Anybody who’s recently gotten their retainer, PLEASE stick with it. I say that as someone who had braces for 5 years in my youth, and due to underlying health issues, stopped wearing the retainer for a time, and lost a bit of the progress the braces did. Due to being self-conscious and a bit embarrassed now, I’m reconsidering braces at 23 😔 Wearing that retainer will definitely improve the longevity of your smile, and you owe that to yourself. Don’t make the mistake I did!

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Yes! I 100% agree with everything you have said! Making sure to wear your retainer will help avoid your teeth shifting again, but if it does happen, we always have the option to get things restraightened with braces or invisalign!

I’m 36 n I have my braces in 2020 and soon it will come off I’m so happy my teeth is straight now I feel so confident in life

[@finntroll1000]

I'm also 36 yrs old just realized this year that its time to have braces on . I'm in my 3rd month now and I hate wearing it cant eat properly due to my upper teeth hitting bracket of my lower teeth .

[@erisa3767]

Same 36 yo, will put braces next week. Do you have to pull off some teeth before put braces?

[@healy21]

39 and I’ve had braces for eight months now. I notice a huge difference!

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

That's awesome to hear! Do you know how long you are expecting to have the braces on?

[@jaysmack8054]

I know it’s case by case but what was the cost ?

[@quinsy42]

I'm 27 and never had orthodontic treatment. My dentist referred my case as "moderate" when I had my cleaning and I was inquiring about orthodontist to close my diastema (front gap) and some alignment/tooth rotation on my bottom teeth. No bite issues. At my consultation my orthodontist gave me an estimate of 8-10 months (LOL!) but my treatment did not end until almost 17 months (1 yr and 5 months). It's not 100% but I'm happy with my gap being closed. That was my biggest concern.

[@Elmachable]

Got mine at 40 yrs on upper jaw and Tad's after nine months. Now after 14 months and enough space for braces I got them on lower jaw. Progress is visible.

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

That is awesome to hear! Looking forward to hearing more about your progress!

[@Fish-xk9gj]

How long did it take

[@Essays4College]

Do dentists ever tell people that they DON'T need braces?

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

Some people get lucky and they are born with ideal alignment of their jaws and teeth! But not all of us are so lucky.

[@chrisgomez1840]

i was told for a year n have been wearing mine for 2 years and 3 months

[@aasthashrivastava4351]

Hey then why do we require retainers if jaw does not grow for our whole life?

[@MartinGeorgiev-zp6nm]

Is it possible the jaws to become symmetrical with braces in adults after their 30s? Even if you correct the bite will the front teeth be symmetrically positioned in the jaws

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

This is certainly our goal!

[@kkevinj1]

It takes 3 years when they tell you 2 lol Im at 2 years 7 months with many visits left

[@smileonyouandblessedsmile]

The time required for braces treatment can really depend on a number of different factors. But the best thing that you can do is to keep up with your orthodontist visits every month, using the rubber bands and different appliances as instructed, and keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy to make sure that you stay on track with your expected timeline!

[@kkevinj1]

@@smileonyouandblessedsmile never missed an appointment, never broke a bracket, he never tells me to clean my teeth, I wear the rubber bands and its STILL a year extra lol but worth it, damon system

Crowned teeth can still be moved with braces!

Hi, I'm 19 and I have an overbite as well. I started with braces at sept 6 2021. My jawsurgery is planned at May 31 2022 and my braces will be off in september or october 2022. So in my case it will take about one year.
