 28 and she had braces o_o;;

[kawaiimonstarr]

i think it's better if you wear it when you're older so you can let your teeth grow out.
im planning to get some during college then i wont have to have it on that long

I know people who got braces in their late 20's (like 28 years old), so it's not too late. 21 is not too late at all.

[megan92]

it doesn't matter when you have braces. nobody will really care. my mom was 49 or 50 when she got them...

[chdairkld]

it's never too late to get braces! it'll also take care of the wisdom teeth issues.

[rozeng1122]

both my sisters have braces, me too. they are 32 and 26 and i'm 14

[suju sarang]

its never too old for braces but its just better to get them earlier cause if u do, u wont have to go through as much pain and as much time..

[ladyluckk]

You're never too old for braces. My aunt who's in her forties just got braces.
It's just better to get them when you're young because your teeth are still growing
(or something like that), and it'll hurt less.

[loveamii]

my dad got braces in his late thirties or early forties...
but he only wore them for like a year or two and switched to invisiline

im sure 21 is not too old for them


:/ im 15 now and i still havent gotten any..
and i really think i need some

[LS1toSVT]

There is no such thing. Everyone's teeth mature at different ages, different stages. Just because you are a certain age doesn't mean anything. It sucks but you can't be so self conscious about what it will look like. There are always the clear ones too. You need them if your dentist says so, it will only benefit you in the future.

[Lovelight]

there's no age limit to braces. the only thing is it's better to get them when you're in your early teens because it's easier for your teeth to adjust. when you're older, it takes longer and you have to wear braces longer.

[vip_gd]

ew .. my mom has braces and she's in her forties xDD
now that's old!
so yeah, i don't think people in their 20's are too old

[rufflezz]

No, my aunt, she's 40 something and she's still wearing braces. It doesn't really have the age limit.. until 60 or something.
