NEVER! idk if you have seen but now they have things that are kind of like retainers except they serve as braces, and no one can see them!. one of my friends got it; it's called invisalign and it didn't make her talk wierd either like some other mouth pieces do!.

even if you do want reeeeeal braces with the metal in your mouth, they have clear ones, but of course they're a little more noticeable


don't be afraid to get your teeth fixed, the invisalign really helps! and it's not noticeable;)Www@Answer-Health@Com

We have patients in our office that are in their 60's! (the oldest ever was in her 80's)
You are never to old to save your teeth!. Braces straighten teeth and align your bite, so are worth it at any age!.
If you are concerned about appearance, go for clear braces!. Many of our adult patients have them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

in most cases getting braces later in life is better cuz the jaw can move and move your teeth around a bit, so yes it is normal for an older person to have braces!. if you're self conscience bout your teeth then go for itWww@Answer-Health@Com

My mom was 43 when she had braces! You'll look fine!.If you are really concerned it's possible you can get braces on the inside of your teeth so they are barely visible or you can get clear braces but expect a large fee for both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no!. you're never too old for braces!. its just that if you're older, your teeth are stronger and it takes a longer time to correct your teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In my country I've seen several adults wearing braces and actually 20 isn't really too old for it and after the braces are gone you wont grow older with ugly teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes i've seen older people with them- you don't have much choice anyway- a year or 2 with braces or the rest of your life with buck teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no your not,it would be way worse if you didn't get them and in 5 years time ended up with a horrible looking set of teeth!
plus ugly betty is cute :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

At 20, you should be able to gt invisalign!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
