Braces? Are they weird at my age?!


Question: Braces? Are they weird at my age?
Okay so I am a 17 year old senior and have needed braces since forever but have waited until now to really do something about it. I really don't want them but my teeth are horrible like extremely bad but I feel like I'm too old for them. I am going to be in college in the fall and turn 18 this November and am just wondering what you guys think about it and any advice on the kinds (ceramic, regular, etc.) Thanks in advance.

Hahahaha, I was exactly like you last year! I was 17 and I needed braces, but I didn't want to go to college with them. You are not too old for them, since I've been in college, I found out that I am far from the only one with braces. I get mine off next year woooh, but not until November, awww lol. On a serious note, I've also been told that I look younger than I am, but that hasn't stopped me from getting two jobs since I got my braces, so I think you will be fine. People will take you seriously if you take yourself seriously whether you have braces or not.



I am 21 and I'm planning on getting braces sometime soon.
As long as there's a problem it should be fixed.
If you're really concerned about your look you can have ceramic brackets, but regulars are not bad either.
I'm a junior at dental school & a lot of my mates (boys & girls) have braces .. and they still look as good :)



no way i hvae braces and im 14.
my mum had braces at 40
my uncle had braces at 37
my sister at 16
my brother at 18
;) i think it will be ok!
and ppl say i look better with braces.
so dw :D
and doesnt matter what type
btw dont get clear braces
makes you look like u havnt brushed your teeth LOL



I don't think it's weird. I got braces in high school and I was ok. I think braces are totally worth it in the long run. I have straighter teeth and I brush my teeth much longer than I use to.



NO they are not weird at 17 there not really weird at any age everyone is getting them!

I hated them when i had them but when you get them off its probably the best feeling you just smile all the time.

a lot of my friends still have them so dont stress :)



You are only 17!!!.
There is no age limit for braces. It may even make to look better. You have got to put on braces. If you leave it, your teeth may become worse.
