If you have braces......?!


Question: If you have braces......?
can you please me how old you are so i can have a good indication of wheather the age i'm getting them is about average. (i will be 15 when i get mine)

Answers:

im 14 and ill be 15 on monday, i had mine on since june, and my teeth moved pretty fast. the first couple of hours i had my braces on you could see how much they moved already on the first day! my orthadontist said id need them for 12-18 months, and im like praying to god i need them for only 12 months.



I got mine when i was 18 (which sucks i know) i had some complications with orthodontists, but i know a few people that are older than me that have had them, but generally people are still at secondary school or college (12-17) when they have them done :D

Got them



i was in grade 6 (12) i think and had them for two years. then i got a retainer for two more years. there is no average age though, you get them when you need them. i know lots of adults who have braces and they are like 40 years old :)



I do not have braces anymore but i got my braces when i was in 5th grade! Lol but i got them off in 7th grade. Most people get them 7th or 8th grade but 15 is fine. Your better off getting your braces now than later!



I got mine when I was thirteen. I've known people who got them when they were sixteen, so you should be fine. Anyone in their teen years would be fine getting braces.



I don't think age comes into the equation, its whether they are necessary or not. I had a niece who had them when she was in her forties, and I've known young children with them.



i got braces on my bottom teeth in november , and im getting them on my top teeth a week today
-im 14 , 15 next month (: xxx



I got mine when I was 15



My teeth were in bad shape, I wore my braces grade 7 all the way to grade 12, got them off a week before prom! =-)



Im 14 :)
Most people get them about 14/15 so you will be fine.
